Not Yeti Friday - Treeson

According to its creator Hong Kong illustrator Bubi Au Yeung...

Treeson is a "kind creature and brought up by the trees in forest."



I can tell you the exact date of Treeson's birth (when Bubi Au Yeung conceived of the creature):

August 8th, 2005

Treeson started in an illustrated story, and soon starred in many more.




Treeson was released as a vinyl toy the next year and look at all the awards the figure won!

  • Format Magazine's Top 10 Designer Toys of 2006
  • toysrevil's top 6 vinyl toys of 2006
  • Plastic and Plush's Toy of the Year for 2006



    Bubi Au Yeung made neat cards.

    Treeson fandom is alive and well!:
