Once in a while I come across a toy that stops me in my tracks and
catches my curiosity. At Taipei Toy Festival such a toy came "running"
by, his name is Treeson. Although, we have previously covered Treeson , I had not yet seen one in person. At first glance, I
didn’t know what to make of it. Here is a creature standing at 5" tall with a stick protruding out of its chest. Not to mention a simple
smiling face surrounded by its white thorny surface. Then, I picked it
up, and was pleasantly surprised. Treeson is one solid toy. Its hard
and bumpy texture makes it comforting to touch, sort of a therapeutic
treatment. Maybe he was intended to create that soothing feeling.
Created by Bubi Au Yeung and sculptured and produced by Wookie of Crazy Label,
Treeson may be cuddly and lovable, but beyond its cutish appearance,
lies a self-discovery journey. Wanna find out more, check out Wookieweb’s
site. In the mean time, if you want one, this is your chance. You can
win a Treeson from VP. Here’s the details of the contest:

i like him, cause he looks like a squishy little boom boom hugger baby.
I wouldn’t be that happy with a branch sticking in me…
Nice. ^_^
I need something with a stick sticking out of it, so this would be ideal for me, I think or something…..
Love that thing!
Mmm … soothing.
Icing sugar on a stick. Hmmm … good!
The design execution is perfect!
makes me think of the priest in dead alive with the white furr and impalement and what not.
Seems like if you were to take out the stick it’d make a sad face… I guess it can’t be that bad, then!
nice figure…:)
ghost of a porcupine
I saw this adorable creature at Comic Con last weekend. It was one of my top favorite pieces at the convention… but alas it was only a prototype. 🙁
Maybe this was fate to find him showing up here and needing a proper home. He would find a comfy place within my dwelling if I were win (fingers tightly crossed for luck).
haha really creative.
Love the texture. I’ve been waiting for him to be released.
Excellent, I want one!
ahh!! it’s like a handicapped Frosty!! me likey… >=)

treeson’s story is so significant to my life of late. being heart broken by deaths and funerals of closed friends lately that is. i too have a stick in my heart now. a stick that resembles memories of those who had passed. a stick that is too painful to hold on.. even more painful to pull it out… how i wish treeson is for real and give me a mended broken heart too right now :/

Bubi Au Yeung’s Treeson stories are sweet and touching. Great toy!
He looks like an albino durian. I love it!
Treesooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon
These things are brilliant.
If only i had a stick coming out of my chest then i wouldn’t be teased by the other kids at school…
An under rated figure that speaks volumes. Cute figure that is very photogenic and appears in so many amazing pictures. Keep up the good work Bubi Au Yeung.

Swt figure – good to see some ladies making cool toys : ]

Cheers to Bubi !

I wish I had a stick coming outta my chest…
oooo, i want to be friends with treeson! he’s a sweetie.
Reminds me of breadfruit. A white breadfruit with a face on it, but breadfruit nonetheless. Kinda cool.
Might as well
Treeson? More like Cloudson.
ladidadidaaaAaA
i want ,i want it now
I’d love to plant a Treeson next to my Atomic Bonzai. No telling what would result from cross-pollination.
Really truthfull to the grand history of designertoys.
This toy has an obvious eastern and western heritage that appeals to me and probably to many more.
I would like to see more of this designer!
It would be great if I won one because it will be very difficult to find it here in Belgium.
Best regards,
Must complete/begin my collection of toys with tree limbs sticking out of them… good luck all!
we would cuddle in the day
spoko maroko
I bet you its saying, “There’s an old man stuck in here *giggles* and his walking stick is tickling me.” LOL!!!
its great
wow, great fig. the twig adds a nice balance… and what an aesthetically pleasing face ! n_n
qwertyuiop: why mrstone? i think it’s sin you meant the one should win hands down if it wasn’t picked randomly? 🙂
touching story there ‘sin’.
but i do wanna win too 😛 gimme! gimme!
I want one.
that would make an awesome addition to the growing army of misfit toys i have lying around.
No witty comments just begging, pleading & sobbing …. I’m about to scarifice a playpeople chicken to the gods of plastic. Bad juju it may be but needs must *wink*
I have the strange urge to roll him between my feet…I’m sure it’s very therapeutic.
Yeah, Treeson rules… ^^
big in japan
im down
been waiting for Treeson for a while. Now that he’s out I’m broke. Hope I win him. <3
Nice!
I want the cute marshmellowie monster tree!

wooo i want a treeson
it’s like a non smelling durian..:D
Looks like someone just as curious as me threw a stick at it!
Hey Treeson!!! Is that a twig in your side or you just glad to see me?
Hi treeson,
If you come and live with me,
I will love you as if you were my own son.
So cute and adorable! I Love it! PICK ME!^_^
De poca madre, yo quiero!!!!
this rocks!
Ha, I love it, what a great addition to my vinyl addiction.
This would complete me.
“Got Wood”?
so darn cute !
i want it only by devotion. indeed, this is not for me but for the trees, the squirrels and the birds living in the wood near my house. please give them the toy they’d dream about if they’re able to dream…
it’d be perfectly contrastive to the roundings of my white ballchair with its spikey look…I swear…well, after I’ve pulled out that stinging branch from its side…poor thing *sighs and looks at her empty ballchair*
OMG SO CUTE!!!!! ^o^
:D!!
