Tauntaun Sleeping Bag

Posted by Miss Cellania in Home & Garden on April 1, 2009 at 9:13 am


This high-quality sleeping bag looks just like a Tauntaun, complete with saddle, internal intestines and glowing lightsaber zipper pull. Now when your kids tell you their favorite Star Wars movie is “Attack of the Clones” you can nestle the wee-ones snug in simulated Tauntaun fur while regaling them with the amazing tale of “Empire Strikes Back”.

Use the glowing lightsaber zipper pull on the Tauntaun sleeping bag to illustrate how Han Solo saved Luke Skywalker from certain death in the freezing climate of Hoth by slitting open the belly of a dead Tauntaun and placing Luke inside the stinking (but warm) carcass. If your kids don’t change their tune on which Star Wars film is the greatest ever, you can do your best Jar Jar impression until they repent.

Why has no one thought of this before? I, of course, clicked the “buy now” button. Color me disappointed. Like the Personal Soundtrack T-Shirt from last year, this will be the in-demand product Think Geek will actually have to produce sooner or later. Link -via Unique Daily

    I love the intestinal print on the inside of the sleeping bag.

    Freaking hell, I tripped the auto mod again.

    I think cool beats out disturbing, Graystone2000. I am not even that big of a Star Wars geek, but I would love one of these.

    Same with you Evilbeagle (totally loved writing that out). Yeah, cool.

    Cool, but makes more sense to the generation that was kids when "Empire" first came out. This generation is now having kids, and probably thinks it's really cool to wrap their kids up in Tauntaun intestines. The kids are probably kind of "meh" about it.

    Which touched off a series of thoughts about what a weird culture kids live in nowadays in America: bubble-wrapped and protected from every possible perceived harm, but exposed to more virtual violence than our generation (I'm 39) ever was. If you need proof of this, try watching one of the old-school horror movies (try "Friday the 13th", the original) and compare it to say, "Saw."

    (Oops--hit "tab" "enter" too quickly...)

    Since you have such pull in the blogosphere, and a really cool store, (and technically ThinkGeek isn't making them) you could totally jump on this one and make lots 'o loot!

    Someone get on the horn to Lucasfilm licensing QUICK! This has to be mass-produced ASAP.

    That, and a carbonite bed for adults.

    Bite me! I really wanted this to be real...going to go cry now.

    I just checked ThinkGeek.com, and they got so many requests for this that they are going to TRY to get it done!!!
    There is a link on the product page that you can click and give your email so that if it ever becomes a real item to buy, they will email you.

    This is ingenious, esp. the intestine print and the zipper.

    But NOELEGY's comments hit hard and ring true.
