Swanky, I just watched your preview video on Youtube and saw this image:

It got me very excited. Early renderings show an Easter Island looking tiki on the left side of the property, to the right of the big Barney West that's still there today:

Presumably West carved this one as well but it disappeared somewhat early on without explanation. I've only once seen photographic evidence of it actually existing, which was posted on another Mai Kai thread here a while back:

But are those the same tiki? The features are very similar but the one from the video appears to be taller and narrower like the rendering underneath it whereas the one with the two girls looks to be more elongated in the chin, kinda like this rendering:

Maybe it's just the camera angle? I'm so confused! But must know the deal and hope you could shed some light, please and thank you!
