Just like mugs, fresh Tikis for the shop shelf, Voila! NOW someone has to find one of those original castings! :) It would be interesting to see how they treated them. It seems they did quite a thorough job with aging them to make them look authentic. For example, it looks like they put "dust" in the creases and folds of these statues. And the question still remains: WHO carved the master carvings (from the book) that the molds were made from?
