Thingumy and Bob got their second mug in February 2018. This mug is still in production. The overall appearance of the mug is noticeably different from the earlier character mugs. The mug bears some resemblance to the special mugs, as the design is more lively than the ones before. In the green mug the inseparable Thingumy and Bob are pictured together with their large, red ruby. Tove Slotte found the original images from Tove Jansson’s book Finn Family Moomintroll.
