Description
This See-Mor Moon-A-TIK wild troll creature was created by Uneeda Doll Co Inc. in 1965 and was part of my childhood collection. This 13” plastic body with fluffy troll hair is in great shape but looks to be missing an eye. There is a crack on bottom of feet that seems to be a common issue with all references I could find.
There was a record out with the story featured as well.

The year 1964 marked a high point of the Troll craze in the United States, with over a million trolls sold under the Uneeda Wishniks brand. Uneeda was the sole distributor for the Dam Co in the US until 1966 another agreement with Skandia House skirted around using the Troll name. Uneeda Doll Company was founded in 1917 in Brooklyn, New York and continued to produce dolls until it’s demise in 1991. Uneeda was also known as the Tony Toy Company of Hong Kong, as some dolls are marked.

From paper ad 1965
“They’ve come up with another of their fabulously fantastic creations… this time a creature from another planet… See-Mor the first Moon-A-Tik to reach the earth. He’s weird, but lovable…with his big starring eyes, extra long legs and webbed feet, two horns and a mane of long hair. He’s just what the Scientist- Niks (moon-mad kids!) have been waiting for. Be a Smart-Nik-fill every inch of space with Moon-A-Tiks… they have away of disappearing!”
