The Dune II Popcorn bucket made its mark on pop culture over the past month, from social media mayhem to an SNL sketch! We turned to one of its creators & former STN guest, Marcus Gonzalez (Zinc Group & former Walt Disney Co. CM), to talk about how theme park and movie theater collectibles have formed their own collecting subculture. From Disney Parks favorites like the Millennium Falcon bucket & Iron Man Infinity Gauntlet sipper to movie theater exclusives like the Dune and Dungeons & Dragons 20-sided Die Popcorn Buckets, it’s a fascinating industry and Marcus shares all the details. He even gives a tease of what’s to come for The Phantom Menace anniversary release on May 3rd.            SPONSORS     Small World Vacations is an official sponsor of Skywalking Through Neverland.
