The few Tikis in it were were exactly these odd looking fiberglass casts and painted in those god-awfull colors, and the lamps were kind of bulky, all in all representing 1980s "Tiki Devolution" to me. There was no love left in what Orchids had to offer by then. [ Edited by: bigbrotiki on 2004-03-19 15:03 ]
