A group shot of the various TIKI-TOYS and the three sizes they will come in. Things being worked on: 1.) spinning mechanism. Idea is you spin your "Lucky Tiki" and it whirls around and stops on one side or the other side. One side is "Pono" ( good) The other side is "Lolo" (crazy ) - this will be the toy's fortune telling feature. You luck today is gonna' be good, or …ah, not so good. Unpredictable we shall say. 2.) Paint. Green teeth? I think that's not right. Perhaps it seemed a good idea at the factory? Changing that to gold or light wood color. Not sure I really like that overly bright yellow either. I 'm gonna try to keep to a wood / tan and brown pallet. 3.) Spinning Mechanism - the tiki spins in the wrong place! It should be then top of the stand and the tiki that spins. Well these things are all a part of getting anything manufactured. More on these little guys later. I hope to have them ready for the world by next July, 2016. When I have an art show at La Luz de Jesus Gallery in LA. I'm showing / selling production art and designs - all the way through the creation process to finished product. Plus, a few sets of hand painted Tikis by me! I always wanted to show Toys as Art, now I finally get to do so.

Aloha Tiki Tribe!
