Friends - How You Doin?

This mug is from one of my favorite TV Shows, FRIENDS.  The mug appears totally black on both sides. On the right is the iconic phrase used by one of the show's characters (Joey) "How you doin?" and on the left, at the top is the F·R·I·E·N·D·S Logo. 

 When hot liquid is added, the black area clears to show a green background with a drawing of New York city, where the show took place.  The NYC design runs all the way around the mug. 

It even has it's own full color box!

Lennox Christmas Mug #3 Tis the Season to be Jolly

This is the last of my Lennox Christmas Mugs (at least for now)  I'm pretty sure this is a set of 4, and hope one day to find the missing member to the group. This mug features the words "TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY" in green, on both sides, decorated with holly sprigs. 

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the words "SEASON and JOLLY" turn from green to red. (Actually more of a dark pink. Not as red as the box suggests.) The mug is brand new, with the sticker still visible on the inside of the mug.

As mentioned above, the mug comes in its own full color retail box, also in excellent condition.

Lennox Christmas Mug #2 - Dashing Through the Snow

Continuing with last month's mug, this is the second of the Lennox Christmas Mugs. On both sides of the mug, beneath some Christmas Holly, are the words "DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW, IN A ONE HORSE OPEN SLEIGH." in a nice holiday green.  

When hot liquid is added to the mug, some of the words "DASHING, SNOW, and SLEIGH" all change from green to red. (Ok, so maybe a pink, it's not as red as it shows on the box, though it is a brand new mug.) 

AND speaking of box, this mug also comes in its own full color box!

Lenox Christmas Mug #1

This mug is a wonderful addition and is from Lennox.  The mug is a Christmas Design and (as far as I can tell) is one of four designs in a series.  On both the right and left are the stylized words: 

FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA w

with holly leaves decorating the bottom.  

When hot liquid is added to the mug, some of the LA LA LAs change to red!  Very elegant! 

This mug even comes in a full color box!

Bumblebee Movie - Transformers

This week's mug is another movie tie-in mug from the Transformer series.  It specifically ties into the Bumblebee Transformer movie.  The right side of the mug has a drawing of Bumblebee himself, in a beautiful yellow and blue.  The left side of the mug is blank. 

When hot liquid is added, the blank side of the mug clears to reveal the logo associated with Bumblebee, "B127."  

The mug is brand new and comes in its own retail display box.

Star Wars Lightsabers

This is another really well designed mug with a full wrap around design.  The mug features the logo from the movie series Star Wars on the left and right sides of the mug.  All around the bottom edge are the different Light Sabre handles of all the known Jedi Knights and Siths in the Star Wars movies.  

When hot liquid is added to the mug, each of the Light Sabres is lit up, showing their individual colors of red, green blue and purple.  

The mug comes in a full color box, too!

Personalized Family Mug

This is a terrific addition to any collection, but also to any home.  My kids had this magic mug made especially for me.  It looks like a typical mug with a black and white photo on the sides of this all red mug.  (Pictures of my own kids and grandkids*)  There are two shots, one 'action' shot on the right and a posed portrait type on the left.  

When hot liquid is added to the mug - SURPRISE! The red color fades completely !  This leaves the pictures in full color!  This is the new style thermochromic mug, where the entire mug is covered in thermochromic ink. Even the edge of the handle, where it touches the hot mug is turned white by the heat. (Now, honestly, if this were a black mug, the photo would be hidden entirely, but I love this one and it has a special place in the collection and in my heart.)

*If you view the pictues full sized, you will notice that the faces are obscured.  This is both for security and to keep them from becoming too famous.  😇
