Funko, the makers of Wacky Wobblers, has a new line of non-wobbling plastic figurines called Spastik Plastik. Several fun retro-riffic designs, but of interest to the likes of us is #6, "Dino", a cigar chompin', martini drinkin' fez wearin' Tiki guy in a maroon dinner jacket. As usual with stuff from Funko (another fine Washington state based company!) the detail is very good and Dino is just plain swell looking. On the back of the packages there's pics of fraternal order type things (Vegas, a swizzle, a bowling patch...) including an "Order Of Tiki Brotherhood" logo. Dino would be the perfect little mascott for some sorta Tiki based semi-quasi-members-only kind if thing...If that sorta thing existed. Which I'm not saying it does.

$10 or so. Probably available at an all-things-cool shop near you (or for much more on eBay).

Funko has another Tiki item coming out a little later this year. So set aside some allowance money now.
