With the July 1 release of Minions & Monsters fast approaching, Illumination's beloved yellow troublemakers are gearing up for their biggest Hollywood adventure yet. And what better way to celebrate than with a collectible line that captures them in their most outrageous costumes? Super7 has partnered with Illumination for a new Fun! Fun! vinyl mini-figure series, and ShowtimeSpot has your exclusive first look at these pocket-sized treasures.
The blind-boxed figures offer five main characters from the film, plus 18 variants, making each unboxing a delightful surprise. Leading the pack is James, who appears in three distinct looks: a toga, a pirate outfit, and a sharp suit perfect for awards season. Meanwhile, Henry, Ed, and Dick each get one costume apiece, but they're no less spectacular—think an armored knight, a stoic cowboy, and a safari explorer. Each figure comes in either standard colors or a grayscale variant, evoking the feel of classic cinema eras. For the ultra-dedicated collector, there's even a one-of-a-kind Ultra Super Duper Mega Rare Ed in clear yellow (exclusive to Super7) and a marbled toga James (exclusive to Target).
Of course, no monster movie is complete without a monster, and this set includes Goomi, the big bad creature voiced by Trey Parker. With a Cthulhu-like head and a tiny body, Goomi is deceptively adorable—but don't be fooled. He's the one who leads the Minions into unleashing chaos on Hollywood. The figure stands 2.5 inches tall and comes in normal, glitter, and glow variants, making him a must-have for fans of the franchise.
Minions & Monsters marks the seventh entry in Illumination's blockbuster Despicable Me franchise, which has grossed over $5.6 billion worldwide. This time, the Minions take on Old Hollywood, accidentally summoning real monsters and must save the world from their own mess. Directed by Pierre Coffin, who also co-wrote the script with Brian Lynch, the film boasts a star-studded voice cast including Jeff Bridges, Allison Janney, Christoph Waltz, Jesse Eisenberg, Zoey Deutch, Bobby Moynihan, and Phil LaMarr.
For fans of animated adventures, this film promises to be a love letter to monster movies, blending the Minions' signature chaos with cinematic nods. And if you're already planning your theater trip, don't forget to check out the Super7 figures—they're the perfect way to bring a piece of the mayhem home. Keep an eye on Target and Super7's website for availability.
