You know, it's funny - as much as I rag on these too, especially when I'm in New Orleans and see them going for $20-26, I actually have never gotten around to getting one! It's sort of like Michael Jackson stuff in the '80's: you heard it so much, you never needed to go buy the album(s), since you knew every d*mn song by heart, whether you wanted to or not!

And like MJ's '80's albums, Leilanis are so ubiquitous that it will be a loooong time before they are worth big bucks to a collector. But they're still great little mugs, and Thriller was still a fun album, or at least video.

C'mon, admit it. You know you watched for the dancing ghouls to come out every time, and for the black stuff to pour out of the corpse's mouth. C'mon, be honest. I thought so.

Oops, kinda drifted away from tiki there....wait....Vincent Price! Yes! The disembodied laughing voice on the video, and the bad guy on the Brady tiki episode. 6 degrees of tiki, anyone?
