Hello friends,
Here's the scoop on the Disney / Shag Enchanted Tiki Room collaboration:
The 40th anniversary of the Tiki Room came and went in 2003. A variety of merchandise was designed by Shag for the event that came shortly after the anniversary. The contract said this merchandise would be on sale through 2004. That is why we continue to see Shag merchandise at Disneyland continue to be released to this day. There were 4 pieces of art turned in to Disney: One Enchanted Evening, Tangaroa, Waking Jose, and Tiki Room Aviary (as well as some specially designed merchandise). Here is what has been released so far:
-One Enchanted Evening and Tangaroa Serigraphs (Limited Edition).
-One Enchanted Evening, Tangaroa, and Waking Jose matted mini prints.
-One Enchanted Evening, Tangaroa, and Waking Jose computer mouse pads.
-Three different Aloha Shirts (Limited Edition).
-Tiki Room necklace (Limited Edition).
-Shag notecards (using all 4 images. with envelopes).
-One Enchanted Evening puzzle.
-Tall Tiki Mug and Tiki Goblet (Limited Edition).
-4 different designs for T-shirts (2 for women and 2 for men).
-Postcards using each of the 4 designs.
-3 purses with Bamboo handle (One Enchanted Evening, Tangaroa and Waking Jose).
-3 Mini purses (One Enchanted Evening, Tangaroa and Waking Jose)
-3 mugs: Small mug with rope, same mug without rope, and bigger "beer" mug with same design.

Also note that the T-shirts were specially designed by Shag with exclusive artwork. One of the men's T-shirt just used the One Enchanted Evening art and might have been put together by Disney.

The following items were made by Tiki Farm and are NOT Shag designs:
-Chanting Mug (4 colors)
-Tiki Mini Mugs (Shotglasses, 4 colors)
-Pele Mug

The 4th Tiki Farm design, Rongo, was going to be a bowl. Technical difficulties resulted in this item being cancelled.

As far as Shag knows, the only other possibility for more merchandise is if Disney decides to make more purses and/or mini purses using the Waking Jose artwork or other. For the most part, the merchandise is all out and will stop being offered at the end of this year. Look out for more Shag / Disneyland merchandise coming for the 50th (non Tiki Room specific). More info on this later. We also know that Tiki Farm is making an Adventureland mug but what you don't know is who the designer is. I'll save this info as a surprise...
Also note that Disney released the Enchanted Tiki Room soundtrack on CD. Please know that a faithfully remixed, and remastered version of the entire show (and possibly pre-show) is scheduled to be included on the upcoming Disneyland 6 CD boxed set. Also, expect some Tiki Room merchandise designed by Kevin and Jodi (sp?) who brought you the non-shag Tiki Room, Tiki Farm Mugs. We hear of some very exciting items...
Let me know if you have any questions regarding this post.
Your friend,
Louis
