REVIEW: Pop Culture Meets Tiki Culture With GEEKI TIKIS

Summer is here and the heat is on! It’s time to cool off at the pool or beach by kicking back with a nice refreshing frozen beverage. And nothing says “cool”quite like a Geeki Tiki mug, a line of drinkware that combines unique tiki mug styling with pop culture’s most beloved characters. Geeki Tikis are mugs designed for MY tribe: toy, movie and video game nerds that aren’t afraid to flaunt their fandom. Trust me, you’ll be the talk of the party sipping out of a Death Star Geeki Tiki.

As a store that specializes in cool pop culture collectibles, Toynk.com has embraced the Geeki Tiki revolution with an entire storefront devoted to the fun drinkware. With free shipping on every mug in stock, Toynk’s Geeki Tiki offerings range from Geeki Tikis‘ classic collection of ceramic mugs, to their newest series: portable plastic tumblers! To help share Geeki Tikis with our readers, Toynk was kind enough to provide a sampling of their hottest seller, Star Wars, along with a taste of the Fallout license, one of my favorite video games.

The great thing about Geeki Tikis is that no two mugs are the same. Depending on the license and character, the mugs range radically not only in design and color, but also in size and volume. Check out the scale of that Rancor Geeki Tiki pictured above – that bad boy holds 45 fluid ounces and is so large that it can hold a standard sized mug!

Another spacious Star Wars Geeki Tiki is the galactic superweapon (and super drink holder), the Death Star. At 24 ounces, the spherical shape of the iconic planet-killer stands out as one of Geeki Tikis‘ most unique designs.

While most Geeki Tikis‘ are sold individually, occasionally the company will offer a collectible two-pack, as in the case of the awesome Han Solo vs. Greedo. “Who Shot First?” is the question poised on the pack (Han did), but there is no question that this set would look great in any tiki collection. 

DSCN4748Geeki Tikis are not only amazing conversation starters while drinking your piña colada at a party, they also make cool collectibles. Aside from Star Wars, Geeki Tikis capture characters from a slew of hot licensed properties, including Marvel and DC Comics, Rick and Morty, Universal Monsters, Game of Thrones, and Fallout, just to name a few.

As awesome as Geeki Tikis look, they do have one small downside: they’re not very portable. While Geeki Tikis‘ quality ceramic construction is top-shelf dishwasher and microwave safe, bringing a ceramic mug to the pool, party or beach is not always ideal. As a solution, Geeki Tikis has introduced a new plastic tumbler line! These mugs are PERFECT for outside use (I tested them poolside!), each mug being made of a nigh-indestructible BPA-free plastic. Better yet, each tumbler comes with an easy-to-screw down lid and a plastic straw! Fun AND functional, Geeki Tiki tumblers are the way to go for fandom on the go.DSCN4791

Whether for everyday use or collectible display, Geeki Tikis make a fantastic gift idea for yourself or that special nerd in your life. With tons of pop culture characters in a variety of cool colors, shapes and sizes, there’s a Geeki Tiki mug with your name on it.
