There is a new player in Tikiville!... and his name is FRED!

Remember that scene in Close Encounters of the Third Kind where Richard Dreyfuss was obsessed with making a model of some mountain called The Devil's Tower? Remember the mashed potatoes? Well, that’s kind of what it was like for me when I started this whole Fred thing! I sculpted him last year out of clay... and after enough of my friends asked me to make an extra one for them, I decided to jump in with both feet. I still wake up some mornings and ask myself, “What the hell were you thinking?”... but for whatever reason, ever since then I have been totally obsessed with creating Fred and then getting him out there for everyone to enjoy!

He's 28" tall, is made of HD Polyethylene with a stone texture and weighs 3 lbs. Color: Warm Stone Gray. Made in the USA. He only costs $59.95 and can be shipped anywhere in the Continental US for $15. And just for the Holidays, if you buy Fred off ebay, the shipping is FREE!

Simply go to eBay and type in: Fred the Aku

Fred's own website http://www.fredtheaku.com

... or send me an email at [email protected]

To keep Fred from blowing away he can be filled with water or sand through a plugged hole in his back.

Great for Tiki Bars, Pools, Hot Tubs, Gardens, Patios... Indoors or out!

For kicks... if you still haven't seen enough, you can go directly to YouTube and watch a short video of Fred being made:

Mahalo and Merry Christmas, Bill
