This mug is one in a series of mugs by Rob with natives (Menehunes) holding masks in front of their faces.

The mask on this one is based on an image from an old Disney ad.

Released during Tiki Kon 2023, July 29th-31st, 2023.

From Pizza Morte:

"Only mortals would be foolish enough to sell their soul for pizza, and yet, here we are. Embrace your hunger and make a deal with Pepperoni Satan. Your eternity is full of torment and despair, and it's staring right back at you.

Each pie bakes differently, so it may not look just like our photo here. Worry not, Pepperoni Satan himself inspects every pie with our revolutionary 666 point quality inspection."

This variation on the Munktiki skull is covered in gloppy sauce and cheese and the mouth is open in a silent scream.

Pizza Morte is a spin-off brand from Munktiki, all designed, sculpted, and created by Miles Nielsen.

These are "dropped" at unexpected intervals on the Pizza Morte merchandise page.

The original "Tiki Bob" mug was created for Tiki Bob's in San Francisco, here the design is "borrowed" for the Hawaiian Village in Tampa. The yellow lei part of the design was not on the San Francisco Tiki Bob's. Very simple, cheerful white tiki face on brown.

Distinguishing characteristics:

No chips or cracks. Close to mint.

The Feejee Mermaid II was produced by Munktiki. The design is based on an old PT Barnum hoax in which the head and torso of a monkey was attached to the tail of a fish. For the first edition, the tail swept outwards to the side, but for this second edition, the tail is tucked behind the mug.
