Hi I"m new to the whole collecting of tiki's thing so pardon me if this seems stupid, but.....

When i was about twelve years old, back in the late 70's we went to hawaii for the first time and I collected all these very inexpensive "resin" black and brown tiki's from all over the island. I've since discovered that they were tossed out by my parents shortly after i left for college.

I know they wern't traditionally made or "high quality" pieces but there were sort of sentimental to me and i have been trying to locate replacements for some time now. I have seen some similar items on E-bey and some tiki sights labeled as "co co joe tikis" or "hip" or "Hawaiian Islands Products tikis". However I can't find any info or website about these tinks.

Ive seen some pictures on websights which refer to them a cheap, knock offs, ect...

Does anyone know what's up with these companies, where i can find info on them and any available products or similar ones. Thanks.
