AMC reveals exclusive Toy Story 5 popcorn bucket, Lorcana card, and collectible concessions
A new Buzz Lightyear popcorn bucket for “Toy Story 5” is finally official. Cinemark just unveiled a new lineup of collectible popcorn buckets, souvenir cups, tumblers, and themed snacks tied to Pixar’s upcoming sequel. The items, which launch ahead of the film’s June 19 debut, continue the growing trend of movie theater collectibles becoming must-have items for Disney and Pixar fans.
The theater chain’s promotion turns “Toy Story 5” into the latest addition to the growing trend of cinemas offering event-style merchandise experiences tied to major blockbuster openings.
Buzz Lightyear popcorn bucket lands at AMC
The centerpiece of AMC’s Toy Story 5 lineup is an exclusive Buzz Lightyear spaceship popcorn bucket inspired by the character’s iconic Space Ranger vehicle.
The oversized collectible bucket includes a large popcorn and features a retro-futuristic design themed to Buzz’s classic aesthetic from the Toy Story films. It’s in the slide of photos from AMC Theatre’s Instagram post below.
AMC also revealed a Pixar blind ball combo featuring:
- A small popcorn in a ball container with themed fountain drink
- One mystery pin
- One mystery topper collectible
The blind ball packaging includes several Pixar-inspired collectible designs featuring characters from Toy Story 5.
Dolby Cinema guests can receive a Disney Lorcana card
AMC is also partnering with Disney Lorcana for a limited-time opening weekend promotion. Guests who purchase tickets to see “Toy Story 5” in Dolby Cinema at AMC between June 18 and June 21 can receive an exclusive Buzz Lightyear Disney Lorcana trading card while supplies last. This is different than the new Pixar Lorcana cards released earlier this summer.
The collectible card features Buzz Lightyear as a “Space Ranger” character card and appears to be exclusive to the theatrical promotion.
AMC introduces the “Sheriff’s Swirl” ICEE
The chain is additionally debuting a themed ICEE drink called “Sheriff’s Swirl,” a blue raspberry and dragon fruit flavored frozen beverage inspired by Woody and Jessie.
Movie theater collectibles continue growing beyond popcorn buckets
The “Toy Story 5” rollout is the latest example of movie theaters expanding concession merchandise far beyond popcorn collectibles.
In the last year, collectible buckets, themed drink vessels, trading cards, and limited-time exclusives have increasingly become major parts of blockbuster movie marketing campaigns, with some items selling out before the opening weekend even ends.
Usually, once opening weekend has passed, AMC Theatres The Shop will have a collection of popcorn buckets available.
The popular Yoshi Bucket is still available, and “The Devil Wears Prada 2” popcorn handbag that sold out is available to order for a second run, which will ship on Aug. 30, 2026.
Besides AMC’s collection, Cinemark has its own “Toy Story 5” collection too! Both companies are clearly aiming to send guests to infinity — and beyond — when “Toy Story 5” arrives in theaters this summer.
