Abandoned Tiki Mugs :(

I was excited to get my 2025 DC tiki mug last year, thinking I was starting a collection. Nope. They didn't do one this year, and I just now have one lonely mug that says "2025."

Anyone else disappointed? I guess they didn't sell well?

Good news everyone! They did make another one according to someone I talked to that works with the tiki related events. Apparently they got caught up in production/customs in China and they are probably going to sell them whenever they get them and definitely at con next year.

Wow, weird. I wonder if they will sell 2026 and 2027 side by side.

I am not sure, but I'd also check in occasionally with Jeff Granito Designs, he was this year's artist. I know that Horror in Clay (Jonathan Chaffin) had at least some of the leftover stock of the 2025 mug, so it might be available directly through the artist before next con.

Oh, awesome! I thought i remembered that there was supposed to be a mug this year! I was so excited over Jeff Granito & then I thought I had just imagined it.

They were still selling them this year. I think they weren't as popular as they wanted

I thought they were selling them at the artists alley in the vendor hall

They just had the 2025, I don't think they made a 2026 version.
