Elaborate movie tie-in popcorn buckets are all the rage these days at movie theaters. These buckets are pricy — clearly a cash grab in the era of dwindling ticket sales — but they’re often cleverly designed, and they act as collectibles for fans of the franchises they represent. It seems that the people at Amazon have noticed this trend and wondered: what if we made an expensive popcorn bucket for a TV show? The result is a Fallout-themed popcorn bucket (see it at Amazon) for fans of the popular Prime Video show.
The bucket is designed to look like a rusty barrel, painted with chipping blue paint and emblazoned with “VAULT-TEC” on its side. Though I’m somewhat annoyed by the entire concept of the thing, I have to admit it looks pretty great. This Amazon-exclusive collectible is up for preorder now for $24.99. It releases January 29, just in time for the Fallout season 2 finale, which airs February 4.
The bucket is smaller than it might appear, with dimensions of 8.27 x 8.27 x 10.24 inches, meaning it’s not quite a foot tall. However, I doubt many people will actually make popcorn and eat it out of this thing while watching Lucy MacLean, Maximus, and The Ghoul go about their business in the Wasteland. It’s a collectible, meant to be placed on a shelf for display. And if it looks as good in person as it does in the pictures, it should appeal to plenty of Fallout fans.
In other Fallout collectible news, you can pick up four new Fallout TV Funko Pop figures: a giant Deathclaw, the robo-cowboy Victor, as well as Hank MacLean in Power Armor and Caesar. Those are out May 24. And if you’re a super-fan, you can preorder a working Pip-Boy replica from the IGN Store, set to release in June. In the meantime, you can check out our reviews of all the Fallout episodes that have been released so far.
