Being from Hawaii I may have a different view of the "favorite collectable" mug than some of you. I like the Moai mugs but they originate from the other side of the world, so I'm not that into them.

Here's my 2 cents worth:

SCD, I TOTALLY disagree with the two mugs in your picture. The coconut is a coconut not a tiki, although it may have come from a tiki bar, it's still not a tiki. The other mug is a mug with Tiki's on it, not what I call a true Tiki Mug.

I do agree with Suffering Bastard that a nice green Aloha Hut mug, is common enough to not be too expensive, but has a great look and feel to it.

As for a Tiki Bob mug, it's only collectable because they are rare, and the reason they are rare is because they are UGLY and were all thrown away years ago. (I wouln't mind having one, but my wife and friends wouldn't understand why it's worth so much) It is definately not my opinion of a favorite mug everyone should own.

Geez, I'm usually not so opinionated, must of had a long day.
