Just picked these up on ebay, these are the tall vintage real deal easter island moai .

those are the repops, not vintage i believe.....the vintage ones look like and are the same size as the black moai tiki mug you usually see from the fireside in wisconsin....these in the picture above look less defined, shorter and more blobby lookin....i posted a set of the vintage ones i found in tiki finds thread a few weeks back....

the picture that is posted at the beginning of this thread is of the classic real vintage moai lights..

also, you can always tell by the colors...red, green, white and yellow were the old tiki string lights...turquoise blue was never used in these till the re pops came out in the late nineties...
