Unless I'm missing something, with the exception of slide #1, the rest of those featured mugs aren't tiki at all, they're just themed ceramic-ware. The treasure chest is kinda cool though, but dang hard to store in your bar, and holy carp, available in a five-liter size? Wow... Well, those kinda mugs get used in bars that are called "Tiki Bars" and don't have any Tiki in them, so it all fits. It is some sort of alternate Tiki universe that the craft cocktail media has created for themselves. In the near future, some new cocktailian will pick up a real Tiki mug and exclaim "What the hell is THIS !!?" That mug shelf is, by the way, the collection of Moritz R., painter of the Book of Tiki cover :)
