New mug from Trader Sam's? - General Tiki

The figures all emoting their own "Uh-Oh-a" response. On the one hand people complain about Disney never creating anything original anymore, and then people complain there's no Disney reference in something like this. Can't keep everyone happy I suppose. :wink: I wanted to add something else to this thought. From the Mahaloween event, I got the strong idea that the design of the mugs from the Shipwreck Barrel on out to now have originated with a design group within Disney products; and Tiki Farm is merely the producer of these. The Designer of the Shrunken Zombie mug was at the event. Anyone have any deeper knowledge of this process? [ Edited by: SBJiminyC 2014-11-05 13:00 ]
