The mug is based on Crazy Al's Tiki #211 (and mask). Al's work had previously been adapted as a mug. This version is similar but has been re-sculpted by Flounder in a sci-fi space motif with the tiki having Robby The Robot style arms, a robotic lower half with moon rover tank treads, and carrying a ray blaster. Flounder is remembered for having done previous Tiki Farm science fiction themed mugs like Radar Vic, Tron the Beachcomber, the Intergalactic Island Hopper decanter, and the Cosmic Robo Rover bowl. This Space Robot mug was issued in a few versions, including this first edition in light Seafoam Green, a second edition in Sky Blue, and in a couple of metallic artist proofs (silver and gold).
