WHO careved those Tikis in the BB Hawaiii episode. Being that alot of it was probably shot in Burbank, NOT Oahu, it was probably a Mainland carver....Bob and Leroy?...I've never heard them mentioned as carvers of any Tikis on the Brady Bunch.

I don't think they were from one specific carver...they look just like generic rental Tikis. I think they came from Sea & Jungle...or O.A., they used to rent that red fiberglass Pele head...but then again, maybe they took that over from S&J when they closed in the 80s. Those are great screen grabs, thanks for refreshing them

Also, where did you get that Brady Bunch tiki (looks like a KU) you have in the little plastic case ?

This nice Rockabilly kid named Brian made some years ago, and sold them to TCers here for a while. He is a specialty prop maker. He also made that 90s Levis ad Ku Tiki and gave me a copy of it. He lives in Burbank, I met Naomi at his backyard Tiki party, he had a German girlfriend, don't remember his last name...
