Uncle Trav answered my next question before I had a chance to ask it, and that is:
"has anyone seen a black version of the mold used by some of Trader Dick's Striped Moai?"
These are different from the "Trader Dick's OMC Moai Tall" and are identical in form to the OMC MOAI short (bottoms may vary).

The Trader Dick's Striped Moai is not an OMC product. I know that it was made in China so it may be from Dynasty. It has a flat, slightly recessed - not concaved - bottom. It's thin and inferior when compared to an OMC Moai.

The medium Trader Dick's Moai is identified as an OMC product on OM but I believe this is incorrect. It's from the same mold as the Stiped Moai and posseses the same inferior qualities.

The small Trader Dick's Moai is an OMC product. It looks similar to the medium Moai but some obvious differences give it away. The "Trader Dick's" badging on the back is on a white, oval field (identical to that of the tall Moai) and it has a concaved base. It is essentially a small version of the tall Moai.

I shall call him... Mini-Moai. :)
