I like that you can appreciate the kitsch and oddity to it . I believe these were offered mail order ads inside magazines and hobbiest stores .Just for kicks, it would be fun to see someone like Bosko or Danny G carve one of these suckers ! http://blog.humuhumu.com/2008/06/16/carve-a-tiki-kit Very good thought, I do remember seeing ads in old magazines for mail order kits that was a monthly item. Sorta like the model building mail-order of the 70"s that I did. never knew what small kit was showing up but you always looked at the 3ft Apollo rocket they showed in the ad that you never got!
