The April Fools Joke that became reality

The Tauntaun Sleeping Bag. [Link]

When ThinkGeek's Tauntaun sleeping bag debuted last year as an April Fool's joke, a million voices cried out demanding it be made. The company picked up on this disturbance and, now, you can finally preorder your very own alien kangaroo Snuggie for $100.

From ThinkGeek:

This high-quality sleeping bag looks just like a Tauntaun, complete with saddle, printed internal intestines, and a plush 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".

The zipper pull is a lightsaber! You can gut this Tauntaun just like in the film. Let's hope it doesn't smell worse on the inside because, really, just wash the damn thing.
