Love those Home Depot planter pots! They're kind of like giant Tiki mugs! I may have to check them out in person...

Though it's not really a retail Tiki store find, I DID just purchase this 20" coco palm carved warrior Tiki

from http://www.bambooandtikis.com.

I kind of used him as the design inspiration for my web site so actually having the lil guy as an objet d'art in my personal Tiki collection will be nice.

Well, my Warrior Tiki arrived today...looking quite different compared to the catalog page image previously posted above.

Still not a bad Tiki, but not quite what I was expecting...especially for the price I paid to ship all 20 lbs of it from San Diego! I have since e-mailed BambooandTikis.com to figure out why this product was falsely depicted on their web site.
Peace,
Peter

PS...Actually, looking at both images side by side, I get angry and I rather kind of hate the sub-par Tiki I wound up with.:x Bah! He may make a good plant stand though.
