Seattle Seahawks

This month's mug is a wonderful thrift shop find.  It shows the word "HAWKS" stylized with stripes of gren and blue in a wrap around design. 

Once a hot beverage is added to the mug, the entire mug clears to show the logo/mascot eyes of the Seattle Seahawks.  Go HAWKS! 

The mug is in incredible condition and a great addition to the collection.

Oz Witch - I'll Get You My Pretty!

 

This month's mug is a promotional mug for the movie "The Wizard of Oz."  It is in the new style where the entire mug turns clear (even the handle if it were to get hot enough) to reveal the design.  the mug starts out totally black, on both sides as seen above. 

When hot liquid is added, both sides change.  On the right side it shows the phrase "I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!" It also reveals a witch's broom.  On the left side, it shows the wicked witch from the 1939 movie "The Wizard of Oz" as played by Margaret Hamilton.

The mug is brand new and in great condition.

FRIENDS TV Show - Console TV Mug

 

I'm a bit behind the time this month, but it's well worth it.  For Christmas, my lovely wife got me this incredible FRIENDS mug.  I'm a big fan of the show and she knows this.  She had to order this one from the UK, so it has a special place in the collection.  

As you can see, the mug is shaped like a Console TV!  It even has legs.  On the left side of the mug is a depiction of a TV with a black screen and the FRIENDS Logo, with The Television Series under it.  On the right side of the mug is "I'd Rather be Watching FRIENDS.  The handle is square to match the shape of the TV.  

When hot liquid is added, the TV screen on the front clears to show the six friends. (For those not in the know, L-R: Joey, Phoebe, Monica, Ross, Chandler and Rachel) 

Unlike other 'square' mugs, this has a circular hole cut in the top! 

I had to show the bottom so you can see its legs. 

This Mug also came in its own full color box with fitted Styrofoam!

Oversized Day of the Dead Mug

 

Today's mug is an oversized 20 ounce mug. It shows a dark skull on each of the three sides. Each of the skulls is a slightly different shape.  

When hot liquid is added, the skulls clear to show individual designs of Day of the Dead Sugar skulls.  The mug is brand new, so the change is quick and complete.  It's a beauty. 

Being brand new, the mug even comes in it's own full color box.

Elf - World's Best Cup of Coffee

 

Just in time for the Holidays, we have this great mug.  This is the new style of mug which appears solid black on all sides of the mug, including the handle.  

When hot liquid is added, the mug clears.  On the right side of the mug is a picture of the main character of the Movie "Elf", played by Will Ferrell.  On the left side, is the phrase "World's Best Cup of Coffee." This is also from the movie.  

The mug came in a great box!

Star Wars 40th Anniversary

This week's mug is an oversized mug celebrating Star Wars' 40th Anniversary.  The mug has the '40th' logo  on the right side of the mug decorated with the Star Wars' iconic Luke and Leia symbolically posed.  The color pose on the left side of the mug is partially covered with the thermo ink. 

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the entire mug lightens to show the poster for the movie Star Wars.  The band around the 40th logo lightens slightly. 

This mug comes in a special retail display box.

Active / Sleeping Kitty

 This mug is another wonderful addition to the collection.  It is a sort of Night and Day, showing a sleeping kitty on a pillow when the mug is cool.  The dark background represents 'night.' 

When the mug is hot, with lot liquid added, the entire mug clears and we see the kitten during the day, playing and thinking of food. 

I have no history for this mug, but it's cute as all get out.
