This mug is extraordinarilly time consuming and difficult to produce. Because of the high level of detail and size, it's not a normal production mug. The molds only hold out for 6 mugs, then have to be hand created again, (and there are 4+ molds per mug) the mugs details then have to be hand finished, and then they're hand painted. Essentially, it's not an easy proposition, especially when one Ohana Hut Mug production = 10 mugs of an easier production (which typically only have 1 mold per mug). It took Stuckie almost 1/2 a year to complete the initial order, and much of that was on his own time beyond his usual Munktiki business work. It was truly a labor of dedication. You beat me to it Coco Loco. I'd like to add that the hut is very large and it really ate up quite a bit kiln space, limiting what else could be fired. Stuckie did an amazing job and I'm quite happy that he took up the challenge. Now, a mini Ohana hut Christmas ornament would be neat though. There were also post cards available of the hut drawings so everyone could get their fix.
