I'm comparing mine and the one you've posted along with the three that are currently on ebay (search "trader vic") and I'd say mine's a repro and the one pictured above is vintage. The vintage one's have more detail and more color especially on the skin of the figures. Compare this one:

which looks like the one I have, with this one:

that I'd guess is the real deal.
