Cup toppers are one of the most fun movie collectibles. They're small sculpted figures that sit on the lid of a movie cup, turning a drink into a mini character display. Here's everything you need to know about mystery toppers and topper sets.
What is a cup topper?
A cup topper is a character figure designed to fit on top of a movie promo cup. Each one is made for a specific film, and most releases have several characters to collect.
How mystery toppers work
A cup with a mystery topper comes with one topper chosen at random from that movie's lineup. You won't know which character you have until you open it. That surprise is half the fun, and it's why fans trade and collect them.
- Moana 44 oz Promo Cup with Mystery Topper: one of Pua, Hei Hei or Maui's hook.
- Supergirl Cup Kara with Mystery Topper: one of Krypto, Kara or Lobo.
- Toy Story 5 Cup with Mystery Topper: one topper from the Toy Story 5 lineup.

Mystery cup or topper set?
- Choose a mystery cup if you want a cup to use and you enjoy the surprise.
- Choose a topper set if you're a completist who wants every character, or you're buying a gift and want a guaranteed favorite.
- Get both to display the full set on matching cups.
Tips for collectors
- Remove the topper before washing the cup, and wipe the topper with a damp cloth instead of soaking it.
- Display toppers on a shelf or in a small case to keep them dust-free.
- Keep the cup and topper together. A complete pair is the best display piece.
