Tiki Central / General Tiki / Are these from the Trader Vic's warehouse sale?

They do however look like they are from the same importer/Balinese carving shop that all the nouveaux Vic's Tikis come from. That Maori one is clearly based on the classic Trader Vic's logo Tiki, who's origin was traced back to the S.F. DeYoung Museum in these pages not too long ago. It is unlikely that any other Asian carver would use that Tiki as a template.
