Are these questionable? Mugs

I found these odd. No mention of Tiki Farm yet look identical in appearance.

This one was funny...."Duece" indeed...

I checked these out with the original "Tikifarm" mugs
they are some minor details missing from the mugs on eBay
these look like knock off's, Time to let Holden know about these....

These are indeed knock-offs - Holden tells me he's on it.

Checked with the seller and was told these have no brand name or logo
on the bottom, so these are knockoffs/copies
Do not buy! TCers

I sent a PM to Holden.

Rip Off's Totally... They almost look axactly the same except for the glazes and the PARTIKI name drop..

I see seven of Tiki FArms mugs hacked by these guys.. also one by Bosko as well..
Dat Sucks!!

Good catch McTiki.

When I saw Duece, I called shenanigans! Messaged the farm as well.

Man, the Chinese do it to EVERYTHING and EVERYONE! It's like a sport over there. Unbelievable!

I guess this means that Tiki Farm is in the same league as Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Gucci :)

Hardly unbelievable. Redacted. Not even remotely. Redacted.
Redacted. ARRRGGGHHHH!!! Redacted!!!!

I checked with Bosko and his mug is the real deal, so it's just the Tikifarm mugs that are not Kosher.

here's another...

Whoa! I'm flattered and annoyed, how did they make my Mana Mana mug look like it was drawn by small child.
The capitalist in me goes "They are using my design without paying", while the artist "It's not like I haven't borrowed from other artists" and the tiki collector "I want one for my collection".

This is the same company that is selling on eBay, I don't know if they are at fault here
they could just be buying from a shady importer? then again, who knows?

It's China. It undoubtedly WAS drawn by a small child. :/

The company lists it's address as Florida, LOL!!

Might be selling from Florida but definitely made in China for that price.... Totally sucks for artists that designed the mugs and for Tiki Farm that produced them.. :(
I got my originals and don't plan on buying the knock offs... I hope they stop selling these copy cat designs
Aloha

Just horrible - look what they've done!?! I've received a lot of calls and emails from concerned friends and collectors and retailers about this. I cannot share any of the particulars, but we are taking care of this.

Holden, those really are terrible! Do they think Americans are idiots especially tiki collectors?

Maybe it will be worth more like the upside down plane stamp.

It do's show that not everyone can do a quality product.

It's Tiki Girl on Crack!! I just don't see them being worth anymore than what there selling them for..

I am going to assume here that it is Americans who are having these made in china and selling them here.

I almost thought of buying some just so I could leave Negative feedback, then have the kidz have a little shooting practice with the pellet guns! :wink:

I'm Headed to Big Lots now, on a Spy Mission for ya!

It looks like a someone painted the hula girl in the dark and hoped to hit the right spots. I have an excellent buzz going right now and I know I could do much better with a brush firmly planted between my left big toe and index toe!

TT

It's been two years now, and it looks like barsupplies.com is still selling knock-offs. Was there nothing that could be done? :(
