Tiki Caliente 15 Event Mug - Aloha Jhoe - Aloha Bros Edition - Blue - by Doug Horne & Eekum Bookum
in 0 collections
This mug is faithfully crafted after the Aloha Jhoe's mascot Duk-Duk. Aloha Joe's was a well-known tiki bar and restaurant in Palm Springs in the early 60s.
Aloha Jhoe's was created by Lyle R. Wheeler, a prolific Hollywood Art Director who won Oscars for his work on Gone with the Wind, Anna and the King of Siam, The Robe, The King and I and The Diary of Anne Frank, and was nominated another 24 times (many years, against himself). Wheeler was an Art Director on South Pacific four years before the opening of Aloha Jhoe's.
Duk-Duk is a secret society, part of the traditional culture of the Tolai people of the Rabaul area of New Britain, the largest island in the Bismarck Archipelago of Papua New Guinea, in the South Pacific.
This mug was released at Tiki Caliente 15, May 2nd-5th, 2024, at The Caliente Tropics, Palm Springs, California, United States. It was designed by Doug Horne and sculpted and manufactured by Eekum Bookum.
The regular edition for participants was in brown, but John Mulder created 2 in blue for himself and Rory Snyder.

The Creature from the Black Lagoon - 5th Edition - Vivid Satin Green Variant - by Doug P’Gosh - for MONDO
in 1 collection
From Mondo:
"Gurgling up from the depths to bring you a horrifying vessel from which to gulp your sinister spirits from, it's the official Universal Monsters Creature from the Black Lagoon Tiki Mug! This monstrous mug is designed by the deadly Doug P'Gosh, sculpted by the mischievous Matthew Black, and produced with the help of the terrifying Tiki Farm team. Creature features his horrible visage on one side, a scream scene from the film on the other, and holds 16oz of the lethal liquid of your choice! The only thing fishy about this mug would be not adding it to your collection!
This version of The Creature features a yellow base blaze, with a Gillman Green wiped glaze over it."
The first edition in green with yellow base is a bit less vivid and has a matte finish. This new version has a satin finish and is more vivid/brighter with more yellow popping through.
This was part of the re-launch of a select group of previously issued tiki mug designs by Mondo after its buy-out by Funko.

Da Supa Hip Monk Artist Proof - by Jacob Medina and Brad Parker
aka Shrunk’n Monk Custom Mug - by Jacob Medina and Brad Parker in 4 collections
These custom Shrunk'n Monk mugs feature a red glaze on the heads and leopard or cheetah hide patterns on the fezzes.

In any case, they are extremely limited color-ways of this design.
