Trollbeads Armadillos have been a collector favorite for decades and the more elaborate the design and colors, the more popular they tend to be. Over the years we've one shade Dillos, two shade Dillos, three shade Dillos, decorated beads and very limited edition examples and still they're so fiercly sought after.

The Trollbeads Armadillo Collection as the name suggests, is dedictaed to this much loved design. All of the beads in this release are limited editions and I suspect demand is going to be high. The collection features six glass beads, available either as a complete kit or individually. The complete kit is called the Trollbeads Armadillo Paradise Kit and will retail at $300 so it's worth noting that as is common with limited edition sets, there's no kit discount.

This puts the indivudal beads retailing at just $50 each which will be a welcome surprise to many. The single beads in this kit in order of their appearance below are as follows; the Trollbeads Sunshine Flower Armadillo, Trollbeads Ivory Flower Armadillo, Trollbeads Blue Sky Armadillo, Trollbeads Serenity Shades Armadillo, Trollbeads Pale Rose Armadillo and the Trollbeads Light Pastel Armadillo.

It's such a mix of colors and yet as a kit, it seems to work.

Finally completing the collection is the Trollbeads Armadillo which is set to retail at $61 so it should be a decent size.

A bracelet featuring a full kit of the glass punctuated by this new silver bead could be so much fun, though admittedly most of these glass I'd be wanting pairs of.

Over the past few years Armadillos have primarily appeared as special event stock so seeing them appear in the collection is going to be such good news for many people. That said although we're only four weeks away from the launch, it's going to feel a very long few weeks for fans of this iconic Trollbeads glass design.
