Here is a replica of the Brady Bunch bad luck tiki necklace from the famous Brady Bunch 3 part Hawaii episode. This solid resin tiki is cast, antiqued and inserted with a leather strap. Measuring 3 1/4" tall x 1 3/4” This is a reproduction cast off the same tiki as used by the prop department in the 1972 episode and painted to match the original prop.

If interested, send $20 to lithiumbrain@gmail.com at Paypal. Shipping in the U.S. is $5 Shipping overseas is $10 If you have any questions, feel free to email us.

Thanks.

WARNING ! ! !

This Tiki STILL REALLY DOES bring bad luck.

Listen to Mr Hanalei - TABOO !

I wore it at the last Tikiyaki gig and my pedalboard died.

Doodle-oodle-oooh.

Hmmm...Tiki Talk has a post up on this, with the original creator of the necklace. You'll notice the e-mail address is different from the seller on this thread. Draw your own conclusions...

Jim, please tell me you're not serious! Maybe he caused the economy slump too? And black lava taken from the islands will cause WW III !
NO Tiki, if worn out of love and appreciation for Tiki and its many forms, will cause bad luck.

That is the same ***hole that bought my first tiki from my company SSN and is claiming we recast "his sculpture". I still have the original baked sculpey clay sculpture to prove it. The only difference is he paints them in grey tones. I think that guy needs to check himself...Thanks for posting that

Just to play Devil's Advocate — can you actually prove that he recasted your sculpture?

Back on an earlier thread about this topic http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=9541&forum=5&start=15 it's stated by several members that resin casts of similar idols have been floating around for years.

I don't know this dude personally, I just found him selling the stuff on Craigslist and reprinted his tales of woe. He's got something like 6 of them left and said he's going to stop selling them because of the hassle he's gotten. If that's the case and you're one of the hasslers, rest assured you've done your job; and rightfully so if the work is yours.

The current version of your idol looks a lot different from your old one -- the detail is much better:

Are you still affiliated with Silver Shampain Novelties? They're still selling the brown one apparently.

All and all, your new one is really nice work! I'd be happy to promote it on Tiki Talk as well.

I think that the price of $25 is an abomination. I think this tiki necklace should atleast be 15 or 20 dollars

Old Buddy love lava talk Brady Rip Off thread explained, for our newer TC users

I just decided to follow through with my plan to make my own version of the CocoJoesBrady Bunch idol and sell it for $5.99.

If anyone wants to get on my preorder "list", just post your name on this thread and I'll contact you when they are done.

Thank you for your support!

Kamaina Kraig posted on 04/30/2009

I'll take one too....:)

But I do have a serious question. After reading the posts...the old threads....the threads they sent me too....the posts on other sites dealing with it....I now have a question.

Upstate NY is difficult place to find carvers selling tikis. Not that there aren't carvers, but they generally make eagles, bears, etc. I contacted one of them and asked him if he could do tiki's and sent him a picture of a carving I found on TC. He said sure....he could do it. Not that I want him to copy that one, but if I found one I liked and asked him to copy it would that infringe on the original carvers idea? I really like the Hawaiian tiki's I've seen with the headdress that goes down the back. Also the Maoi style. If I showed the carver a picture of someone's else's work and asked him to copy it what does anyone think??

Thank you,

KK

Thanks for all your orders!

I got the molds made and finished on Thursday night. They came out just fine. On Friday morning I went to get the resin, however, the place where I get it went out of business since the last time I got some.
Was that the Brady Curse?
I thought it was the curse initially, but I was then informed that a brand new company was opening in San Diego on Monday, and that they would be stocking the stuff I needed. Even better, the new place is less than three miles from home sweet home.
I plan on being there first thing for the Grand Opening on Monday morning(free Tshirts to the first 100 customers!)to get the stuff for this.
So, the pieces will be poured on Monday and will be ready for shipping soon after that.

Anyone else want to be on the list? There hasn't been a good TC list in a while.

Cocojoesbrady Ripoff idols coming soon!
Buzzy Out!

To end all debates...here is the first version of the tiki I did that was sold on SSN (and later ripped off on Ebay and Tiki Talk) in it's natural Sculpey clay form after it was baked and molded. Front and back. The back shows the clay build up and the glue from attaching it to a piece of foam core prior to molding. End of story :)
