I thought I would share this new addition to my collection that some of you might enjoy.
My hobby, other than games, involves collecting tiki mugs and other Polynesian collectibles and generally enjoying the tiki life style. Just like Arcade collecting there is a very large community, with forums, conventions, artisans and other contributors. I commissioned a particular artist and mug maker, by the name of Wendy Cevola, to produce a few commissioned pieces for me and decided it was time to have a small token to connect the two hobbies for me. I designed and Wendy then sculpted and fully realized a Pac-Man mug that is based on a popular vintage mug style know as a "Tiki Bob".
Some of the details and colors wash out i bit in the picture, but in person it really looks great.

Cheers!

Sweet amalgam Sean. I am a fan of the Tiki (and Googie in general) style as well. I miss seeing polynesian-themed hotels, bowling alleys and restaurants. There's no imagination in most construction these days.
 
"In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room"... Big Disney fan... sorry couldn't resist. I can't wait to go back, going through wdww... that's Walt Disney World Withdrawal.

cant get enough of the tiki room either (big disney fan here). whenever we hit up disneyland, i always make sure to get a DOLE pineapple whip on the way into the tiki room. what a classic attraction.
