In the realm of gaming memorabilia, novelty items often serve as little more than dust collectors once the hype fades. However, Capcom’s first aid kit popcorn bucket, launched as a collectible for the release of the Resident Evil movie, might actually be more practical than it first appears.
Instagram user pokicourtney has discovered the ultimate purpose for the green bag–storing physical copies of games from the Resident Evil franchise.
The popcorn bucket manages to hold a surprisingly dense amount of physical games across multiple console generations–13, in fact. There’s a mix of Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, and deluxe steelbook editions of titles spanning from the Resident Evil Origins Collection through to Resident Evil Village.
If you’re accustomed to carefully organizing your grid slots in your Resident Evil inventory, seeing a physical copy fit so cleanly into the first aid kit is incredibly satisfying.
While it was originally meant to hold snacks for moviegoers, turning the bag into a dedicated Resident Evil media container seems like a pretty good alternative purpose.
Despite initial skepticism, the Resident Evil movie surpassed expectations at the box office this weekend, bringing in more than $108 million. In our review, Eric Frederiksen said, “Zach Cregger sheds the camp and artifice to give us a truly exciting, tense, and disgusting Resident Evil movie.”
