September 2003 - STRANGEco is pleased to introduce Mini Treehouse, a new PVC mini figure series by Australian artist Nathan Jurevicius. Like bugs or birds around your own house, the Mini Treehouse figures are the microcosmos of Nathan's popular Scary Girl world � featuring 12 distinct characters (and one secret one). STRANGEco is the premier US distributor for Mini Treehouse, and has developed an in-depth online media feature to support this well-designed series.

Produced by Hong Kong-based Flying Cat, Mini Treehouse is the latest figure export from Hong Kong's burgeoning Designer Toy movement. The 12 original Mini Treehouse figures have their own back stories and personalities. Each figure is packaged in a blind box assortment and comes with accessories that transform it into an alter-ego form. Series 1 features two rare "chase" figures � Naal the mushroom patch guard and Scary Girl in painter's attire.

STRANGEco has created a special online feature for its website (http://www.strangeco.com), which includes high quality photographs, exclusive character biographies and a list of preferred retailers. The feature also includes exclusive Mini Treehouse comics, published weekly and featuring all of the new characters. For details, visit http://www.strangeco.com/Features/Minitreehouse.html.
