Dr. Frankenstein-nik I Presume?

One of my more humorous vintage toys from the 1960s, this Frankenstein Wishnik Troll doll. The mid 1960s saw a rise in TV shows featuring out-of-this-world characters and premises, such as The Munsters, The Addams Family, Lost in Space, Star Trek, I Dream of Jeannie, and many more. This little green troll doll consisted of a regular Wishnik body, molded in green plastic, and a bespoke Frankenstein head, evocative of the popular TV character Herman Munster. It's hard to believe that this troll doll is almost 50 years old!
