This Tauntaun sleeping bag just popped up on Thinkgeek and it’s what every budding Star Wars fan Dad should get for their littlies. It’s stylish and has all the trimmings you’d come to expect on a real tauntaun. There’s a saddle, intestine patterns on the inside and even a light sabre zipper pull! Hopefully it doesn’t come with genuine Tauntaun smell though. $US39.99.

UPDATE: Yeah I know, April Fool. Where’s my editor? Isn’t he supposed to pick these things up? Sigh, fooled again.
UPDATED UPDATE: Looks like Thinkgeek fooled us so well they now they have to come up with the goods. Hehehe.

In the sub-zero wasteland of the planet Hoth, only the strong survive… and of course those lucky Jedi protected by the thick skin of a Tauntaun. Now after exhaustive movie viewing research and analysis ThinkGeek Labs has isolated the exact synthetic compounds needed to re-create Tauntaun fur. What have we done with this supreme knowledge? Created a Tauntaun sleeping bag of course.
