GREAT info, thanks, Tumatauenga! I did not know about Richter Artcraft! I made this sarcastic post about a Richter Tiki that I bought from ATP at the ITMP a while ago:

I also found these thin plastic vacu-form Tikis on e-bay recently that I bet are Richter:

They follow the same principle of propping the head of one Tiki on another's body (!), (in order to not be straight rip-offs?), resulting in totally odd "Frankenstein" Tikis :):

While on the above on the left we have Disney's Hina head with quite an unfitting body, on the right we have the famous authentic Tahitian Tangaroa BODY with a generic Tiki Pop head!:

Here's the INSIDE of one (giving that weird inside/out 3D "Jesus miracle eyes" effect):

They have no markings on them anywhere, but the odd design makes them likely to be Richters, I would say.
