Here is your chance to have a staple of any tiki bar, the puffer fish lamp. I have been selling these on Ebay for a while, and now I am moving over to selling on my website as well. I am adding more as I go, so check back. If you have any requests, email me. Click HERE for the site.

If only my ceilings were that high! It would be dangerous to have huge lamps hanging at my house. You'd end up with a puffer fish imbedded in your forehead. |

I am now also selling via my website. I am slowly adding the entire inventory there, so, check back or email me if you have a request. I hope to add a couple of smaller ones today that would make a great set of pendant lights for over your bar like at Hala Kahiki. |

Here is my budget version (until I can afford a big-ass one like that..) Wow great idea, my Bar is set up outside on the patio. I had a real puffer but lost it to mother nature. Will have to keep my eyes open when I am getting pond supplies at the pet store. |

This is it! The last of these super massive ones. I have one more large on on the site, but he is a bit dented. This is huge and perfect. You may never see a bigger one. I haven't. He measures the same as the last one, but looks a lot bigger. If you want a large puffer fish lamp, this may be it. I don't know if I'll be able to get big ones like this again.

The last two on Ebay went within an hour! There are more in stock, I just have not gotten them on Ebay or on the site. The last really huge one is one the website: I also have a bunch of smaller ones in stock that will make great pendant lights for over your bar. I have always admired the ones over the bar at the Hala Kahiki in Chicago: Cute little guys. If you want several, let me know and I'll adjust the price to account for combined shipping. You can order them at the same link: HERE, just scroll down More in the next day or two. I plan to have my entire inventory online by Thursday. The extra special surprise we are working on. We hope to perfect a string of Christmas puffer fish lights and fish float lights! We even have plans for the puffer fish lamp inside the fish float string of Christmas lights! We are deep into the research and development of these items. Stay tuned. |

I have two pendant puffer lamps with matching appendecomy scars for sale half price. 2 for 1: $35, shipping included. I get about 10-20% of the puffer fish with some sort of damage. Lots of dented bellies on the big ones. (If you want a 16-18 inch one with a dented belly, email me for a deal) and a few that have cuts in them. Just part of the way they are made. These are a very cute matching pair with an extra opening for the light to come through. Email me to give them a good home. |

Just in case anyone was thinking, I shipped the little guys this morning. Still plenty of regular priced puffer fish lamps available and I have plenty of scratch and dent puffers too. I think there are about 5-6 16-18 inch puffer fish in stock with mild to moderate damage that I will sell for $40-45 each shipping included. $45 for the mild dents and, $40 for the more dented. Any of them will display well in a dim tiki bar with the light on. I am moving soon and would like to clear everything out first! If you don't buy them, I will be forced to put them all in my own bar! |

Last shipment from the Philipines came up empty on the large fish. No more 16-18 inch lamps for a long while. I will be putting the ones I have in my own bar. I am now offering a slightly smaller puffer fish lamp for sale. 13-15 inch size at a mid-sized price. Check here for the new mid-sized lamps. |

It's been a long time since I was selling these. Not enough time to keep up with orders. But we decided to do it again for a while and see how it goes. My current stock are about 15-16 inches long. I am getting a shipment of up to 20 inches. If you are interested in these big mamma jammas, email me for pricing and a time frame. I also just got this one. It is THE largest puffer I have ever seen. I am debating selling it. Once it is ready, it'll get a trial run in the Hideaway. If it is deemed too freakin huge, it will be sold.

That thing's a beast-master Swanky! The only one I've seen bigger than that is the one at Oceanic Arts in their private collection. I do think I found your puffer's slightly younger brother though... How good did you feel when you pulled that thing out of the box! |

It was crazy. We got 2 22" ones and opened that first. Pulled one out and it was crazy huge. Then the other box had this one and it was just off the hook! It is very close to the one in the Aku Tiki Room, but I think it is bigger around. I will get a girth measurement soon. |
