those are re-pop tikis, not very old maybe 10 years at the most. I forget which company made them but I know I have seen them before. Yours have been painted black but they weren't originally that color. I'll try to dig around and find that store or website for you. |

From my experience, 90% of the time the "came from an old restaurant" line is just a line, unfortunately. |

Thanks for that, good news we didn't pay alot for them, but was just curious as to where they came from, thought it was abit bizarre that we managed to get 3 of them on our trip! |

These two are currently for sale on craigslist in our area. These were avaiable at Target about 3 or 4 years ago... Later, PTD |

I want to say they were from target. They made a decent fiberglass ku figure one year then made these the next. I'm not certain they are target though - anyone else ?? |

That's interesting, obviously from being out of town we wouldn't have seen them at Target unfortunately, but we like them, but was just fasinated! Thanks for all of the info though, very quick and helpful. |

I have the same ones shown. Plus the Disney looking Pele. I re-sprayed them brown & set them in the fake garden. |

I got mine at Target, painted it and drilled a hole in it for a fountain. |
