Frozen Han in carbonite ice-mold

I'm skeptical about a "talking R2D2 ice bucket," but I'm utterly sold by the fact that it comes with a Han Solo Frozen in Carbonite ice-cube mold! Now that'd be a classy cocktail! Link (via OhGizmo)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Wow, I so don’t want the ice bucket, but I bet I could use the Han mold for chocolate! And I could gold-dust it before putting the chocolate in, to give it that metallic appearance…oh well, they’re probably too small.

I guess you’re limited to highballs, either that or brake poor Han in half. Torrance, it was Luke that had his boots frozen to an ice cave ceiling on Hoth.

Especially since none of the sites give a size for either of these things. Damn it. If the ice tray is the size of a normal one, you’d have to bust them up to put them in the bucket. If they’re small enough for the bucket it’s going to take an AWFULLY long time to make enough ice, four cubes at a time!

@ #2: Chocolate Han.

Also, OHMYGOD I MUST HAVE THIS.
Jeff

Torrance, I always watch the first half hour of Empire, then ditch it until the end, just so I laugh at Luke. Ha ha ha, you have a worse father than me!
Tenn

You fail, Torrance.

I want. I want Han Solo cubes. I want Han Solo.
