Another Toy Story 3 tiki mug on auction for Japan Disaster Relief

Last May Toy Story 3 director and tiki fan Lee Unkrich auctioned off some tiki mugs that he had made as a gift to the crew who worked on the film to support Japan disaster relief. Now, many artists at Pixar have banded together to sell more items on eBay to raise money for MercyCorps Japan Recovery Fund and among the items is another one of these super-rare mugs!

As you may recall, the mug features Buzz on one side and Woody on the other. This auction includes a previously undocumented thank you note that was included with the mug, signed by Lee Unkrich, which reads as follows:

Mahalo!

This Tiki Mug is my gift to you for your stunning(?) work on Toy Story 3!

We have created a film we should be proud of and I will be forever grateful to you for your tireless work. Or tired work. Whichever may be the case.

Each mug is numbered in a limited edition of 500. It was designed by Bob Pauley and sculpted by Jerome Ranft.

Now fill it with something at celebrate.

Mahalo nui loa!

Lee Unkrich

The auction is running for six more days.

Update: The tiki mug ended up selling for $788.99!
