Also, there's actually a nice Ku in the middle of this photo:

Is it's head on a spring? Like a giant bobble head? That's hands down your closest authentic tiki.
Do you have it without the bobble? If you do, I might be interested. Or maybe even if the spring can be removed, I could re-attach it. What's shipping on these run like? The one two to the left is pretty nice too.

Oh, and in case you're wondering about the hostility, although it's not a rule, it's frowned upon when new members don't want to be part of the TC community, don't introduce themselves in the proper thread, and come on here only to sell wares. Plus, Asian countries have been ripping off the style of the recently late Wayne Coombs for years, which is also not welcome among the diehard tiki enthusiasts. Not to mention the dilution/bastardization of Oceanic tiki with African masks. Bali and Indonesia are the worst offenders.

That being said, I've seen similar style tikis being sold at some recent big tiki events, that shall go unnamed.
