When did they start producing these?

Probably made last week or the week before. :lol:

I'll let Freddie give you some more information about the newer ones:

I ran into the owner of a trophy shop who buys new versions of Coco Joe's and HIP items to put on his trophies. He said that a guy in Sand Island (near La Mariana) makes these. I've bought a couple of tikis at the swap meet with HIP markings, but with CoCo Joe's paper labels. Some of the supposed hapawood items look like white plaster stained brown, kinda of crummy looking...the newer ones are also lighter in weight, not really lava like anymore. hoku

thanks Freddie! You wouldn't happen to have any photos of the new ones, would you?

The new generation of CCJ is cast with white/light resin and stained with a different color. It looks like they are slowly adding more new knockoffs and I thought they started reproducing the large King Kamehameha with your post. Thank goodness yours looks vintage.

Here is a sample of the new generation that is available at the Stadium FleaMarket.


In case you want to compare quality , the stall is on the outside row in 14-D.

Wow Freddie! you're amazing!

thanks for all the help and have a Happy Birthday!
Buzzy Out!
