Also nice to see some of the unusual ones that other people have, like Sabina's one with the dingaling. Here's some pics of some of the more unusual ones I've got, or just some of my favorites. First some hula stuff... These two are unusual, and I think the one on the left is one of the only ones I've seen where they give her a little nipple. Auwee! The two on the left aren't so rare, but they're some of my favorites, even though I don't normally go for "the guys." The two on the right are unmarked - never figured out who made them. Here's a bunch of different materials - some white resin, "olivine","alii gold", sand, and who-knows-what. That sand one looks like a rarotonga tiki in Battlestar Galactica clothes. Similar styles, different makers. Far left is the heaviest one I've ever come across. More big and small. Old CocoJoes on the left, new made-in-China Chiefly on the right. Check out these tikis made by HIP. Then look at this next picture... This is from a Hawaiian photo book. The picture is captioned as being outside a gift shop in Waiahole, Oahu. Judging from these tikis, maybe it was a HIP gift shop??? Judging from the kid's attire, probably early 80s? Some more various unusual tikis... Guy in the middle has a little dingdong - that's the God of Money, and not too rare. No idea who made the one on the far right. Some tall tall tikis. Far right is an odd one - it's CocoJoes, but it clinks like ceramic, and it's chipped like ceramic too. The prize for weirdest off-brand tiki. Linguini arms, uneven boobs, and bowlegged like a cowboy. Lastly, check out this postcard. It was on ebay and I didn't win it, but saved the image. Wouldn't THAT have been fun to see! -Randy [ Edited by: aquarj on 2004-01-18 19:33 ]
