Tiki Finds - Collecting Tiki

Ooga-Mooga says it's a Buddha, but I think it looks more like Daruma (Dharma or Bodhidharma). OMC black moai that I found at an antique store in Camrose for $6. Two more Polynesian Pub mugs. Coco Joe's statue. Skeleton figure that isn't specifically Tiki, but has a certain cartoonish quality that I couldn't resist. I think it works. I've come to the conclusion that Alberta is almost a hotbed for touristy fare like Coco Joe's, mugs, monkeypod, etc. But I'm starting to feel bad for always beating Sweet Daddy T or occasionally Slacks Ferret to the good stuff :wink: What do you do about an exuberant newbie with too much time and too little restraint?
