crayon

I don’t know if crayons actually work better when they come in novelty shapes, but I like to think so. And if that rule were true, these Han in Carbonite crayons would be the best functioning crayons ever. These mini Hans are available in a pack of eight and appear to be made from the ice trays released last year. If you can’t get enough of Star Wars crayons, the seller also offers R2-D2.
