It seemed the detail was a bit lacking, like a bad cast and glaze from Taiwan or something. As stated on the web page at Tiki Farm, these are made from 15 original Tepco molds, 10 mugs from each mold. So the detail probably won't be outstanding. But I think the cool thing is, you're getting a little bit of tiki history in a new product, in an original color. It's doubtful you'll come across such a beast very often, and I'm surprised they haven't sold out by now! Destined to be a sought after collectible in a year or less, that's my guess.
