I guess I should have been more specific. These are carved in Bali.

We know Bali is in southeast Asia. We also know that authentic tikis don't come from southeast Asia.
Edit: I can go to the hardware store to get the same thing.

Authentic tikis don't come from Asia. What are your prices?

I apologize. Wasn't thinking but I did change the title so theres no confusion. Wholesale price per piece is $100 for a 60 inch and $80 for a 40 inch. They generally retail for $180 and $150 respectively. Benches are $140, retail at $220 - $250. And masks are $10 to $15 for 40 and 60 inch which retail for $20 and $30. If someone were willing to take the entire inventory I can sell it at cost plus shipping. Entire container would be $20,000.

Gahhh, I hate to be a dick here, but the western half of Papua New Guinea is part of Asia.

Also, there's actually a nice Ku in the middle of this photo:
Is it's head on a spring? Like a giant bobble head? That's hands down your closest authentic tiki.
Do you have it without the bobble? If you do, I might be interested. Or maybe even if the spring can be removed, I could re-attach it. What's shipping on these run like? The one two to the left is pretty nice too.
Oh, and in case you're wondering about the hostility, although it's not a rule, it's frowned upon when new members don't want to be part of the TC community, don't introduce themselves in the proper thread, and come on here only to sell wares. Plus, Asian countries have been ripping off the style of the recently late Wayne Coombs for years, which is also not welcome among the diehard tiki enthusiasts. Not to mention the dilution/bastardization of Oceanic tiki with African masks. Bali and Indonesia are the worst offenders.
That being said, I've seen similar style tikis being sold at some recent big tiki events, that shall go unnamed.

Sorry for sounding hostile . I should have used happy LOLs faces. These are the same tikis at most large box stores and garden centers. I first saw the bobble head Ku five years ago. The second one from the right is even available online for a $100 w/ free shipping.

These are hand carved. I know you can get these from the hardware store because I was the wholesaler to them. My biggest account was Home Depot. I do not have any more of the bobbleheads. They are actually one of my biggest sellers. I guess my customers are a little more mainstream than some of the real tiki enthusiasts. They are good quality though. And I apologize, I didn't know the rules for entering the forum.
