Big Toe Mug - for The Makai
in 0 collections
Full body Tiki mug with open mouth, slanted coffee-bean-shaped eyes, and brow line incised with repeated triangle pattern. This piece was designed with vintage Hawaiian Island Tikis from the 60's in mind. Many of the Tikis from this period were carved with very big toes on their feet, and many carvers used this style on the islands back then, including the ones who were locked up on the big island's Kulani prison, where more of the very detailed versions came from.
This design was originally sculpted by Squid and released by Gecko in 2012, but a third party manufacturer represented it as an original design to the Makai and sold a repro version of it to them as a custom mug in 2023.
Compared to the originals, it is washed out and has much less molded detail.
The Makai only found out about Squid & Gecko being the original creators after its initial release.
Gecko and the Makai came to an amicable resolution on the matter, and sales appear to have been cut off, but there are still some of these out in the wild that were sold on location.
