Well, tiki is so cool now that I saw 2, count 'em, TWO Barbie doll sets at Wal-Mart the other day that contain tiki mugs. Unfortunately, neither mug was cool enough to make me want to spend the bucks on the doll...

The first one is a Wal-Mart exclusive, Barbie's Hawaiian Vacation. The tiki mug is the yellow blob between the dolls in this auction pic. You can't tell, but it is a 3-D "carved" mug, not a printed-on-a-sticker-and-slapped-on-a-cup mug.

The other one is a little more perplexing. It is Barbie Loves Tweety, which is a tie-in to the new Looney Tunes movie. The main reason I noticed it was what looked like a totem pole tiki god facsimile on the packaging. The "carved" mug is clear, and comes with a mini umbrella and bendy straw. However, when I read the back of the package, it was walking about Tweety's trip to Africa?!? I am confused...
