Tiki news from The Pop Insider... https://thepopinsider.com/news/dr-who-licensing-deals/ Doctor Who Geeki Tikis | Source: Beeline Creative/ the Pop Insider If you spent this morning thinking you’d rather be drinking your morning coffee from a K-9-inspired Tiki mug, you’re in luck. BBC is partnering with Beeline Creative, Hallmark, and Rittenhouse to create all the Doctor Who merch your Tardis can handle. Beeline Creative and Hallmark will drop their new items in October and Rittenhouse will release its items early next year. Between the three companies, there’s something for each Whovian, whether they’ve been there from the start or they just had to google who K-9 is (hint: look at the picture below!). K-9 Geeki Tiki and Doctor Who Mini Muglet 4-Pack | Source: Beeline Creative/ the Pop Insider Beeline Creative takes things to the tropics with five different Doctor Who-inspired Geeki Tiki mugs. Fans can bring home Tiki-fied versions of the aforementioned K-9, the Eleventh Doctor, a Dalek, or the Tardis. For those who can’t decide on just one, there’s also a Doctor Who Mini Muglet 4-Pack with the Eleventh Doctor, a Dalek, a Cyberman, and a Weeping Angel. This set comes in a Tardis case — and, yes, I am already planning my next out-of-this-world luau.

The Tardis Keepsake ornament features light and sound effects, while the Fourth Doctor Keepsake ornament is all smiles and swag with his signature scarf. The Series 11 & 12 Trading Cards promo | Source: Rittenhouse Last, but certainly not least, Rittenhouse Archives plans to release Doctor Who: Series 11 and 12 Trading Cards signed by members of the cast, featuring the Doctor herself, Jodie Whittaker. Other signatures include Mandip Gill (Yaz), Tosin Cole (Ryan), Sacha Dhawan (The Master), Patrick O’Kane (The Lone Cyberman), Chris Noth (Jack Robertson), Alan Cumming (King James), and dozens more. In addition, the cards will feature images and plot synopsis from every episode of series 11 and 12. This news comes just in time to fill the Dalek-shaped hole in our hearts that’s been created by the lack of new episodes. If anybody needs me, I’ll be patiently binging Doctor Who on HBO Max while I wait for October to arrive.

Additional Fee Required. Inspired by the famous Disneyland theme park ride, Disney’s “Jungle Cruise” is an adventure- filled, rollicking thrill-ride down the Amazon with wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff and intrepid researcher Dr. Lily Houghton. Lily travels from London, England to the Amazon jungle and enlists Frank’s questionable services to guide her downriver on La Quila—his ramshackle-but- charming boat. Lily is determined to uncover an ancient tree with unparalleled healing abilities—possessing the power to change the future of medicine. Thrust on this epic quest together, the unlikely duo encounters innumerable dangers and supernatural forces, all lurking in the deceptive beauty of the lush rainforest. But as the secrets of the lost tree unfold, the stakes reach even higher for Lily and Frank and their fate—and mankind’s—hangs in the balance. Jaume Collet-Serra directs the film, which stars Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Edgar Ramírez and Jack Whitehall, with Jesse Plemons, and Paul Giamatti. The producers are John Davis and John Fox of Davis Entertainment; Dwayne Johnson, Hiram Garcia and Dany Garcia of Seven Bucks Productions; and Beau Flynn of Flynn Picture Co., with Scott Sheldon and Doug Merrifield serving as executive producers.

Mondo has released a line of Tiki mugs based on Nickelodeon’s Spongebob Squarepants series! The line has three models to start, Spongebob, his sidekick Patrick, and Squidward's moai themed home. The mugs were designed by Joe Allard and sculpted by Ramirez Studios. Each mug comes in three variants, 'Regular' which matches the original color scheme shown in the animation, 'Riptide' which is a brown tinged blue'ish glaze, and 'Driftwood' which is brown. Depending on the mug, like the Patrick mug, the Driftwood variant gives it a faux-wood look. Releases prices are $50 for Spongebob, $55 for Squidward's house, and $60 for Patrick. Expected ship date is sometime in August. https://mondoshop.com/blogs/news/order-up-introducing-our-first-line-of-spongebob-squarepants-tiki-mugs

I'm looking for a 'Tiki Lounge' light that was originally sold by Spencer's Gifts with 'Polynesian Pleasures' branding. This would be great in my home office but I seem to always miss them when I come across one for sale and, the last one I did find, the seller didn't want to ship. :(

Having collected sci-fi item for several decades, and lately have been getting into Tiki and MCM collectibles, the thought of what will happen to all of those items if something happens to me is a real concern. There really aren't others in my family who would be aware of the true value of some of items so it's distressing to think about some of the stuff ending up at the local 'thrift store' or, worse, tossed in the trash. The thought, for example, of author signed manuscripts or original art pieces being destroyed is migraine inducing! :eek: Do you have any contingency plans for your collectibles? Do you maintain a master list of everything and make sure a hard-copy will be found? Have you made arrangements already with a family member or friend? Provisions made for them in your will?
