Gremlins Tiki Mug Green by MONDO
aka Stripe Mug Green Unlimited Version in 8 collections
Gremlins is a 1984 American comedy horror film directed by Joe Dante and released by Warner Bros. The film is about a young man who receives a strange creature called a "Mogwai" as a pet, which then spawns other creatures (gremlins) who transform into small, destructive, evil monsters. The best known of these more destructive versions is a gremlin named Stripe, who served as the model for this mug. Designed by artist Michael Bonanno and sculpted by Ramirez Studios. Manufactured by Mondo, which is known for their screen printed posters and other collectibles. The brown glaze version was available for sale only at Alamo Draft House locations in and around Austin, Texas, during the December 6th showing of Gremlins (admission with mug was $37).
