Could you mean the Troll Fighter from Pathfinder 4: Fortress of the Stone Giants?
In any case, a troll champion is no match for my troll myrmidons.
A myrmidon quartet (EL 11) will often wait in a tightly packed 2x2 formation for melee opponents to come to them, attempting to trip them with their reach weapons as they close (possibly using the aid another action while they do so) before pouncing on them with fang and claw. Myrmidons only advance when they are ordered to, or when doing so is more strategically sound (such as to approach and nullify a troublesome spellcaster).
Should an enemy attack them, they use their Bodyguard feat to increase their ally's AC by +4 against the attack. Should the attack still land, the strongest troll in the group always opts to take the hit, allowing weaker trolls more time to regenerate. In this manner, they spread the damage out amongst them, granting the individual members of their group a much longer life span.
If necessary, a strong troll will also move to the front row of the formation, pushing a weaker troll to the back row with the Swap Places feat so that the latter can benefit from cover bonuses from its comrades while it regenerates (this helps to prevent enemies trying to focus attacks on a single troll). Due to their Escape Route feat, this does not provoke attacks of opportunity for either troll. Said weaker troll can also continue to contribute to the fight from the back row with its guisarme.
Ideally, a quartet of myrmidons will be fighting a single powerful foe, such as in an arena setting, or in an ambush after the party of heroes has been successfully divided by traps, the environment, or other enemy forces.
Are you sure the miniature is from the Pathfinder line, and not some other line, such as Dungeons and Dragons?
It isn't from any pathfinder bestiary. Shattered Star is an adventure path written by paizo. In one of the sections of that adventure path you have to fight that nasty troll. So he is sort of custom only to that adventure path.
Some creatures in the Pathfinder Battles pieces are from the bestiary but alot of them are custom made for their respective adventure path.
If it's from an adventure path, I'm surprised I didn't see it on PFSRD. They typically include such NPCs on their site.
Could it be in the Kingmaker books?
I would expect to find it in the Shattered Star books as it is in the Shattered Star mini set.

There are numerous trolls in books 3 and 5 of Shattered Star, and this mini can stand in for any or all of them, though the actual artwork that it's based on is the troll depicted on the cover of Pathfinder Tales: Song of the Serpent.

Yeah I've been critical of the brittleness and breaking of some of my Shattered Star miniatures, but I'll be damned if this troll champion ain't one heck of a miniature. I compared him to the troll from the first set...wow what a difference. This champ towers over them like Andrew the Giant over Barry Horowitz.
Anyone looking to buy singles from this set, this is an amazing piece to get (as are the elementals).

I bought my first boosters of Shattered Star last night. Sometimes I wonder how WizKids makes any money on these miniatures; the quality of the commons / uncommons is so good that I can scarcely tell them apart from the rares of the set anymore, which was certainly the opposite of Heroes and Monsters.
My first pack had a Large Water Elemental in it. My eyes got so wide they almost fell out of my face.
