Shecky
aka Tiki Central Mug in 27 collections
Shecky is the official mug/mascot of Tiki Central. The design is by Jane "Tikifish" Murray. The mug features Shecky, with gritted teeth, angled eyes, and a smaller version of himself in front. Munktiki produced the pale green tiki mug.
Amazingly, the mugs took two years to sell out, Munktiki even brought leftover mugs to Tiki Oasis 2003 to sell to non-Tiki Central attendees there, and they finally sold out after a banner ad for them was placed on Tiki Central in 2003. Today, these mugs are highly coveted by Tiki Centralites.
