DeAgostini Announces U.S. Launch of Moominhouse Build Up Model

Moominhouse DeAgostini

DeAgostini, a premier European collectibles brand, adapts the magic, charm and inspired fun of the classic children’s books and comics, by the acclaimed Finnish Swede author/artist/creators and siblings, Tove and Lars Jansson, with the US launch of the Moominhouse subscription. Collectors are invited to celebrate the adventures of Moomintroll and his family and construct their signature Moominhouse and collect figurines of Moomintroll, Moominpappa and Moominmamma, Snufkin, Little My, and many more.

 

Build a charming model of the beloved Moominhouse – tall and round like a lighthouse with a steep roof and lots of rooms to explore. This is the home of the Moomins, some of the bestknown storybook characters in the world. Each month, subscribers can bring a different part of the house to life in an easy-to-build model that enables fans to recreate the magical home of the Moomin family. The licensing of this franchise was facilitated by Rights & Brands (R&B), a comprehensive licensing and publishing agency bringing Scandinavian rights and brands – within art, design, and literature – to a global arena.
