Misfits Mug - Bone & Black Edition - by Tiki Farm - for Yesterdays
aka Misfits Mug - First Edition - by Tiki Farm - for Yesterdays, Fiend Mug in 1 collection
The Misfits are an American punk rock band often recognized as the pioneers of the horror punk subgenre, blending punk and other musical influences with horror film themes and imagery. The group was founded in 1977 in Lodi, New Jersey, by vocalist, songwriter and keyboardist Glenn Danzig. This mug is based on the Horror Business single in June 1979, the cover of which featured a skeletal figure inspired by a poster for the 1946 film serial The Crimson Ghost.
The figure became a mascot for the band, and its skull image would serve as the Misfits' logo for the rest of their career.
From Macabre Daily.com:
"Wonder Con 2023 is kicking off tomorrow and a few exclusives from the folks at Yesterdays caught our eye that we think any spooky kid would love especially you fiends who are fans of the MISFITS and Tiki Culture.
The fine folks over at the SDCC Unofficial Blog were the first to announce that YESTERDAYS would be bringing a limited edition MISFITS Tiki Mug to Wonder Con 2023.
The site notes: These one of a kind 7.25 inch tall mugs are hand glazed and wiped with a unique finish on every mug, so that each mug has its own unique variations in the tones of bone-white, brown, dark green, and black.
The site continues: Included with each mug is a limited edition swizzle stick, a hand numbered coaster with specialty crafted cocktail recipe, and an official Tiki Club challenge coin. Only 500 have been made, and the first 250 are being made available to WonderCon attendees this weekend for $75. If any units of the initial drop are unsold, after the show they will go online. The final 250 unit online launch will occur later in the year."
*NOTE: This mug is the first edition and was also released in other color-way editions, including a second edition with blood spatter ("Blood Feast"), a third edition in red and white ("Crimson Ghost") and a fourth edition in green & black ("Green Hell").
