This mug is a riff on the original Mr. Bali Hai, the mascot for the Bali Hai Restaurant in San Diego, and is a mash-up between Mr. Bali Hai and the Creature From The Black Lagoon. The theme of this year's Tiki Oasis was "Monster Island" with a look back at classic movie monsters including the Creature, Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman and many more. Originally, this was a limited run of 350 which sold out by the event. Additionally, the event hosts and Eekum Bookum decided to take mail-orders for further mugs at the event (100 more?) to be shipped out no later than October 29th, for a grand total of 450 mugs. This is the first time Oasis has ever arranged for extra mugs to be made post-event. These mugs are labeled "AE" on bottom for "After Event".
"Tiki Oasis 2016 Monster Island" on back. Number of edition stamped on bottom, followed by: "Mr. Lagooni Hai Made Exclusively For Tiki Oasis San Diego, Calif Eekum Bookum" printed in black.
