Tauntaun Skin Rug

So one time I was in a fabric store and noticed some great faux fur that reminded me of of Tauntaun fur.  Immediately I texted my buddy Malaki (check out his awesome Iron Man costume!) and was like “could you make me a Tauntaun head outta foam so I can have a Tauntaun skin rug?”

He laughed for about five minutes then said “Of course!”  He presented it to me at my wedding.  It’s Hothian tradition, after all.

Malaki told me he had to present my present, I have an inkling as to what it is, notice my ridiculous nerd grin.

Thanks Johnny, we think so too! (Although I did have to convince my husband that it was to scale and not grossly oversized ;)

That looks really cool. I checked out his site, he has made a lot of cool stuff. My favorite is that Iron Man costume. Real. Boss.
