The only pinballs I've seen with TRUE tiki in it are Gilligan's Island (already mentioned) and Ripley's Believe It or Not. The Ripley machine was released a year or two ago (designed by Pat Lawlor...same guy who did Funhouse, Adams Family, Twilight Zone....he's a pinball genius) and features a ton of stuff us tiki freaks might find appealing.

You actually collect tiki IDOLS as part of the game play, and theres a shrunken head toy ON the playfield (as well as one on the back-glass). When you collect Tiki's they appear on the dot matrix screen, and will chatter at you tauntingly.

Just played the hell out of this machine over the weekend (and almost bought it...went for Attack From Mars instead...running out of room, need to choose pinballs wisely!)

Here's some pics...

If you can hunt one down, Play it!!!
