You're probably wondering what kind of guy responds to his own post, but I have a quick update: I've been sitting home, waiting for the mail (my carrier has an unfortunate tendency to hurl my packages over my gate and into my rock garden!) and it's just like Christmas now with five Ebay parcels surrounding me, all Tiki related Ebay stuff. The first thing I opened was a Coco Joes Hawaiian dancer figure #059 1990, and the bend in the figure was obvious before I even got it out of the bubble wrap! Today was really hot here, so hot that I wonder if these figures were simply laid on their backs in the sun, say on a Pyrex plate, perhaps after a few hours they might settle back into their original or intended shape. I think I will try that tomorrow and if it works I will post the results here. OK Chuck
