Are all Munktiki mugs limited in production to 100, or only certain ones?

Okay, I see from their website that the limited editions are sold on eBay, so I'm guessing those sold on their website are not limited.

The ones on the website are numbered, and they seem to stop making some of them (there was a sold out sign next to Brew Monkey a while back), so perhaps they are limited in that respect.
Stuckie should be able to give us the low-down.

in speaking with stuckie a few weeks ago, he noted that brew monkey was sold out, but that they might make more later, so they are not limited in a numbered sense, but their availaility appears to be "constrained."

I believe Munktiki's limited production mugs are limited to eBay sales only.

Where the hell is Stuckie when you need him?
I thought that they WERE limited to a specific number of units - hense the numbered series. Now, the Shecky mug, I thought was limited to a bit more and I wondered why.
The great and powerful Stuckie knows all... Your questions will be answered in time...

I've seen this Shecky mug mentioned on this board before. Does anybody have a link to a picture? I'm really developing an obsession for Munktiki mugs and would like to see any that I've missed. Is Shecky on the page of eBay mugs on Munktiki's site? Does anybody have any obsolete Munktiki's they'd like to sell?

I bought several tiki mugs from Munktiki recently and at the time I asked about touring their studio near Monterey CA. Munk said they were in the process of moving, so this fact could account for the their stock being limited right now. I bought their set of nut cups with a different cool tiki on each side and their awesome scorpion bowl.All were of the highest quality.

That Shecky mug is great! Tikifish, could you give a history of how the mug came to be for those of us of recent Tikification?
Thanks!

Sorry I could not respond, have been very busy as of lately.
Heres the low down, Ebay mugs are limited editions, our first ones were editions of 100. Are new limited edition mugs we up'ed to 150, our molds are holding up better then we had hoped.
Website mugs are unlimited, there has however been one mug discontinued "Brew Tiki", not to be confused with "Brew Monkey". The reason for this was because The master mold had a small accident. It can be fixed but I have not had the time to fix it nor the desire due to the amount of time Brew Tiki took to make.
I do hope to have him back up for sale at some time, when? I do not know.
As for shecky, there are still plenty left and I apologize to all the people I did not get to about this. I feel very bad about it and will be holding on to some for the people I forgot about.
Later

Stuckie, maybe you should book a room at Balantines Movie Colony or somewhere else in town! Since you are a tiki VIP, I bet you could still hang at the Caliente. I wish you could still find a way to attend.
