Mondo’s monstrous Tiki Mugs will put you in the mood for an early summer

With summer finally around the corner, why not kick things off early by pouring your favourite beverage into a MONDO “TEE-KIS” MUG. These ceramic handmade mugs hold a whopping 16oz (or more), and they are available in many different characters that are sure to quench your thirst for horror. Featured so far in the “Tee-Kis” line are Aliens (Xenomorph), Gremlins, and Cthulhu each with a set of variants.


Mondo also recently released their PLANET OF THE APES LAWGIVER Tee-Kis earlier this month with four different variants (Regular Sandstone, Liberty, Bone, and Bloody).  A fifth version featuring the Alamo Drafthouse Brown Glaze should be available soon. These mugs stand 8 inches tall and weigh in at 3 pounds. Artists Michael Bonanno, Tom “Thor” Thordarson, Tiki Farm based this line on the statue seen in the original Planet of the Apes movies.

Mondo was kind enough to share this exclusive tidbit on what they are brewing up next and boy are you going to need a bigger boat. That’s right, the next “Tee-Kis” mug to be released this summer is “Jaws” (concept art below).

Head over to Mondo’s website and grab yourself the “Tee Kis” mug that suits you best.
