Taun Taun Sleeping Bag

With the pictures, they must have already made a prototype. I think this would actually sell pretty good if it was real.

Interesting little note on the product page:

ATTN Tauntaun Fanatics! Due to an overwhelming tsunami of requests from YOU THE PEOPLE, we have decided to TRY and bring this to life. We have no clue if the suits at Lucasfilms will grant little ThinkGeek a license, nor do we know how much it would ultimately retail for. But if you are interested in ever owning one of these, click the link below and we'll try!

Looks like it actually may have a slim chance of being made.

OMG Tom!!! your sig is awesome!!!!

 

[icruise]

I signed up. Maybe they'll be able to make it.

That sleeping bag rocked!

I want to pick up a copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies!

It fits small adults...I'm under 160, does that count?

It's five feet long. 2 feet 8 inches wide. I think that would be no.

By the way, the Taun Taun is an April Fools Day joke.

The glowing lightsaber zipper pull tipped me off to that.

I saw that last night and laughed my ass off. I particularly like the intestinal print on the bag's liner...

Man, I hope so! I'd definitely buy one for my son, but I hope they make adult sizes too!

That was just mean. I really wanted one...

I tried to order as well.

 

[Anzik]

I asked my son if he wanted one and he said yes as long as it didn't come with a life sized Wampa.

The zipper is cool it a little light saber.
I have a friend who is a seamstress I’ll ask her if she can pull this off.

By the way that joke was not funny. I showed it to my daughter and told her I was getting it for her up-coming camping trip; she cried when I told her it was an internet joke. Well I cried too..... LOL

 

[icruise]

The thing is that it's totally plausible -- I've seen more ridiculous things that were legitimate products. In that sense it's not a very good joke.

 

[HugeBadWolf]

Anyone remember the Darth Vader Operation from RebelScum a few years ago?
I'd have bought that too

Looks like the Tauntaun sleeping bag is a go. I just got this email and pictures from Think Geek. It's still not available for purchase, but it looks like it'll go for $99.99.

A message from Mr. F.M. Tauntaun, c/o ThinkGeek
###########################################################

My friends in the Rebel Alliance,

Remember me? The ThinkGeek April Fools Day joke, a little movie
called Star Wars?

Yes, it's me, the Tauntaun Sleeping Bag, and I've arrived safely
at ThinkGeek HQ after a long and harrowing journey from Hoth to
Jokeland to Licensingville to Realitytown.

Turns out the monkeys here are even more excited about me than I
was about finally being unpacked--'cause if you think I smell bad
on the outside, just imagine after a long trip in a box. The
attached photos might explain it better.

Anyways, everybody here wants to hang out and catch up, so I'm
sorry about having to make this quick. Just wanted to let you
guys know that I've survived the trip and I'll keep you posted
on the next phase of my saga!

XOXO,

First Manufactured Tauntaun Sleeping Bag

P.S. Apparently you guys can compete for me by entering
ThinkGeek's Halloween Pumpkin Template Contest, and you've got
until 10/29/09 to submit an entry. (No Tauntaun template
yet? Hmm.)

Even at $100, I will be very tempted to pick one up. That is just too funny and awesome.

 

[ProgMatinee]

If its legit it will be mine. Even the interior fabric is awesome.

 

[Kabukiman]

Just got the e-mail, it's pricey, but worth it!

This is now available for preorder for delivery by the 25th of November. I placed my order
