Thanks again all!! for coming out.. i got a little long winded with stories like this. Hulas where my first semi-'mass-production'... Along with tikis and tiki mugs, they didn't exist in stores ten years ago either. I was asked to make a few re-pros that sold for $60 each. The 'real' stuff was only found in Midwest garage sales or at CA swap-meets for $50-250. I couldn't make them fast enough at $60 each... Hulas where featured on a few national Ad TV spots and became a pre-Bobble head crazy for a year or two... 10 years later you can finally buy a 'pretty' or nice looking hula nodder for $8-10 in any store in the US... I sell very-very few of my $30 'hand painted & assembled' production model these days. here are some archival web pages. [ Edited by: crazy al 2006-10-22 09:24 ] |
