So you’ve been freezing to death on the surface of Hoth, and spent the night sleeping inside of the smelly guts of your tauntaun pal to keep warm. Now that you’re done with your near-death experience, you’ve got to do something with that carcass, right?

Do you like disemboweled Tauntauns? Good, because Disney is releasing ten new Hoth-themed plush toys that include Leia, 2-1B, a Wampa, Luke, Han, and even a Tauntaun. Yes, a Tauntaun Tsum Tsum. That is way too much fun to say. The best part is that the Tauntaun is a carrier that you can open up and stuff your Tsum Tsums into. 

Halloween is a holiday that any adults and children of all ages can get behind. I love to see the custom costumes that people whip up each year, and the coolest kid’s costume I’ve ever seen is right here. Motorcycle leather artist Clinton Case created this epic cosplay for his son, earning him a nomination for Dad of the Year.

If it’s snowy outside where you are, you probably feel like you are on Hoth already. You might as well have a Tauntaun to ride. Redditor Xnipek posted this photo of their friend sitting on the back of an awesome snowman that he built.

We have seen plenty of plush toys from the Star Wars universe. The last time we talked Star Wars stuffed items,said stuffies were of spacecraft from the movies. This time out we get actual stuffed animals, assuming Jabba the Hutt is some sort of an animal.

This adorable crocheted Tauntaun will be a great addition to your other plush Star Wars toys. He will look great on your shelf, your couch, in your bed or wherever. He isn’t big enough to cut open if you are facing bitter cold temps though.

We already have Tauntaun sleeping bags from ThinkGeek, but they are expensive and maybe you want to wear your Tauntaun rather than sleep in it. Good thing for us, the folks at WeLoveFine are offering this awesome hoodie for just $59(USD).

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.

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.

Need some classy geek art to decorate your place with? Try this awesome Darth Vader riding a Tauntaun painting. It’s like the Dark Lord is in the Imperial cavalry, mounted on his noble Tauntaun steed. In the desert.

Poor Tauntauns. Why must people always be slicing them and jumping inside for warmth? Or sticking them with a pole and mounting them on a carousel? They are one of the cutest and most useful Star Wars animals and yet they get no respect.

I’ve seen some pretty impressive geek costumes over the years, but this one might just take the cake. This precision-engineered Tauntaun costume has to be way up there at the top of the list. Created by Scott Holden for the recent Zone Ball in Sacramento, this Tauntaun not only looks great, it actually walks.

Crafty Star Wars fans will have their goods on display this year at Stitch Wars this summer, and one contribution is this pair of plushies from The Empire Strikes Back. One part Luke, one part tauntaun, all chilling-in-innards fun.
