Hi, does anyone know what figure is this one? Apparently there isn't any trademark and it's hollow. No idea what year was made. It seems the right hand was holding something that is missing. Any info it would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Looks like BFG (Bif Friendly Giant) from the old animated movie.

Wow this has so many similarities with the remco aliens from late 70s/early 80s. The doll eyes, soft hallow rubber with a plug on the bottom and the size looks pretty close too. Though a quick search of "remco troll" didn't get me anywhere.

Apparently this is a very common depiction of a Norwegian Troll.
Not that it really helps to ID this toy, but just Google up some pics of the trees carved to look like these guys!

No idea, just that the sculpt itself looks very similar in style to the Ny Form Trolls. The artist that sculpted them could have done the original model for that one.

Contact em and see if they might be able to assist?

 

Another Norwegian artist, Bjorn Schulze, has started sculpting that line more recently. Could also be an offshoot project of his since it's so similar.

Looks like the USSR made rubber figures I see on ebay often.
