The KFC Krypto Collectible Bucket has been debuted by the QSR brand as a collaborative collectible created with DC Studios to help celebrate the upcoming release of Supergirl into theaters this summer.
The bucket is positioned by the brand as its first-ever collectible fried chicken bucket that features a figurine of Supergirl's dog Krypto sticking out of the top. The bucket is suited for both fried chicken and popcorn, and features the signature red and white color scheme for the base to make it instantly recognizable as a piece of QSR memorabilia.
The KFC Krypto Collectible Bucket is non-microwave-safe and will be available for fans to purchase from participating locations starting June 10 for $29.99. Supergirl will hit theaters in the US June 26, 2026.
