Can someone please tell me who the maufacturer for this treeman is, or at least what this seller is saying in english?

the "treeman" is only about 40mm tall, thats pretty short for a bbowl-treeman. i have a similar mini at home, it's from the same manufacturer, but mine is sort of a "mutated-chaos-tree-man" with 3 arms & a club in one hand... it's been a couple of years since i've bought it, so i forgot the name of the company in question.

but it's not really usable as a treeman, in real life it looks a lot smaller than an ogre, it's about black orc size- you could use it as a dryad, though, if you play some experimental team or something.
(and the seller is just bragging about how cool he is, and that you should take a look at his other auctions , "in order to save on mailing costs"... you didn't miss much

)

Smaller is better on the pitch. He sounds good if he's as small as you say. Too bad it's the ugliest mini I think I've ever seen.

Addressing the replies in order: I looked thru old posts/topics for treeman and couldn't find any for this guy. If someone knows it mabey I could be directed to it.

The size won't be too important as I'm mostly looking at converting with that "ugly" face and hands. Thanks for your info though, Bo.

And lastly, Ya it's ugly! 2 things came to mind when I saw it. One is the berserk Ents, I can't remember what treebeard called them, but they were mental. Two is the Wendigo from Pet Cemetary (book not movie). The spirit in the woods that if it touched you would make you go cannibal!
It was he who turned the cemetary ground "sour".

Seems a little pricey for a model approx. the same size as a black orc... shame.
