Was just looking at the Kon Tiki Cleveland thread. My new cannibal looks Really similar to those in the pics posted by Dusty. I was originally thinking it looked like the Harbor Hut Morro Bay ones, but the Kon Tiki one is even more similar.. |

Erich- I thought the same thing when I saw your cannibal. Those were carved by a Hispanic (I think) carver, his name escapes me but it is on these threads somewhere. He typically signed those cannibals & I know he did them in at least a few sizes, as I have seen very small post ones pop up. I narrowly missed purchasing a little one last year. |

Thanks. Its obvious from the details that its not the same one, but I'd be willing to bet it was the same carver.. |

It wasn't just the Kon Tiki in Cleveland that used those cannibals. They were also used at the Kon Tiki in Portland. When it closed they were sold to The Jasmine Tree, then Thatch, and now they are at home in Hale Pele. |

It never dawned on me that the Tiki & Terrors mug by Squid is completely cannibal influenced. Very cool. |

After coveting that tiki in Long Beach for over a year my girlfriend surprised me with it for Christmas. It's safe indoors in San Luis Obispo now. Thinking about commisioning the other two cannibals at some point for my home bar basing their appearance on the style of this guy. Also, I now have the purple Gainey planter base that he was using as a pedestal in case anyone is looking for one.

I got the this big 15" Cannibal from eBay a couple years back. The seller stated that her aunt got in on a South Pacific cruise in the 1950s or so. It looks like a brother of the Tahitian tourist Cannibal at Oceanic Arts. He's such a cool piece. |

Scored this cannibal lamp yesterday at an antique store in Nashville (cat for scale): (one of the "baby's" arms is missing) And here it is with another cannibal I found a few years ago at a flea market: |

I was inspired by this thread. Just a quick, disposable foam cannibal about 12 inches tall. When the head of the "victim" is shot with a Nerf blowgun, a secret compartment opens to reveal a clue. Will be part of a Tiki treasure hunt of the grandsons this Spring, will post pics when it happens :D

Sourced this pair of Cannibal Eater S&P shakers from a lovely lady in Tucson. Similar to the pair from the collection of Ooga-Mooga member Kingstiedye. This pair is signed on the back, so maybe homemade from an old Duncan ceramic mold? |

Hello! This is my contribution. I am quite sure he has a story, but, so far, he is not talking. Picked him up years ago, in a long- gone collectible shop in Paia, Maui. |
