Topic: 3 headed, 3 stooges troll, from 1978. made with pewter or lead

Hello
I have a 3 headed troll, lead or pewter with the Moe larry and curly heads on it.
These were recalled because of copywrite issues when they made. They were all to be disposed of.
well so far it looks like 4 or so made it to the public.
This took place in 1979 the shipping and completion of the recall took 6 months.

Let me know if you would like to purchase it.


Thank You

Back then, the industry standard for “miniatures” like this one was to cast them in lead. Companies didn’t switch to non-lead metals until the late 1980s/early 1990s when the United States began banning the use of lead for these figures. Gradually miniature production switched from non-lead metal alloys to plastic, which became the industry standard in the early 2000s. It’s getting to the point where 3D-printed plastic miniatures are becoming the norm.

Out of curiosity, did you ever have any luck selling your “Three-Headed Troll”?
