I scored this kool Ku statue. Not sure what he's made of. He's heavier than the Hapa or Lava statues. The logo on the bottom appears to be DCP. It also says Made In Hawaii. Any info on this guy, kids? That looks like it may have been a master used to create molds for CoCo Joe's or HIP pieces. You've had some amazing finds this week! About all I ever find around here are army's of Benihana mugs. The Typee book is beautiful! The Kahlua Hut mug is, what seems to be, a less common version with the name near the center (as opposed to the bottom) and without the long hair and beads. Regarding the CoCo Joe's piece; personally, I'd keep it wrapped.
