I can not subscribe to their line "Our quality designer resin, fully painted home or garden works of art are way more fun than being boiled in oil!", since to me the cover IS the visual equivalent of being boiled in oil.
The image of the Ibo-Odos by themselves here on this thread is scary, but on the website you can see the full cover with the type on it, it looks like some perverse joke on "Islands Magazine"

BTW, did you see the frightening "Surf's Up" surfin' monkey?

A real gem! In the catalogue, the text next to it says "Our artist has captured the bohemian spirit for your garden and home!"

Right. Whenever I think of "bohemian spirit", a surfing monkey comes right to mind!

In general, the text in the catalog is really priceless. Here is the copy for their c"Polynesian Warrior" Tiki Wall Sculpture:

"The art of Polynesian Pop is alive and well in this over-two-foot-tall wall sculpture that lends a warrior's cry and natural native instincts to your primitive decor. Heeding the call of the distant drummer, our island survivor was hand-carved, then expertly cast in designer resin for home and garden."

Other scary highlights:
Their "Moai Monoliths" look like they are wearing German WWII Steel Helmets, and, beware Bamboo Ben, the text for their "Thatch Roof Tiki Bar" begins:
:music: "We were truly amazed that this dead-ringer for bamboo and thatch was actually durable PVC..." :music:

Yup, me too. This IS 21st century Poly Pop.
