My my, it appears Moai Mama does not own Tiki Modern yet?
He is called "Boy Puppet"...while I prefer to refer to him as Witco's "Chuckie" . :)

Why Bigbrotiki, of course I own Tiki Modern, as well as the Book of Tiki :wink: and while normally I would feel quite naked without them for reference & research during my weekend treasure hunts~ I've been away from all things Tiki lately caring for an ailing parent.
I do appreciate the info here on the 'Tiki Lifeboat' while away from my own books and such, though! Thank goodness for laptops and hospital hotspot internet connection.
I must admit, it was quite a head rush to finally find a real piece of Witco while scanning over the usual Florida junque on a steamy Summer afternoon, taking a quick junque-fix @ an unfamiliar haven of 'stuff' between hospital runs. The gal selling her wares seemed to think I was an absolute NUT when I asked if she had any more of these?!
I hope you can relay more information about this little Chuckie Boy, if you wouldn't mind. Did he come painted this oddly? Does he have a gal friend or other family members? Is there a blue book value for such things, if one wasn't yet attached to her newly adopted little boy? Don't get me wrong... he IS cute and all, but after a long day of teaching 18 four-year-olds, I'd prefer coming home to a more exotic & grown-up Tiki themed environment.

P.S... Aha, I finally made it home and did indeed find my Boy Puppet on page 218. Cool! I guess some of that blue paint has just faded & someone added a magic marker smile on mine. Thanks, bigbro~ I do appreciate your knowledge AND your books ;->
