July 17: Minions Fun

On July 10th, the Minions movie hits theaters nationwide. In celebration of the return of our favorite yellow friends, we’ll be hosting a Minions Fun event on July 17th. Our young customers will attend Villain-Con in our stores, searching for the biggest, baddest villain to follow. (All Minions need a despicable villain to follow!) Children will also learn some Minion Banana Language, get their own Minions Goggles, receive a Villain-Con Villains! Map, a Choose Your Villain! sticker sheet, and color a cast of villain characters. Contact your local store to sign up. And before the event begins, pick up these adorable products, sure to delight Minions fans young and old.

As the 1960s hit, they land at the feet of a supervillain named Scarlet Overkill, where they’ll face their biggest challenge since the dawn of time.

One Mystery Mini: Despicable Me
Order one of these windowless mystery boxes, and you won’t know who’s inside till you open it up. It could be a Minion, a Gru sister, Eduardo Perez in a luchador mask, Agnes’ stuffed unicorn, or another one of your favorite Despicable friends. We would call this the work of an evil villain, except that with such an array of awesome characters, everyone will feel like a winner.

Hula Minion
A Minion is cute, but a Minion who’s ready for a luau is beyond adorable. This 3 ¾” little vinyl henchman may not be ready to take over the world, but he’s sure ready to party, with a lei on his head, a coconut-shell bikini, and a little grass skirt. Hold him in your hand and we think you’ll be ready to party, too.

Cro-Minion Bob
We know Minions have been around since the dawn of time—and to be honest, they haven’t evolved much since then. Cro-Minion Bob is just as short, brutish, and lovable as his modern-day brethren.
