What a disappointment. I got this for my adult son, who was, at first, thrilled with it. Pour in the hot water, make the Tardis sound and watch it disappear and reappear on the other side of the mug. Do it only once, never again....
We've always washed this mug by hand in lukewarm water, no soap, no scrubbies, just using our fingers, lightly. No messing with the outside, we wanted to be extra careful the decal didn't come off.
Sadly, it started to chip, when dry, almost immediately. And today, after 2 months of occasional use, not even once every day, I was rinsing the mug, as always in lukewarm plain water, and a lot of the decal just slid off on my fingers. When I looked at the mug, much of the decal still on the mug was wrinkled, so I left it. After it dried, most of what was left was glued back on, some areas weren't. My son won't use it again lest the rest of the decal slides away.
Bottom line, this would be cool, watching the Tardis disappear and reappear is fun. But after the first time, set it on a shelf and just remember how it worked. Not made for using every day for any length of time, you'll end up with a plain dark blue mug.
If you want to keep it looking good, use it to hold pencils or paperclips. Keep it room temperature and dry. Don't touch the outside, except the handle and bottom. It might last longer than 2 months if you're very careful.

I was SO excited when I received this as a gift. Being a huge Doctor Who fan, I obviously love this mug. Disappearing TARDIS? Awesome idea. But after just ONE wash, the paint started chipping off. I kept using it because I just loved it, but after 4 washes, the entire mug is almost bare.
As a note, I don't have a dishwasher, so I hand wash using non-acidic, all natural dishsoap. I could understand if this isn't dishwasher safe, but please, I didn't even use a scouring pad.

This is just a wonderful cup for Doctor Who fans. My son got one for his sister, and the TARDIS still disappears and re-appears after several months of regular use and hand washing. At 12 ounces it's the size of an average coffee mug so she doesn't fill it quite up when she makes a cup of tea so the tea steeps strong enough for her tastes. She's been simply thrilled with it and I've been very happy with how well it's held up. No fading at all on the image.
EDIT: The first couple of months the image held up just fine, but then the decal started peeling. My daughter was very disappointed, she loves this cup. We are currently using it for holding pencils so it doesn't need to be washed. We only hand washed it, it's never been in a dishwasher. I recommend rinsing only if you're going to be using this regularly.

My Dr. Who-loving daughter is enjoying her evening tea even more now. It's been entertaining us all. "It's bigger on the inside"

More decoration than practicality
Guys, yes, the decal comes off. That's due to the nature of how it works. Try getting it hot and then scratch the decal. It comes right off. Read more

fun cups
I bought two for gifts and both relatives liked them a lot. The tardis disappears and then re-appears in space when hot liquids are in the cup.

Dr. Who?
bought this for my daughter and she loves it. It cannot go in the dishwasher as the decal will shrivel but hand wash is okay.

Great idea but needs some work.
I ordered two of these, one for my son's birthday and one for my personal use. After only one use the graphic overlay has begun to pull away from the ceramic mug. Read more

Exactly as advertised.
It's a wider than normal mug, which is fine by me. The disappearing and reappearing TARDIS works they claim it does.

My grandson loves Dr.Who, so he _really loves his mug.The only problem for him is getting it away for his Mom & Dad because they love it too.
