While at the Kotobukiya booth during New York Toy Fair this week, I was able to get a sneak peek at a fantastic new line of Star Wars culinary products launching in July. Their release is motivated by the huge success of last year's Star Wars chopsticks line, which is also being expanded with a special Darth Maul chopstick set. This new product will feature two red lightsaber chopsticks with magnet ends so that they can combine into the iconic dual-saber (when not in use for eating, of course).
Of all the products, the best in this group was the Han Solo in Carbonite ice tray:
As an added bonus, these silicone trays can be used for not just ice, but to mold jello, chocolate or whatever your favorite fluid of the week may be. I don't know about you, but I'll be having Solo brownies for my birthday!
There's also an R2-D2 tray launching at the same time for fans of the diminutive droid:
