Because it is based on the Barney West Moai from the Mai Kai. Barney's Moais had a recognizable style, (see BOT p.???) and he also provided the Tikis for the Tiki Kai. If you look at the giant (Trader Vic's logo style) New Guinea statue at his Tiki Junction (in the last BOT chapter), that's the one that ended up by the Tiki Kai sign. Haha, BK, you beat me to it by a second! (It's 8:00 am here in Bavaria, my call time is not before 10:00, and IT'S SNOWING...) ...sorry, I certainly do not want to detract from this great post by my good friends, seasoned Tiki archeologists all, but I could not resist to send this little culture shock image of "from where I am coming from" (...not from Tiki Island, these days).
