We're making a mold and plan on having the debut at the annual Tonga Hut Winter Wonderland art show in December. It's a tall one--9and3/8 inches. Based on this guy.

H Hiphipahula Tiki Socialite The Valley! Joined: May 27, 2006 Posts: 2451	H Hiphipahula Posted posted on Thu, Oct 14, 2010 11:52 AM That's the Tonga Hut's "Big Mo" he is grand! Beautiful job Kirby and Ernie Grog. This is very exciting :D If you were wondering why it took so long? It's always been a question of having to order so many mugs and more so, storage, the TH is small but mighty. It was very important to Jeremy that Kirby and Grog did this project as they both have been good friends to Jeremy and to the Tonga Hut from the very start so this mug really is a tribute to not only the Hut but to friendship and longevity. Congrats to Kirby, Grog and Jeremy. Tonga Hut Since 1958 12808 Victory Blvd. North Hollywood, Ca.91606 [ Edited by: Hiphipahula 2010-10-14 11:53 ]
