This design is neither garishly colored, nor too far off from it's Polynesian forefathers, and the fact that it is plastic, and the Tiki concept is used for a silly utilitary item is exactly what makes it POP. Poly Pop Tiki IS cheesy...but GOOD cheesy. Un-Tiki is something that is too far away from its source, and shows no understanding of it. This is just as much Tiki as the plastic "Tiki Tote" cigarette box on page 241 of the BOT. As you state, it's fun.
