Star Wars Severed Luke Skywalker and Wampa Hand Magnets

Adding to Regal Robot’s Separation Collection, the company has introduced two new magnets: a severed Luke Skywalker hand holding a lightsaber and a severed wampa hand. These are joining the previously posted tauntaun head magnet that was the first in the collection. Am I gonna catch ’em all like Pokémon? I’m pretty sure my fridge would hate me if I didn’t.

Each magnet costs $30, is cast from solid resin, and hand-painted by Regal Robot’s artists. Can you make a special request for some blood splatter on the wampa arm? No, unfortunately, you’ll have to add those finishing touches yourself once the magnets arrive.

In the coming months, the hands will soon be joined by yet another addition to the collection, which from the image above is very clearly a severed C-3P0 arm, and not Jar Jar Binks’ severed head like you might have guessed if you’re a terrible, but wishful guesser.

This Tauntaun Handbag Doesn’t Smell Bad on the Outside or Inside

When it comes to Star Wars movies, many of us agree that The Empire Strikes Back was still the best of the nine film Skywalker Saga. Among its many contributions to the lore of Star Wars were the tauntauns that Luke and Han rode around in the snow on Hoth. And now, you can tote around your everyday essentials inside of a tauntaun fur bag.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, Loungefly has created a pair of accessories look like they came straight from the ice planet’s surface. First up is the larger item, a sherpa cross-body bag that features diamond stitching, a debossed Empire logo, and an imperial metal plaque on front. In addition to your phone, wallet, and keys, it’s a great place to keep your Luke Skywalker action figure warm.

Don’t need a new purse? Then keep your imperial credits (and credit cards) inside of the matching tauntaun zip-around wallet, which features fur on one side, and a shiny, iridescent faux leather on its backside.

We’ve been assured that no actual tauntauns were harmed in the making of these bags, so before you go all PETA on these guys, stop it. The larger bag sells for $70, while the wallet is just $40. Either or both would make swell gifts for a Star Wars lover on your shopping list. Both are available while supplies last from Loungefly.

Wampa and Space Slug Snow Globes: From The Empire Strikes Back Souvenir Shop

Despite numerous Star Wars films being released in the 3+ decades since its release, The Empire Strikes Back is still the best movie in the saga for many of us. Sure, The Force Awakens was very good, but it’s a tall hill to climb to best the 1980 classic.

In recognition of this fact, ThinkGeek has released a couple of fun Episode V collectible snow globes, and they’re both pretty awesome. First up is the Wampa Cave snow globe.

It recreates a the classic scene in an icy cave on Hoth, as Luke hangs upside-down by his boots, while he attempts to use the Force to pull his lightsaber from the snow. He eventually breaks free, and slices off the wampa’s arm, but in the snow globe version, he’s permanently stuck in the ceiling, and isn’t going anywhere. At least unless you crack it open with a hammer – which I don’t recommend.

The other scene isn’t quite as snow-appropriate, but nonetheless is just as awesome – as the Millennium Falcon breaks free from giant Exogorth Space Slug. This is no cave! But we’re still trapped in a giant snow globe!

Both Empire Strikes Back snow globes are available exclusively from ThinkGeek. The wampa cave is going for $39.99, while the space slug is just $19.99, but has a much smaller snow globe.

Star Wars Snack Bowls Fill Your Sarlacc Pit with Nummies

My only complaint about these Star Wars Snack Bowls is that there is no Sarlacc Pit, which would have made complete sense, but at least you can use these to fill your own bottomless Sarlacc Pit of a stomach.

You can now eat from the upside down heads of Chewbacca, Jabba the Hutt, or a Wampa. Clearly they are running out of licensing ideas.

Admittedly, these ceramic bowls are weird and creepy, but your love for all things Star Wars knows no bounds, so snack away, taking food from their mouths and putting it into yours.

They are $16.99(USD) each from ThinkGeek. A tauntaun lying down and cut open would have also been a great idea. I would love to snack from that bowl.

Wampa Slippers

wampa slippers Wampa Slippers
You’re probably thinking to yourself, didn’t Craziest Gadgets cover Wampa Slippers once before? To that I say, damn you have a good memory, that was over 4 years ago- are you Rain Man or something? Sidebar, am I still allowed to make Rain Man references or am I severely dating myself? Regardless, if your house is as cold as a Hoth night, warm up your feet with these toasty Wampa Slippers.

Unlike the pair we featured back in the days of yore (2010), this is an officially produced pair and not some DIY job that you will never actually make. To get these all you need to make is the money. They’re fuzzy, as all Wampas are, and have little grippy dots on the bottom to keep you from slipping. Just how nature and George Lucas intended it to be. Comes in small and large (or as we prefer: Leia and Luke sizes). Geeky yet functional, just like you.

DIY Wampa Taxidermy Head Made from Paper and Lots of Awesome

I’ve always thought it was creepy to hang the heads of dead animals on your wall. They always look like they are watching you as you move around the room. If you are a big fan of The Empire Strikes Back, you might not mind hanging this animal head on your wall.

What we have here is a DIY Wampa head made out of cardboard boxes, newspaper, tape, glue, faux fur, and a few other household items. It looks a lot like paper mache, but it’s not. It was made by the fine folks at OurNerdHome, and its builders say they spent only about $20 on the project.

While there aren’t step-by-step instructions, the images do give you an idea of what you need to do to make your own. I wonder what kind of fur was used. It looks sort of like the fur on that Wampa rug we talked about a while back.

This is certainly one of the coolest DIY Star Wars projects I have seen.

Plush Wampa Backpack

It’s cold on Hoth, you don’t want to carry things in your hands- keep those in your pockets. Instead carry your things in a Plush Wampa Backpack Plush Wampa Backpack. It’s just like a real Wampa, only shrunken down, hollowed out, and with straps. Sure he’s all arms and legs and thus doesn’t hold that much in the “belly of the beast” but what little he can hold, he holds so cutely. Anything that doesn’t fit, you can just use the Force to make it fit, right?

Star Wars Taxidermy is Perfect for Jabba’s Palace

Who among us hasn’t dreamed about mounting a Rancor head above their fireplace? The problem is, it isn’t easy to travel to another star system and travel back in time to hunt one down. I guess that’s the problem with all of the Star Wars creatures.

I mean, check out that Bantha head. How awesome does that look mounted above the fireplace?

How about a Wampa head? A Gungan? A Gungan I would love to see. Especially Jar Jar. I have a special place reserved for him just where I can throw stuff at him.

These photos are all from Tauntr and they are all Photoshopped, but I would love to be able to buy these. You hear that Kickstarter? Please someone make this real. If nothing else, I need Jar Jar’s head now.

Go full Jedi on your car this Winter with a Star Wars Severed Wampa Arm Ice Scraper Star Wars Wampa Arm Ice Scraper. Just as Luke Skywalker did on Hoth, now you can scrape your windshield with the arm of a Wampa (I believe the scene of Luke scraping ice from his Chevette was actually left on the cutting room floor, but trust me, it was killer).

Wampa Plush Hat: When Tautaun Guts Aren’t Enough to Keep You Warm

All of Luke’s friends know that if you want to scare the heck out of him, you just need to wear a Wampa hat. Hey, it was a traumatic experience. Being hung upside-down on the ceiling of an ice cave is bound to leave it’s scars. Sometimes they will just sneak up on him and give him a good scare. Sometimes they lose a limb to a lightsaber of course.
Wampa Plush Hat
Seriously, this Wampa hat is awesomely nerdy. I want to wear it in the winter time and hide in the snow, scaring nerds as I growl. This neat hat is one-size fits most and it is made of 100% polyester and faux fur, just like an actual Wampa.

It’s only $19.95(USD) from Neatoshop. It is a great geeky way to keep your head warm even if it does make Luke nervous.
