So after seeing the cover of G.I. Joe IDW Issue 193 that showed an empty mess hall with coffee mugs strewn about with "The Pit" printed on them. I thought those were too cool to not exist IRL, so I hit photoshop and Hobby Lobby and got to work. While I was working on the graphics I ended up with a small handful of ceramic tiles for craft work and thought those would make nifty matching coasters. Now I was going to put "The Pit" logo on the back but then I found the G.I. Joe coat of arms that was so lovingly recreated by fellow Tanker Guam (Shout out to Guam for sharing his work) So I put the G.I. Joe coat of arms on the reverse side and half the mug and half the coasters. I think the finished product was well worth the effort.

Awesome. Those would be sought-after collectibles.

Dude, if they're time and cost effective, you oughta try selling them here. I know I can always use a good mug.

Thank you for the compliment. Making them to sell right now is not feasible. I don't have a good work space or chemical hood and ventilation for making a lot of them without killing every brain cell in the household. The Krylon glaze gives off a lot of fumes and just those few gave my wife a headache for 2 days. Also I wouldn't feel right making any profits on products with Guams work on them.

Ah...Guam spelled "Honor" wrong.
Ha ha. Just teasing. Although, GIJoe is an American institution, the coat of arms has the American flag and everything, so shouldn't they use "Honor" instead of "Honour"? |

My wife pointed that out and I checked the original decal for the flag that came with the old HQ play set. That is how it was spelled on the original. My wife got curious and looked it up and thought it is an older spelling or English spelling it is correct.

I guess "Coat of Arms" is an old English thing, that's why they used the old English spelling. Interesting.

These turned out great and I agree with others that these would totally sell.
