You are very welcome Rev!

A little back drop on how I came across this piece. About 8 years ago one of the original funko collectors Rick (Otto) drove down to my house before I was leaving for comic con to drop another funatic off who was going to ride with me to San Diego. So he pulls out this big box and says here is something for you Ken. I had only been collecting funko for about 2 years at the time. I didn't have any of the tikis at the time. I thought man this is pretty cool. I started checking the forum and asking around and found out holy crap this is a 1 of 6. What the heck am I doing with a 1 of 6?
I had it on display at my office for years then a few years ago our office downsized dramatically and I lost all of my space I had to display hundreds and hundreds of wobblers. So I boxed them up and they have been stored for years. I was cleaning out the garage and came across the Gold Tiki again. I knew as soon as I saw it there was a better home for him out there. Most of you who have been collecting funko for a little while know how much Jacob loves anything rare unique and odd from the history of funko. It was a no brainer that Jacob would give this guy a good home and enjoy it for years to come.

Reverend wrote:You Ken aka lovetheangels are Elite! The other day I received a PM from ken telling me he was cleaning out his garage and found something for me and asked me for my addy so I gave it to him. I had no idea what he was sending me but I figured he had found something Spastik related since a few years back he gifted me a Spastik Otto proto (what a great guy). Well I come home from a rough day today not feeling great about myself to find this big box on my doorstep and I was what the heck did he send me it's a big box. Well when I get inside and open it to only realize he send me a piece of Funko history, I piece I actually gave hope up on a while back. It was a 20" Gold Tiki LE 6 that was handed out at Fundays 2003, I am speechless people like you is what makes this place GREAT! Thank You SOOOOOOO much bother I can say I honestly I have the complete set now. You are truly an amazing Funatic!

Here is that bad boy!

Nothing better for a tiki bar then a bunch of Tikis

Regualr Tiki, Sugar Hill Tiki, GITD Tiki, The Sparkly Gold Tiki, and the Proto

I personally collect Spastik, Freddys and historic Funko Pieces like this Tiki that I am still in awe about, your the best my friend. To be fair there is one other 20" rare tiki which is the white teeth tiki that I think is a hand painted proto or a test piece that I know of but its not a production piece.

Time to make a fancy mix drink in a tiki mug with a little umbrella so I can toast to you Ken! :bow: :bow: :bow:


*Mod please leave this thread here, a great piece of Funko History deserves it's own thread IMO



UPDATE!

Well it's funny how life works out a few weeks ago Ken gifted me this awesome gift now Bootsy and his son gifted me the piece I mentioned in my first post making me complete 100% NOW :cheers: . The one of a kind white teeth proto, there are so many great Elite FUNATICS we have here, really was unexpected. Thank you so much Bootsy and Payne, once again speechless, Funatics ROCK!





I really need to work on being a better person I am so undeserving of this great Funko spirit that these elite funatics have shown me, thank you again to all 3 of you!
