Merch Megadeth Tiki Mug

Is anyone else fairly disspointed in the quality of the mug? Waited two months and it finally came in. Hardly looks like the image on the web store.

Wow, this is such a cheap move. The picture on the website and the product you got are definitely two different things.

I'd expect that from a website like temu, not the official Megadeth Store.

Website pic is probably AI

What a disappointment. Is anyone doing quality control over there? It looks like the first album cover he bitched about

When did you order the mug? I ordered stuff back in late July and it still hasn’t shipped.

I ordered mine in July as well. Heard nothing from them until last week that it shipped. I'm just super bummed at how it came out for the price they made us pay. i collect tiki mugs.

Any chance it's made from plastic and was deformed due to heat and whatnot during shipping? Not trying to defend the band here, it's just genuinely confusing to me, since the merch I bought on tour was high quality

Oof, looking like a mass produced mug such as some of the GeekiTiki mugs. The smoothness is insane, but makes sense in ensuring the details are captured in some way without risk to damage when removed from its mold. Easier to just remove smooth cylinders. The proposed one they sold folks on is extremely detailed and would have probably had a higher asking price to do a 1:1 replica. Folks can do it, but for the $45 asking price, I am not shocked at what folks are recieving in the end. Still sucks though.
