Each April first, Think Geek taunts us with their fake April Fool’s Day products. While nothing will ever top the Tauntaun sleeping bag, this year’s imaginary product list includes a big-mouthed Mon Calamari, an inflatable captain’s chair, and the chance to smell like Daenerys Targaryen.
I’m convinced that the April Fool’s Day products have been less a gag and more a market test to see which products the public will demand. So what will it be this year? I know more than a few people who would like Minecrat marshmallows in their Easter baskets, but that inflatable Enterprise chair would look great in my living room.
Edit: ThinkGeek emailed to let me know that the captain’s chair is real. Excellent.
Star Wars Admiral Ackbar Singing Bass: Plays the cantina song and shouts “It’s a Trap!” Sure to delight one person in the household and drive everyone else bonkers.
Star Trek Inflatable Captain’s Chair: Maximum weight 120 lbs, so this one’s only for the petite captains in your life.
Free Shrugs T-shirt: Because if you’re giving it away, you might as well advertise it.
Minecraft Marshmallow Creeps: For people who prefer pixels to bunny ears.
Skyrim Electronic Dragon Shout Hoodie: Perfect for when you spot those pesky dragons overhead.
Technomancer Digital Wizard Hoodie: Lights and sounds let you pretend you’re casting 10 different spells.
