The Mechagodzilla Popcorn Bucket is now on sale for $65 at Toho’s official Godzilla Store. It is also $75 at Alamo Drafthouse’s online shop and still at Alamo Drafthouse. The bucket holds 64 ounces of popcorn and has a jaw that moves. It is the bucket we first saw teased as a silhouette last December.
The details:
- Price: $65 at the Godzilla Store, $75 at Alamo Drafthouse online
- Size: 11 by 10 by 6.5 inches
- Holds 64 ounces
- Made of vinyl plastic, with an ABS back clutch
- Movable jaw
- A Godzilla Store and Alamo Drafthouse exclusive
What it looks like: It is the head of the original Mechagodzilla, the robot Godzilla from the 1974 movie Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. It is silver all over, with rows of rivets, yellow and orange eyes, red lights on the sides of the head and two cannons on the nose. Open the jaw, and you will see rows of teeth and two red-tipped missiles inside the mouth.
How it started: GeekDad reports the bucket was first only sold as a ticket add-on for Alamo Drafthouse screenings of Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, and each one is numbered as part of a limited run.
Compared to the Godzilla bucket: Alamo’s first Godzilla Popcorn Bucket was $45 and stood 12 inches tall. Mechagodzilla is a little smaller and costs $20 more at the Godzilla Store, or $30 more at Alamo.
Where to buy: Order on the Godzilla Store or Alamo Drafthouse’s online shop. Alamo limits it to one per customer.
Our take: If you want one, the Godzilla Store is the better deal at $10 less. The movable jaw and the missiles in the mouth make this one of the best-looking kaiju buckets out there. See every new bucket in our Movie Theater Popcorn Buckets guide.
