Sven,

If you have the time, would you do me the great favor of glancing at the tikis offered on this site: http://www.tropicaltikis.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=22, and telling me your impressions of them?

I know they're carved in Indonesia, but the designs look solidly American (modern) in origin. Are they Poly-Asian, or does the designer (if not the actual carver in Indonesia) seem to have had firsthand reference to at least the modern interpretation of Poly Pop?

To your experienced eye, are these good or not so good? I ask mainly because, as you might have guessed by this juncture, I've purchased one, and -- now that it's far too late -- want to know if a better-versed tikiphile would furl his brow, gnash his teeth, or nod in assent at them.

If you'd like to plead the fifth so as not to offend a local purveyor, that will make perfect sense to me and I won't pursue further.

Cheers.
