This is the first mug from Tiki Diablo's new line, Tropical Cocktail Mugs.

They feature vintage shark-faced nose art, commonly associated with The Flying Tigers, who were a group of American volunteers with the mission of defending China against Japanese forces in WWII. The shark-faced nose art of the P40 is arguably the most recognized nose art of WWII.

Drum Barrel was released in two colors, green (Torpedo Juice) and gray (Jet Fuel), at the Shipwrecked! event in Marina Del Rey, on April 30th, 2022. The general release was a few days later on the Tiki Diablo Big Cartel website.

The mug sold for $50 and comes with a chrome stirrer and a recipe for Torpedo Juice and Jet Fuel.

A green and white mug featuring a cactus with a Birdman Tiki carved into the front. Design based on the Birdman Tiki, carved by Barney West and erected in 1962, outside of Trader Vic's in Old Town Scottsdale, AZ.

This event mug was issued for the fourth annual Arizona Tiki Oasis, the twin event to the San Diego Tiki Oasis, and held on April 28th-May 1st, 2022. This was held at the Valley Ho resort (est. 1956) in Old Town Scottsdale.

The mug was issued with the "Deluxe Evening Resort Pass" which was a value of $200, and $100 more than the "Regular Evening Resort Pass" without mug, so initial value can be estimated at $100.

While this was likely intended as a chip and dip bowl, it is completely serviceable as a drink bowl.

The bottom reads "© DISNEY CHINA, NOT DISHWASHER SAFE, NOT MICROWAVE SAFE" with a sticker reading "Disney Direct, Overland Park, KS66214". The bottom of the volcano insert has the same information.

Alex Gupton could not resist and wrapped one of his famous Hawaiian geckos around the back of the mug for the added local touch!

Krampus is a beast-like creature from the folklore of Alpine countries thought to punish children during the Yule season who had misbehaved, in contrast with Saint Nicholas, who rewards well-behaved ones with gifts. Krampus gives out coal and switches and is said to capture particularly naughty children in his sack and carry them away to his lair. Krampus is represented as a beast-like creature, generally demonic in appearance with horns and a long protruding tongue. This Krampus mug was created for 2014 and the devil figure is holding a pitchfork in one hand and dragging a small child with the other. More children are stuffed in his bag on the reverse side.
