Ron Jon's Surf Shop Tiki Mug

I faintly remember hearing that they were going to have an exclusive mug. Did it ever happen? Can someone post a pic?

The website says that it will be out late November.

I'll try and call them tomorrow and find out from someone when it will be arriving.
It is only a half-hour away or so and it's open 24 hours, so I'll be there the first day or so to pick up a few.

I saw on thier website that they have them for sale now.

I dig this mug, but don't they seem a little too pricey?

That tiki seems to have rat fink esque mouse ears

Thanks for the heads-up! Now I know what I'm getting for my surfing son-in-law for Christmas.

The mug is available now - just picked one up.

So, is this a cool mug and worth purchasing for my wall of shame, I mean fame?

..kind of a lame sculpt....like he's wearin' his ass for a hat...i'm gonna vote with my feet and pass this one on by....

love the ratfinkyness of it, but I am gonna wait for the Mooneys tiki mug.

I think the head looks like a curling wave, 1970s-style. I really like this mug. I think I may put it on my Christmas list and see if I can lure a family member into getting one for me.

I saw the mug yesterday at the Ron John shop at the Block in Orange. It was $35.99, and is supposed to be a limited edition of 500. They had about 6 or 7 left out on display. The mugs are off to the right hand side of the store, sort of behind the cash registers. There's a big woody in the area, and the mugs are sitting in the trunk space.
For those in the area, you can also get a little blue mug from Hilo Hattie that appears to have been made exclusively for them. My wife sequestered said mug for a Christmas gift, so I have no pictures to post.

I bought one of these Ron Jon limited edition tiki miugs, there were only 500 of them made (I have number 28). Tiki Farm made it. They also made a limited edition one that they sold on their site for 24 hours for hurricane Katrina. The tiki has a Mardi Gras theme and comes in two color variations (you can see it on their website at http://www.tikifarm.com with a direct link at http://www.tikifarm.com/katrina_mug.htm ), and I ordered one of those too.
