2 Mainlander mugs to trade for 1 Tiki Bob

I wasn't sure if I should post this ad in Collecting or Marketplace so forgive me.

I have two Mainlander mugs (1 tall, 1 short) both in excellent condition to trade for one Tiki Bob mug.

Looking for the Tiki Bob mug that has his tongue sticking out and has painted eyes (I think the eyes are green). I don't have a pic of the mug, so if someone could post it I would greatly appreciate it.

:)

I believe this is your child, ma'am:

Sabu

ahh, neat!

Thanks for the pic Sabu. I don't think I've ever seen that mug. VERY cool. Best of luck to you Atomicchick. May your Tiki Bob dreams come true.

Thanks Sabu, that is the one. I just think it's the neatest!

I can see it now: The Exchange-

Somewhere, a foggy early morning on some East European border...two black limousines arrive from opposite ends of the barrier. Men in raincoats coats hustle out two subjects with folded up collars and deep in the face hats on one side: The Mainlander brothers.
Meanwhile on the other side, a mysterious single figure is escorted: Maori Bob is going to be exchanged...

Maori Bob is certainly rare, but is he handsome? I for one find that mug designers always seemed to have had a problem with the Maori aesthetic: The Hawaiian Inn paddle sucker, the black Mauna Loa...unique but not really "getting" the style.

But I concur that with Tiki mugs, it is about uniqueness as much as it is about style. Best of luck with this deal!

I didn't find the Tiki Bob with his tongue sticking out, but I did find the Tiki Gene.

Hey Mach,

I'll trade that for a Tiki Babs...

Sabu

Heya!

I have one of these

and would love to trade for one of these

I personally like the Gene tiki best!

Sabu,

THANKS... Now I'm gonna have nightmares.

Blame Traderpup for that one, Mach. He created the pic. I just comandeered it.

Sabu

Very cool guys, I love Gene! ...and the projected face...and Cpt. Hogan (and Schultz). What else can we do. Bosko already did some Big Eye ones (sort of). And Tiki Fish can animate them!

Or hey, let's jump on the bandwagon of the current DESIGNER TOY wave and have a bunch of bare Tiki Bob's cast that a bunch of name designers can splash their version on as one-offs, and sell them to the Japanese for LOTSA MONEY!!!
