All sides of the coin are represented. Most of the buyers of tiki are represented and then the sellers and makers are here too. Take example of the Pink Panther Shag mug. The seller presented it to the collectors and about half did not like the combination. A lot of forums, you can say hate it or love it. But here if you say you don't like it, you aren't just placing a negative stigma to it, you are also saying something directly to the artist and the financial backer. Sorta like standing in front of a product at a store and telling the people that walk by, why its not a good product. Thats why we have so many nice commits and the whole BK thread. We do have a lot of power. The mug companies woundn't to around if it wasn't for us. "Where are you thinking this thread should go" . I tend to have ideas, a lot of ideas about my favorite part about tiki, the mugs. Each mug is amazing (well most) and the new tikis leads me to new ideas about what a great mug could be. Since I don't have all the resources and I have never made a mug casting, I'm more of a thinker than a doer. Maybe some of my thoughts will indirectly lead to pull tiki mugs in a direction that would have never been pulled. And that the pay off. Like why does the white Asian figure mugs need such a big hole in the backs of the head plus a straw hole. Ok, maybe those do. I have lots of ideas and I'm sure they will flow when a particular items catches my eye. But I do think more talk could be made about the tikis everyday. I love tikis, I'm here to talk about tikis. How about this, If a mug maker chooses to bite. Just thought of this now. We the people, get to decide on the next mug with different choices. Five choices of the head to pick from, five from the eyes, mouth, nose, five choices of the body. The TC mug contest was the closest to having someone else pick a design and some members picking the winning mug, But what if all the common members that buy the mugs get to decide. I think it would be good to just generate ideas .
