I'm considering buying this 3.5' tall mask. It cracks me up.




All I know: the seller says the parents of an ex-roommate traveled and gave it to their son when he lived in California. Now this fellow owns it and wants to sell it. I don't even know the year.

I love how it's a mix of Disney/Ralph Steadman with PNG/"South Pacific" stage prop.

Anybody have any insight? Jump on it? Or am I hypnotized by the Steadman eyes and should run away very fast? I don't ordinarily let other people's opinions determine whether I should buy something that pleases me, but
1.) It's BIG and
2.) I'm trying to save money for a trip to Rapa Nui this summer. This will probably cost me around $175. Maybe not much $ for you, but I'm a very shrewd (read: cheap) buyer of my tiki!
