I lifted Cookolossu (my biggest) by myself using a similar method to Chiki's by rolling the tiki onto a large pipe. Roll the tiki until the pipe is under the middle, then lever (see-saw)the tiki to one side and add still larger pipes or logs underneath, until you get about a foot or two of leverage. That last heave-ho is the biggest and will take all the strenghth you can muster, literally. I eventually got him standing. Aside from the fact that my balls now drag 12 feet behind me when I walk, I came out fine.
