The Hukilau pendant is a replica of the Mai-Kai tiki that also served as the inspiration for the Munktiki mug. So other than the fact that City Buddha may have profited from it, I wouldn't feel too bad since it was done with the Mai-Kai's approval. http://www.thehukilau.com/08PreSell.htm That being said, City Buddha should defintely be boycotted and face all appropriate legal sanctions for its behavior.
