Just wondering if anyone has bought one of these. It is plastic, 55" tall and weighs 10 pounds. What I want to know most is does it hold up well outside in the elements? Thanks. 8FT |

8', I got one at Oceanic Arts a while back and use it to scare my dog every Halloween (yeah, cheap thrills). It holds up pretty well here in Cali outside, but extreme temps may be a different story. |

Yea, Bosko's site is where I saw that. But for the $175 + S&H price, I want to know who has had them outside and what kind of affects the weather has on them first. Anyone???? |

UV light fades dyes in plastic, red usually being the worst. I can't tell if your piece has any dye at all though. |

I'd love to have one of those. I'd like to use it to cover a foot tall 4x4 that's going to have my pond outlets attached to it. This guy look perfect for hiding it! I can lift him off when I need to plug and un-plug things. |

Alnshely turned me on to benson imports. great site. they have that same giant moai for 75.00. it is hollow in the back, i don't know if the one pictured at the top of this thread is too, but i am assuming so because the face is exactly the same. i hope that this helps. they also have real tapa lamps, but they are mucho $. i am still saving for one. |

Thanks for the link. I could have sworn that I tried that before and got nothing. Maybe I forgot the "s" in the middle. -T.J. |

I just ordered one of these Moai heads. If YOU have ordered from Bensons before, what do you have to say about their service, products and delivery time? Thanks |
