That. Would. Be. Awesome.

i totally agree. i saw this this morning on jediinsider, and was pissed that it was child-sized. the lady and i go camping all the time, and how awesome would it be to actually use this as your sleeping bag?
worst prank ever.

That is the coolest thing I have ever seen. I would pay big money for something that rad.

April Fools truly is the most useless and evil holiday around.

Hmm, not sure how I would do that lining but other than that it looks pretty simple to make. Maybe I should try my hand at it and auction it off to the highest TR reader, buwahahaha.

demand it! last time they did something this awesome (pixel tie) they caved and produced it.

if we "fall for it" and start ordering them they'll cave in!

I was totally taken in by this, and I agree with you, Rob.

Whenever Wizard would do their fake comic news in their April issues, it would always be a book I would kill someone to own. Like when they said Geoff Johns was bringing back Captain Carrot and the Zoo Crew. Of course, that actually happened later, but it connected to Infinite Crisis, which somehow negates it.

If this is ever made you must let us know immediately. If you need to start a petition let us know, I will sign.

I would buy that in a second if they had an adult size. Why should kids be the only ones that get an awesome sleeping bag.

Holy crap! In 1981 or so, I'd have traded my AT-AT AND my Millennium Falcon for that thing.

Last year they did the Personal Theme Song Shirt, which you can now buy here: http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/interactive/a5bf/
So maybe they will do the same with this sleeping bag.

Yep. I'd buy one for me, and buy one for my daughter, and I'd probably sell my bed so that my Star Wars-hating wife would be forced (Forced?) to sleep in one as well.

Because that's how cool that thing is.

Oh God I want this so hard.

It would go so well with my Yoda rucksack.

:sniff:

I have not been this bitter about a fake product since I saw those fake wearable Sinestro Corps Rings. I would have killed for those. So, so bitter. I hate April Fool's.

"You're just bastards who are taunting us with the greatest piece of Star Wars merchandise we'll never own."

Dontchu mean taun-taunting us?

I wanty.

Tho the linking should be pinker, I think.

I agree. I thought this was the best idea ever and was looking for my credit card when I relized it was a prank! Such a let down.

Hmmmm, honestly I don't think it'd be too difficult to make...
Well, until George Lucas sent out his copyright hit squad.

Actually, it doesn't look like it'd be all that difficult to make.
That is, until George Lucas got wind of it and sent out his copyright hit squad.

Don't forget the Personal Soundtrack shirt

http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/interactive/a5bf/

was originally an April Fools joke. Enough people flooded them with requests that they made it. So let's get to work!

I'd buy 5 of these if they really existed. I'd give the extras to my SW-obsessed nephews. It'd make for some bizarre imagery on family camping trips.

O my God, I'm so full of hate for myself now. I sent this tip along to TR because a freind showed it to me, and I thought it was most awesome. I never clicked on BUY NOW button and didn't even realize it was fake until you posted it here. I'M SO SORRY ROB AND TR READERS! I am so angry and stupid. I just April Fool'd all over myself.

I would *ABSOLUTELY*, without a doubt, buy this. I hope they see the response and pursue developing it for sale.

I said this on Twitter, but it bears repeating. This is the best thing since the Battlestar Galactica toaster. I'm going to need one of these soon if it keeps snowing until May like it did last year.

I would choke a cute little bunny to death for one of these.

Dammit. I want one of these too. And it better come with one of them cool Hoth hats, too.

The blue lightsaber zipper pull? Genius.

Where's the petition? I want to sign it three times.

After 3 weeks, my newborn twin sons were finally able to come home. I absolutely need two of these things.

Also @CaptainLoquacious: DC Direct is making a set of all of the multi-colored rings with a display case that's coming out this fall. You can see pics on their website.

OMGOMGOMG

FYI - check the site again. They got so many requests that they're going to try to get a license from LucasFilm. You can set it to email you if the thing becomes available.

I need this! It better be real!

If it's made they better have an adult-sized version.

I MUST HAVE IT!!!! >XO

Apparently ThinkGeek has gotten tons of requests for a real thing so they are gonna attempt to make it...lets hope for the best.

yeah but does it smell?

My six year old daughter took one look and said "Ooo I think I need that."

I'm still pissed at Wikipedia for making up the Museum of Bad Art for their fake featured article today. Dammit, the world needs a museum dedicated to horrible art to give a giant finger to some of the incredibly pretentious institutes out there.

There may be hope for it actually. Last year they had the 'personal soundtrack shirt' as an April Fool's Day joke but got so many requests for it they actually made one lol.

In other news, WANT.

Is it too late to enter the Awesomest Toy You Never Got contest??!

All it needs is a little sound chip to make the wobble-wobble tauntaun noise when you squeeze it's horn :D

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODE!!!!!!!!!!!

April Fools day is such a farce, today I got up and opened Cydia (iPhone users will know this)
and there is a new row that sayd Cydia was bought by MicroSoft.
..........
I hate April Fools, you cant really trust the crap thats being said that one day.
Also like gmails auto respond feature...

If you like Tauntauns, you'll love The Tontons...

Wait for it, man - they have a tendency to wind up making their April Fools jokes after billions of people write in to tell them they'd buy. (So send an email, if you haven't already.)

@Adam E:
The museum of bad art is real, you 'tard!

This is the most brilliant thing EVER! My Son needs this!!!!!!

Amateurs. Everyone knows that a real Tauntaun sleeping bag will have the zipper in the stomach, with foam rubber innards, so that you can properly climb inside.

i NEEED this! Please make... please please please

It has a lightsaber... To cut... Oh. My. God! MINE!!!
Fake? You bastards!

So, as some of you have noticed, we are going to TRY to make this into a real product, since every single person on the interwebs demanded it. Our ears aren't deaf to your pleas, we just have to find out if the bigwigs at Lucasfilms will grant us a license. Also, if/when we can make it, we really have no idea how much it would retail for, but I'm sure we'll figure that out at some point along the way.

So head over to the product page (http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/tauntaun.html), and click on the "Email me IF available link", and we'll do just that.
