Here's the latest scoop on the Enchanted Tiki Room 3-D model. After a nearly sleepless night, I decided I had to try to order one. I called the Disneyana Shoppe on Main Street, and a very patient cast member named Linda answered my questions.

This is a "park exclusive" piece.
It's not a limited edition, but an "open edition", the numbers on the box refer to each piece of the first 300 the buyers ordered from the manufacturer. It's on a computerized replenishment system from their warehouse, so they've been getting in three, selling three, etc. They've been back in stock as quickly as two days.
They sell them at the Adventureland Bazaar, Disneyana Shoppe, World of Disney (the mega-store at Downtown Disney), and at Off The Page at California Adventure.
The best bet is to use Disneyland's mail-order service, "Disneyland Delivers," and they will call all the park stores for you to locate one, and then they'll put it on hold for you to pick it up, or ship it out. They do charge a small fortune to ship it, as you're limited to the choice of 4-day certified, and it's in a gi-normous box.

The woman on the Disneyland Delivers line said that this was the first of the "resin figurines" ("figurine" was the last word that I would have chosen!) that depicts an attraction, and that they don't know if other attractions will be created, however,"There's a lot of talk."

I had to indulge and order one, as my earliest tiki memories started in Adventureland. If Disney starts manfacturing Jungle Cruise pool accessories, then I'll need a second job! Can't you just imagine a"Congo Queen" boat floating in the bathtub?
