Han Solo in Carbonite ice-molds

ThinkGeek has added to the vast canon of housewares and edibles that pay homage to Han Solo in Carbonite with varisized hancarbonite silicone ice-molds.

ThinkGeek :: Star Wars Han Solo in Carbonite Ice Cube Tray

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.

When I first saw the pic, before I read anything I thought it was a counterfeiting mold.

Also, has anyone else noticed the increase in star wars product placement/mentions on tv shows lately?

Is there a way to make dark ice cubes that don’t make your drink black as they melt ? Doesn’t seem easy…

Proud to say that my wife bought this for me earlier this week… at our local comic store, natch!

These need Steve Buscemi’s big googly head instead of Harrison Ford’s.

These seem to be selling out everywhere. I put an order in last night through a seller on Amazon.

This is perfect for the freezer I am painting to look like Slave I.

Cory! For the love of god! Look at the “previously” box! Half of your posts involve things frozen in carbonite! Enough with the carbonite! There’s more to live than freezing things in carbonite!

Does anyone else think this glorifies imprisonment? I know it’s just an ice cube tray, but it would be like buying a bar of soap in the shape of a slave ship. It just doesn’t quite feel right.

  If I could get soap in the shape of Slave I, I’d only ever want to take baths.

  Not only does it glorify imprisonment, but it demonstrably displays an insensitivity to prison rape and the problem of Correctional Officer unions manipulating the voting landscape, not to mention gerrymandering. Would that everyone was as vigilant as we.

Forget the ice… can it take the temp of melted chocolate? This is the important question

Edit… yes it can.
- unmoris
  
  Yes, indeed it can. I’ve done a few batches myself.

I use them for freezing. I never thought I’d be freezing myself in them.

Got them on tuesday. It’s every bit as awesome and worth it. I needed new ice trays. So hooray.

After hurricane nightmare Han Solo Jello shots are GO.

When I was a kid I would take my Han Solo figure and drop him in a cup of water, then put it in the freezer. Pull the cup out later, run under warm water, and viola.

Then my mom sold all my Star Wars toys (including the Millennium Falcon - http://theswca.com/images-toys/figuretoys/falcon.html) and sold them at a yard sale. It still pains me to even think about it.

  I could never forgive my parents if they did that to me… D: I still play with the stuff I have… :P

forget melted chocolate…try melted low temp solder, who wouldn’t want a real metal cast of hans.
