Thought I'd contribute some more images to this thread. Some nice stuff on here! First some followups to some earlier posts...

Here's another one of the chinese character pendants, this one for good luck.

And some more of the "fertility girl".


Here's the biggie ashtray that Freddie referred to. She's called "Twinkle Toes" on the paper label.


Some more of them - note the smaller one on the left with the magic sparkling nipples! I really like the two in the middle - they're by HIP, and sort of a before and after.

Someday when someone does the great book on lava tourist stuff, they'll go into some of the interesting variations on the stamps they put on the bottoms of the figures. Coco Joes seemed to have some special stamps they used for some of their more unusual ones.


This stamp is a little different, and only seems to be on a few figures. Kinda looks like the seal of some secret society.


The amoeba stamp with handwriting seems to be on some of the nicer Legends in Lava kind of stuff. The one on the left is the chrome dome guy that Freddie posted, and the one on the right is a nice big lava girl figure.


Here's the upright view of the lava girl on the right from the above pic. I like the ones that have that theme of an alluring female emerging from a lava background. Here's some more...


The one on the right has the "secret society" stamp on the bottom.

And here's some more ones I thought I'd post.


Dig the finish on the Alii Gold series.


I think the one on the left is a coaster; not sure what the one on the right is.


Side view of the two from above.

Hope you enjoy these! Seems like there's always new discoveries with these, so keep em coming!
