Roll out to Universal Orlando Resort for the new Optimus Prime Popcorn Bucket. This $34.99 light-up collectible includes a free popcorn fill.
If you’re a Transformers fan visiting Universal Orlando Resort, get ready to add a collector’s item to your inventory. The Universal theme parks have a history of releasing highly themed, mostly functional souvenirs. The newest arrival, the Autobot Optimus Prime Popcorn Bucket, is an impressive addition to the lineup. Our team recently spotted this detailed new bucket.
Optimus Prime Popcorn Bucket: The Breakdown
This Optimus Prime Popcorn Bucket represents a significant departure from standard designs, as it is a fully realized, articulated figure of Optimus Prime rather than a simple character head. The level of detail is solid, as the bucket is modeled directly after the Generation 1 version of the Autobot leader, featuring his classic red, blue, and silver color scheme.
The standout feature that takes this souvenir to the next level is the integrated electronics. Blue LEDs are located inside the eyes, and when activated, the optic sensors glow with a vibrant light, creating a spectacular display. Functionality is also cleverly integrated: the popcorn compartment is accessed via a hinged hatch on the back of the bucket. To make it easier to carry during a long park day, the figure comes with a themed lanyard featuring the Transformers logo. While primarily a snack container, the figure even shows some arm movement at the shoulders. allowing fans to pose their leader for the perfect vacation photo.
The Pricing
This premium souvenir carries a premium price tag. The Optimus Prime Popcorn Bucket is priced at $34.99. However, the purchase includes your first popcorn fill free. After purchasing the bucket, you can get refills at participating popcorn carts throughout the Universal Orlando Resort theme parks for a discounted rate under three dollars.
