This is an adaptation of the classic Tiki Bob combined with some naval battle cruiser elements. The Bob head has his usual white face, cartoonish eyes, and small mouth, but the head is the prow of a battleship made of riveted steel, plunging through waves, and wearing a sailor's hat marked for the US NAVY.
From False Idol on Facebook:
"Meet Navy Bob!! Our first collaboration with mighty MP Ceramics! A celebration of both San Diego maritime history and adorable Bobness for our fifth anniversary."
The gold glaze was done in 2023 in an edition of 10. The first was auctioned off at False Idol's Mandatory Maui Monday fundraiser night for the TS Restaurants’ “Legacy of Aloha” foundation.
"US NAVY" and anchors on front. "False Idol San Diego 2016-2021" on reverse. MPC sticker on the bottom of the mug is gold and the number is written in gold ink.
Notes
Gold and Light Brown/Tan glaze with a dark blue cap with a matte hat band and no rust on Bob's nose.
