Fire-King Launches New Peanuts Baseball Art Mugs
Fire-King Japan is set to delight fans of Charles M. Schulz’s classic comic strip, Peanuts, with the exciting launch of two new stacking mugs from the Fire-King Peanuts series. Inspired by iconic baseball-themed illustrations from the series during the 1960s and 70s, these mugs are perfect for collectors and fans alike.
New Mug Designs
The two new designs include:
1.
BIG CHANCE - A milk-white stacking mug featuring Charlie Brown in a classic comic scene from 1960, declaring, “THIS IS MY BIG CHANCE TO BE A HERO!” The mug showcases a colorful illustration of Snoopy swinging a bat, designed in a bold blue tone that uplifts the spirit of sportsmanship and courage.
2.
FIRST CHOICE - A light ivory stacking mug that highlights a sweet moment from a 1971 Peanuts comic where Snoopy kisses Lucy on the cheek, with the sentiment, “YOU’LL ALWAYS BE FIRST CHOICE IN MY PLAYER DRAFT, SWEETIE!” Accompanied by a playful Woodstock illustration, this mug is adorned in a vibrant red color, making it an ideal gift for those special relationships in life.
Both mugs come gift-wrapped with a unique Fire-King Peanuts original tenugui hand towel, enhancing their value as collectible items.
