Vintage Russ Berrie Green Hair Jewel Belly Troll Doll
Russ Berrie & Co. · Toys & Games > Collectibles > Dolls
Era / Decade
1990s (dating clues include the hard plastic mold, synthetic neon hair, and the jewel-in-belly 'Lucky' style popular during the early-to-mid 90s)
Material
Hard vinyl/plastic body, synthetic faux-fur hair, acrylic inset eyes, and a glued-on plastic rhinestone jewel.
Condition
Good. The doll's hair is somewhat frizzy/tangled but still full and retains its neon pigment. The body shows minor surface smudges. The jewel is intact, and the glass-style eyes are free of major scratches.
Demand Level
Moderate. There is a steady niche of '90s nostalgia' collectors, though common variations like this one move slower than rare themed or out-of-production DAM trolls.

Key Features
Desirable 'Lucky Jewel' navel feature, matching monochromatic hair and eye color, iconic Russ brand recognition, and a compact size that is easy/cheap to ship.

Flaws to Note
Light frizzy pilling in the hair; small black surface scuff on the right cheek; minor dust in the crevices of the ears and toes. Most of these are cleanable.
