Just kidding about the smell. It doesn’t smell like a real Tauntaun.

Rocking Horse Tauntauns: I Want to Rock and Roll All Night and Party on Hoth Every Day!

There is something special about old timey toys like rocking horses. They are simple and require a child to use their imagination. No fancy lights or voice activation here. Just good old fashioned play. Well, if you like the simplicity of the rocking horse, but want a geeky spin on it, look no further. I present to you the Tauntaun rocking horse.

They don’t smell like the real thing, thankfully and will provide hours of rocking fun, while you pretend that you are on Hoth. I’m not sure who made these, but they are awesome, and whoever did it needs to step forward so we can give them the credit they deserve.

Heck, I would use one of these as a chair and rock all day while I work. Kids shouldn’t have all the fun.

It is all Tauntaun up top, and also has a smooth satin lining that features printed images of intestines for added realism. Another bonus is that there is no Tauntaun smell.

The lightsaber zip pull is a nice touch. Too bad Han couldn’t cut open his Tauntaun with a zipper. This hoodie is perfect for harsh winters when you have to reach the first marker.

“Talking” Tauntaun Stuffed Animal Will Keep You Warm at Night

The Tauntaun was the best way to get around the frigid surface of the ice planet Hoth. It was also the place to keep warm if you were hypothermic, assuming you have a friend with a lightsaber ready to cut the beast open. ThinkGeek has a cute little Tauntaun plush that you don’t have to gut to keep you comfy at bedtime.

The little stuffed animal looks like a cuter cartoon version than the rather ugly horned animal Luke rode in The Empire Strikes Back. When you squeeze the stuffed animal it makes authentic sounding noises that you’ll recognize from the film. You know, things like “RRREREOREROOERRRRR….”

The plush toys were made for Star Wars Celebration Europe II, and carry that name on the foot. Each one measures 12-inches toes to ears and 15-inches nose to tail.

ThinkGeek says that these are very limited edition and once they’re gone, no more will be produced. So put on your warmest winter garb and head over there now to pick up your own stuffed Tauntaun for $29.99(USD).

I wonder if you could install a zipper into its chest and stick your Luke Skywalker action figure inside.

Tauntaun 12″ Talking Plush looks cute

tauntaun-plushAre you a huge fan of Star Wars? It is a space opera that has full of intrigue, action, and some romance thrown into the mix as well. Most of the themes tend to be rather grown up in nature, but once in a while, it is nice to make things smaller – so that it looks cuter. Tauntauns tend to be cute in the first place if you like real life animals like camels and the yak, except that this is part of a science fiction setting. This $29.99 Tauntaun 12″ Talking Plush loves to be hugged, as when that happens, it will be able to make little bleats and gurgles.

Not only is it cute, it is also highly collectible, since it is made in limited quantities being a Star Wars Celebration Europe II (2013) exclusive. This makes it the ideal addition to for any serious Star Wars collector, where it boasts a tridactyl rear foot which sports a “Star Wars Celebration Europe” that is embroidered at the bottom. Once the pair of LR44 batteries die off, he will no longer bellow whenever you hug his neck. Well, what are you waiting for? Once they’re gone, they’re literally extinct unless you scour online auction and sales sites.

Tauntaun Skin Rug: They Don’t Smell That Bad on the Outside

Tauntauns make great rugs – great sleeping bags too when you are in the freezing cold of Hoth and don’t care how it’s insides smell. This tauntaun skin rug was designed by Malaki Keller and is 100% awesome.

It was designed as a 1:1 scale version of a tauntaun for Autumn Massey – who came up with the whole idea. Yeah, I knew my living room was missing something, but I was thinking more of an Ewok rug. Now that I see this Tauntaun, I might have to go with that.

It looks nice and soft and you have to love the details. Those horns and eyes are great. Best of all it doesn’t make that annoying Tauntaun sound.
