Civilians, police, and news crews praised them as they stood perched above the Toy Ghost's leftover tricycle.

In 1997, Kylie Griffin and Eduardo Rivera spoke with George the Cooker under the overpass to try and get the Proton Pistol back but ran afoul of two criminals who just bought it. A group of Trolls chose the Brooklyn Bridge as their new nest. They replicated as they encountered more people and chased them away. The police attempted to handle the situation but were outclassed and forced to retreat. The Ghostbusters took charge and fused most of them back into one and trapped it.
