This is the knock off tiki:

To compare, here's the pic of the Design Toscano tiki that ZebraTiki posted in another thread:

The DT tiki is nicer and more true to the Disney design. The OTP tiki has the top configured to host a potted plant and just doesn't look quite as "happy" as the DT tiki.

This was labeled as a "tiki head planter:"

It was only $7.99. There was another but it looked even less tiki to me so I didn't get it. Here it is dressed up with some fake plant stuff:

Kind of looks like it would fit in with the other idols on the "Ritual of the Savage" LP cover.

How could I pass up a crab bottle holder?? For only $4?

They had tons of the glass floats that they have had for quite a while.

When I purchased the big tiki I was hoping it was the Design Toscano one but I started thinking, even there in the store, that maybe it's a knock off and that's why Wal Mart wouldn't sell them in the US. I got home and got online and confirmed it that it is a knock off. Then I saw that the one Wal Mart sold in Canada is the other (smaller) DT tiki (or knock off)!

For $30 it's cool. Some of you may not be willing to purchase a knock off but it's out there for those who are. I may still get a Toscano one and then this guy will move outside.
