Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room Collections - Collecting Tiki

This is my first post and I hope I am doing it properly! These pieces ( I have several) came from WED enterprises and were either prototypes or replacement casts for the then new Enchanted Tiki room. My father was a long time Disney exec and eventually rose to run the consumer products division. He was friendly with John Hench and these were probably a gift from him. In any case, they have been in my family for fifty years. I used to play TIki Room under the dining room table with these little guys. They are in great shape and the only thing added over the years is the dust! Any additional info would be appreciated, has anyone seen other pieces like these? Each has an embedded WED Enterprises copyright plate with the date. I have included a close up of it.
