Nevertheless, these ARE an example of Tiki Revival Devolution (to be differentiated from the earlier, 1970s, 'Tiki Devolution'), Asian import style. From the upcoming 'Tiki Modern and the Wild World of Witco', page 284: "Though modern Tiki style is an ersatz tongue-in-cheek phenomenon that is all about un-authenticity, not just any face with a toothy grin and zig zag lines on it deserves to be called a Tiki."
