Wholesale taking one design and copying it should be avoided (though it happens often). A reasonable alternative might be to looks at a bunch of tiki and choose the elements you like (hair, eyes, mouth, teeth, embellishments) and work with the carve to create a new design. Along with skirting IP issues, the result will likely be something more meaningful to you.
