New bead find today

I went out bead shopping today and found this little guy at one of my local TB retailers. Has anyone else seen one like this? I am new to collecting and hear you all talk about the smiley face bead from way back so I couln't pass him by. What do you think?

I have never seen on like him. I love the lime green color. Are you in the States?

Very unusual and cute

This little Trollbead was hanging with the OOAK's. The salesperson said it was an OOAK bead... and to Capuchmooch, yes I am in Ohio, USA

I love his little orange mohawk!

What a lucky find--he's super cute.

He is quite a cutie! Great find!!

Katie are you near the WV border? Maybe we can meet up sometime. Have you ever been to Twisted Sisters in Marietta?

Looks like a Found a Bead that didn't turn out so it got some extra dots & tossed in the OOAK pile. Very nice little find.

I live in a suburb of Cleveland Ohio. I have never been to the TS's store but their website looks interesting. I mapquested the store from my house and it showed a 3 hour trip.

They are about 2 hours from me but worth the trip. My jeweler is a few doors down and there is a wonderful bakery next door also. LOL... I make a day out of it.
If you ever plan to go, let me know and I will meet you. They use to be the biggest dealer on our side of the world and have the best selections on beads.

He looks cute. I think Twisted Sisters is about 3 hours away from me too, but from the other direction! I've always wanted to go there!

Chewbacca, where are you located? I live between Huntington and Charleston WV.

When did the Honey Bud bead retire? I will add that to my list for you.

This bead is so cute. Great find.

Little guy has style.

very interesting and i imagine very unique!!!!

What a great find...looks like he has a flame coming out of his head!!

I think there are some ooak ones turning up, there was a similar one at my lds, though one face wasn't a smiley, more of a monster and it had extra green swirls. It is long sold before anyone asks

Yours is super cute, what a great find

Could this be one of the 'manga' limited edition beads? See: http://trollbeadsuniverse.com/global/en-us/museum/2006-2011/tbm250

If so, profits from the sale of this bead "went towards building a pre-school for underprivileged children in Sri Lanka." (same source)

Ow, wait it also says these were exclusively sold on a Japanese television program. Well, maybe somehow one got away and ended up in a shop in Ohio?

What a sweet bead!

Sweet bead and a great find! Love the green color.

A great find.

nice ooak.
