Thread: And I thought they smelled bad on the outside

    Default And I thought they smelled bad on the outside

    Every year for April Fool's Day, the guys over at Thinkgeek.com play a practical joke on customers by creating fake joke products. Well this year one of those products was the Tauntaun sleeping bag, complete with intestine patterned lining and a lightsaber zipper pull. Well the customer reaction was so strong that Thinkgeek contacted Lucasfilms to request a license to produce the sleeping bag for real. I figured a lot of you here might be interested, and maybe if we all show our interest it could help them get the license to make a run of these for sale. Here's the link.

    That's pretty cool. The tauntaun head would be horrifying to wake up to though

    Just goes to show that sometimes the difference between a crazy idea and a stroke of genius isn't all that much.

    If it does get made, they need to make appropriate pajamas to go with it.

    Not as horrifying as Kropserkel's horse head pillow from The Godfather. That thing is enormous!

    The "prototype" was made by a woman in the 501st.

    Here's her LiveJournal about it:
