Disneyland AT-AT popcorn bucket

[Lumberjack Nick 164]

Recently Disney started selling AT-AT popcorn buckets at their parks. I live near Disneyland and was just there and saw these popcorn buckets and was tempted to buy one, but they are $25 and didn’t want to spend the cash. I ran across this on Instagram just now and it has me tempted to go back to Disneyland soon and pick one up! What do you all think? It looks close to scale. You can’t tell in these photos but the legs are fully posable. The guy whose photos these are said he’s going to paint it.

Edit: it won’t let me share any more photos. I guess they are too big. Check out his Instagram for the rest of the photos. @briankesinger

I'm worried it's a bit short, but I can't tell.

Too short for an AT-AT

Correct. Although in terrain-work I can see it working well

[DOMSWAT911 436]

Maybe the scale is not perfect...

But at least, he will have a AT-AT on the field

Is the AT-ST in the photo the same size as Legion's? If so I think the AT-AT looks fine. It's a little bit too small but not overly so.

I think it's the AT-ST from Imperial Assault

Id love one but in the UK so no chance without paying crazy shipping costs.

Not entirely in scale but good enough for $25. nice!

 

I have the UK shipping issue sadly

I hope they sell these in Orlando in Walt Disney World. If it's too small no big deal for me. These would be turned into downed AT-AT's anyway. Living 20 minutes frok Disney will have a new advantage!

They are on ebay for $30 on up.

Man, I might have to get one of those. They look awesome!

According to Wookieepedia, an AT-ST is 9 m tall, and a AT-AT is 22 1/2 m tall.  If the photo above does not have too much depth change due to position, the AT-AT looks over twice the height of the AT-ST, but not three times.  Probably pretty close.

Perhaps a unpopular opinion, but I’d rather get a popcorn bucket sized AT-AT than no AT-AT at all. I’m fine with some scale reduction.

I think it would make a great terrain piece for Hoth.

Looks close enough. Can always cut it down and put it into terrain ... or you can just plop it on the table and fill it with popcorn.

Here’s an updated photo. Looks sooooooooo cool!

Customed Popcorn Bucket

Im getting mine soon. Question: I’m new to painting. It looks like he just brushed Nuln Oil on. No primer or anything else. Is that correct?

[Extropia 1,475]

The detail on that actually looks better than the Revell model, especially the head. Nice!

[Hrathen 1,463]

What does the top look like.  Every picture so far looks totally awesome, but it is a popcorn bucket right?

It's a flop open top.  When its closed it looks correct.

 

I got mine last weekend, and I'm painting it now!

With or without popcorn?

I am a novice painter/modeler also.  If you look at the original photo, the hue of the AT-AT is very light and shiny.  It looks like, well, plastic.  The second photo you included has it looking a light grey and, then, grimy with depth via Nulin Oil.

If I had to guess, a light primer and spray of light grey paint or even just a light coat of spray/air brushed grey primer and, then, the Nulin Oil, as the plastic sheen and "look" is gone.

Wanna give a quick tutorial on how you're doing it? I'd also love to see some photos of yours. I'm getting mine soon and I'm brand new to painting and worried I'll mess it up.

I use the Tamiya spray color "light ghost grey" for all my tie fighters in Armada, so I first sprayed the whole thing with that.  It was a huge improvement from the jump. 

Next up I'm going to give it a wash with bulb oil, try and add some streaks and staining, maybe some blaster scoring and call it a day. It really is a nice model considering it's a popcorn bucket.

So need to get one of these...
