"The only new Tiki Farm items I can think of are those strange moai chimney things (what are they used for anyway?" Those chimney things are just that, chimneys. Their are two versions, a large outdoor one and a much smaller table-top one.

I think, based on what I have seen over the last two years, is that Tikifarm would bring out a group of different mugs all at once. But with their limited editions mugs, like the TikiMagazine's Derek Moai, (which was released recently) they did a weekend sale of those and sold out quickly.
But as of lately, there are more mugs that they are showing in the process stage or pre sales stage then anything selling stage.
Just from stuff that has been shown on TC like the recent Donny Shrunken head (soon to be called Tied Died :D), then the long waited Benzart heads and then the new Flounder spaceman mugs, and the Squid's Skull mug (very cool) plus the other mugs that are on the back of the last Tikimagazine, along with different mugs that they make with other companies which don't sell on their website all the time.

Speaking of Tikifarm, they certainly have their own style and its like no one else (a good thing) but I would like to see at least one mug without the high glossy glaze. I know that some of the black mugs are matte but something like some of the more expensive mug company glazes look. This would mean that the mug would have to be more based on sculptural then detailed line-work. I like the satin glazes on mugs because the glare of the shine does block the view of the mug. Plus its a different feel in the hands, one I like.

But Tikifarm looks to be pushing the envelope and thats the best part of the mugs. Always seeing something new and that new is a welcomed good.
