For those unfamiliar, the Figment Popcorn Bucket went viral last year after making its debut at EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts. Now, the festival is back for 2023 and so is the popcorn bucket. Starting January 13, 2023, the Figment Popcorn Bucket will be available for purchase at EPCOT. Like last year, the popcorn bucket is shaped like Fragment, a [small purple dragon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-to-train-your-dragon-x-lush) that is the mascot of the Imagination! pavilion at the Epcot theme park at Walt Disney World Resort. The 2023 version of the Figment Popcorn Bucket also features an EPCOT 40th Anniversary strap, which marks a special milestone for the park. Based on how fast this product sold out last year, fans should not delay if they want to get their hands on the new Figment Popcorn Bucket.
