Apropos the Trolls in the previous post, reminded me these have been in Picasa since '21, sent to the Blog by Peter Evans in one of his many donations, it's an ephemeral capsule toy, troll thing, not the new trolls, but not the old ones either, sort of . . . intermediate trolls!
Certainly closer to the old ones in shape, they have the various coloured bodies of the new ones, but themed around popular musical genres! From the Hong Kong/Canadian WowWee, and obviously serving a secondary purpose of pencil-top, I think they are just called Elektrokideez?
Although the folder was titled Rock Trolls, I may have made that up in a hurry to name the folder . . . I hate naming folders, especially when uploading images, I tend to just run my finger across the keyboard, so I have lots of folders in Picasa starting asdfgh . . . or qwertyu . . . or even, being daring - mnbvcx . . . !
Packaging gives you a better idea than my blurb ever could! They may or may not have been common in shopping-centre dispensers a few years ago, or even now, but will clearly turn-up in mixed lots for years to come, and presumably - they are commoner in Canada?
