Okay, let me be real here; I’ve never cared about popcorn buckets before these were announced. Now, we can confirm that MULTIPLE Alien:Romulus-themed popcorn buckets are being released, and they may just make us jealous of being American.
Novelty popcorn buckets are apparently a trend right now, thanks to Dune: Part II and apparently Deadpool & Wolverine. But xenomorph popcorn buckets just seem on another level, and now I care.
Seriously, these popcorn buckets are something else, and they’re coming from. Fandango is releasing a Facehugger-themed bucket, with two xenomorph designs coming from Regal Cinemas and Cinemark.
So, here’s my plea; can SOMEONE please send Geek Native (all the way over here in Scotland) one of these bad boys?! I mean, just lookit ’em:

Its structural perfection is matched only by it’s collectability.

Seriously, if someone can get one of these over to us at Geek Native Towers, we will call it Steve and we will make an entire feature where we take it on the best sightseeing trip around Edinburgh. We’ll feed him/her haggis, take them to Tabletop Scotland, play video games with them – anything!
Alien: Romulus is due to be released on 16th August, and we will love you forever if you can get a Xenomorph Steve to us. We’ll be waiting patiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
What do you think of these Alien: Romulus popcorn buckets? Do you want one as much as we do? Start the conversation in the comments.
