The two on the top could be old...or they are made from an old mold, from Hawaii. Definitely vintage. These and the others in that series are never cheap. Can't say anything about the white one for sure, he is nicely executed...maybe too nicely, with its body builder torso. Not my personal taste. |

The top two look good and seem to be vintage. Nice pieces. The body builder Ku looks new but don't know for sure. Never seen one with that 'build' before. |

I would say that Tiki Loa made these as you can just make out what looks to be a copyright C within a circle on the base and that WANMI PUKIKI NONO and WANE INAINA are the names of the pieces. So, anyone know "Tiki Loa"?? |
