The corporate giants of the world are learning to get along with the genius designers of the world. Last month, Rob Walker wrote about No Mas, a plucky little company that made badass retro T-shirts from a design that Cassius Clay sported back in the 60's. No Mas was threatened by Muhammed Ali's licensing goons, but eventually came to an agreement that let the company officially license the shirts.
Now, Lucasfilm has given the licensing nod to something that Extreme Craft wrote about way back in April....THE TAUNTAUN SLEEPING BAG WILL SOON BE A REALITY! The sleeping bag originally started as an elaborate April Fool's joke, but ThinkGeek soon found out that the Star Wars-themed sleeping bags were what the world has been waiting for. Here are the specs from Think Geek's website:
- Classic Star Wars sleeping bag simulates the warmth of a Tauntaun carcass
- Built-in embroidered Tauntaun head pillow
- Plush Lightsaber zipper pull
- Great for playing pretend "Save Luke from the Wampa" games
- Teach your children about the best Star Wars movie ever
- Fully Licensed Lucasfilm™ Collectable
- Enough room for adults, plenty of space for kids
- 100% Polyester construction, Machine washable
- Bag Dimensions - 33" x 67" (not including head pillow or legs)
Start making some babies to fit in those sleeping bags, everybody!
