Is it even feasible for a new Tiki fan to start collecting vintage mugs nowadays?

I sure hope so. I started collecting mugs about six months ago. I'll admit most of my vintage mug finds tend toward less actual tiki figures and more towards barrels, coconuts, etc. Most we're bought for 50 cents to about $7 depending on the junk shop. A few came from TC folks but shipping is horrible.

Here are my vintage finds:

And here are the newer ones (omitting some of my Dynasty and Benihana mugs, of course). The new ones came mostly from one good night at Frankie's:

For me, brand new mugs aren't as available without shipping so I'm glad I still find old ones from time to time.
