Love them or hate them, you can’t deny that the Minions are a pretty iconic element of pop culture that is here to stay – at least for now.
Something about these babbling, giggling, farting, mischievous little yellow creatures sticks in our minds and our hearts too. And of course, they are particularly popular with young kids, who have a lot in common with Minions – they’re cheeky, easily distracted, love toilet humor and often don’t make sense, but they can also be surprisingly clever!
Although Despicable Me and its sequels appeal mostly to the little ones, Minions fans come in all shapes and sizes. So while most of the toys on this list are aimed at preschoolers and early elementary schoolers, I have made sure to include a few specifically for older kids and teens as well.
When choosing a Minions toy for your little Minion, make sure to pick one that’s age-appropriate and suits their current interests and skill levels. You shouldn’t have any difficulty, because I took my time compiling as many high quality options as possible, covering different types of play and a wide budget range.

This one really brings the wow-factor!

4. Minions: The Rise of Gru Construction Playset
This construction playset is budget-friendly and yet guaranteed to have kids rolling on the floor laughing. The main concept is using the launcher to projectile-launch one of the squishy Splat ‘Em Minion figures at particular targets or objects on the wall. These little minions really do stick when launched at something, and it’s hilarious when they end up in weird positions and angles!
| Recommended age: 4 years and above |
What’s great about this set is that the box is the playset itself, and easily folds up into a compact toy you can carry and bring along on your travels. The box even looks like a big Minion head!

Minion Plush Toys
5. Minions Bob Plush
This adorable Bob plush makes the perfect bedtime companion, because not only is he wonderfully squishy and huggable, but even his goggles are soft so there’s nothing to feel hard and uncomfortable. He’s also extremely well made and durable, so it’s not a problem if your kid loves their plushies hard – with such a cute face, it’s difficult not to!
| Recommended age: 2 years and above |
This plush is as light as an apple, which makes him easy to take along wherever you want. And because he’s so soft and squishy, he makes a great travel pillow for plane rides and road trips too!

When he’s in the mood, he might even offer up some iconic sounds and sayings too.
| Recommended age: 3 years and above |
Several customers noted that this Kevin plush is clearly very well made with a lot of attention to detail in the design. Even the sound quality of his giggles is good – clear and realistic without being too annoying!

❤️ It giggles and makes noises that sound just like in the movies
❤️ It’s a very well made sizable plush at an affordable price
❤️ Good sound quality and attention to detail
What We Don’t Love:

💔 A couple of customers received products with faulty sound mechanisms
7. Minions Roller Skate Stuart Interactive Plush
We’ve shown you a basic plush and one that giggles and talks, but how about one that can do all that as well as skate to the beat of a funky song? This interactive Stuart plush can not only skate forward and backward on his groovy roller skates, he can even spin around and do the splits! Simply press his hand to activate him and watch him go.
| Recommended age: 3 years and above |
Dancing skating Stuart is a delight to watch, especially with his awesome light-up skates. And at 14 inches tall, he’s quite a sight and will captivate all your kid’s friends too!

❤️ The light-up roller skates are ultra cool
❤️ It’s a nice big size and has a good battery life

Minion Action Figures
8. Imaginext Minions The Rise of Gru Figure Pack
A pack of figures is a great way to keep kids occupied for hours, and because they’re small and don’t make a noise you can bring them everywhere from the airplane to the doctor’s office. This set comes with a young Gru and Belle Bottom as well as the adorable Stuart, Kevin, Otto and Bob Minions.
| Recommended age: 3-8 years |
You’ll love the quality of these figures, and your kids will love how much they can move with all their articulated joints. They also make great cake toppers, though I hope you’ll get some play out of them too as they are such fantastic action figures!
What We Love:
❤️ Versatile compact figures that make great toys or cake toppers
❤️ These are very sturdy, detailed and high quality figures
❤️ Feature posable limbs and authentic facial expressions
What We Don’t Love:
💔 Gru and Belle Bottom can’t really stay standing by themselves
💔 They are very small
9. Kevin Interactive Action Figure
The Minions are famous for their adorably incomprehensible babbling, and this Kevin figure lives up to that by providing character-specific chatter, song and laughter whenever you press down on his head. His hands also have a universal grip to hold the included banana accessory or anything else you want him to, which expands the storytelling possibilities.
| Recommended age: 4 years and above |
Although Kevin is super cute and fun by himself, it’s even more fun if you get one of the other Sing ‘n Babble Minion figures because then they can chatter to each other! It’s hilarious to see them interact and react to one another’s babbles.
What We Love:
❤️ He makes loads of hilariously authentic Minions sounds and phrases
❤️ The sound quality is nice and clear
❤️ It stands up on it’s own and doesn’t fall when you push his head to make him talk
What We Don’t Love:
💔 You need to buy the other Minion figures separately if you want to see them interact with each other
💔 The banana he comes with is small enough to be a choking hazard for young children
| 💡 TIP: Get this accompanying Stuart action figure and watch them interact and babble together hilariously. |
10. Skate Spinning Stuart Action Figure
For those who liked the skating Stuart plush we mentioned earlier but want something more affordable, check out this skating spinning option. This Stuart uses a twist and release function to get him going, then you can watch him defy the laws of physics as he spins around like crazy! He also has universal handgrip, making him compatible with lots of other playsets and accessories.
| Recommended age: 4 years and above |
This Stuart is one of a range of small Minion toys with hilarious functions, so you might end up collecting them all eventually! However, he’s a hoot all on his own with his adorable rollerblades and headphones.
What We Love:
❤️ Very versatile as he has a universal handgrip to hold accessories
❤️ His rollerblades and headphones are super cute
❤️ It’s fun to watch him spin and he makes a great travel toy or desk ornament too
What We Don’t Love:
💔 His limbs are not posable
💔 His clothing is not super detailed
11. Black Belt Bob Action Figure
If your kid loves Bob the Minion or is obsessed with kung fu, this is the action figure that will delight them the most. Every time you press Bob’s zipper, he’ll do something, but you’ll never know what it’s going to be – any combination of martial arts moves, laughs, kung-fu sound effects and possibly farts could follow!
| Recommended age: 4 years and above |
In his orange jumpsuit, Bob is ready for anything. However, his poor teddy bear Tim doesn’t seem so ready as Bob swings him around like Nunchucks! This toy has all the zany hilarity we expect from the Minions and luckily he’s sturdy and durable too.
What We Love:
❤️ It’s sturdy and durable and a good size
❤️ His random movements and sounds are pretty hilarious
❤️ The way he swings around his poor long-suffering teddy like nunchucks is a nice touch
What We Don’t Love:
💔 The sounds can become pretty annoying
💔 It would be nice if he could do more movements
| 💡 TIP: Stretch out the fun to even greater lengths with this arm-stretch Bob action figure featuring extendable arms. |
12. Funko Mystery Minis – Minions: The Rise of Gru
A Mystery Mini Minion is a great stocking filler or affordable gift for kids of all ages. Funko Pops are usually more attractive to older kids as they’re meant for display, and the minis especially make great desk or windowsill ornaments. However, they’re also suitable for play, and young kids will love the mystery element as you don’t know which Minion you’re going to get until you open it!
| Recommended age: 3 years and above |
Minions are already extremely stylized with oversized heads, so they lend themselves perfectly to the Funko look. Each mini is brimming with character and highly detailed despite the small size.
What We Love:
❤️ Simply adorable mini Minions that are brimming with character
❤️ Provides the quality and attention to detail you expect from Funko Pop
❤️ Perfect for kids who like mysteries as you don’t know who you’re going to get
What We Don’t Love:
💔 It’s quite pricey considering the size
💔 The fact that you can’t choose your minion may be a downside for some
LEGO Minions Sets
13. LEGO Minions: The Rise of Gru: Minion Pilot in Training (75547)
If your little Minion is around 4, it might be a good time to get them their first LEGO set. This one is a great option for beginners as there are only a few pieces to put together, so kids can get familiar with LEGO pieces without becoming too overwhelmed. And of course, it’s a great option for Minions fans too!
| Recommended age: 4 years and above |
Along with the airplane, this set also comes with Stuart and Bob figures as well as lots of accessories like a banana and a fart blaster! Plus, the airplane’s roof is detachable to make it easier to play inside it.
What We Love:
❤️ A great first LEGO set as the assembling is very simple
❤️ Comes with some fun accessories like a banana and a sausage
❤️ The roof is detachable so you can play with the Minions inside the airplane
What We Don’t Love:
💔 Some elements may come apart when subjected to rough preschooler play
💔 It’s not ideal if you want more of a building experience as there’s not a lot to put together
14. LEGO Minions: The Rise of Gru: Minions Kung Fu Battle (75550)
For a slightly more extensive set to challenge older preschoolers and young elementary schoolers, check out this action-packed Minions Kung Fu Battle set.

This is one of those sets that has it all – detail, beauty, interactive functions and even a Minion catapult launcher!
| Recommended age: 6 years and above |
This set comes with Kevin and Stuart figures who are going through their kung-fu training, plus an Otto figure to encourage them. And in between their training, they can also have fun carrying the colorful Chinese dragon.

❤️ Packed with action features like a rotating training dummy and fireworks
❤️ The Minion minifigs are adorable in their kung fu outfits carrying their dragon float
What We Don’t Love:
💔 Doesn’t include Bob who is many kids’ favorite Minion

| 💡 TIP: If you love the action-packed sets, you’ll also love this one of the Unstoppable Bike Chase from The Rise of Gru film. |
15. LEGO Minions Bob Minion with Robot Arms Building Kit 30387
LEGO can be bulky and pricey, but they do come in compact, budget-friendly sets, such as this one of Bob with his robot arms. For such a small set, there’s an impressive amount of detail and playability here, from the articulated robot arms to the machinery they interact with. There’s even a small bottle of potion and the all-important banana for sustenance!
| Recommended age: 6 years and above |
What’s nice about this set is that Bob can get out of the cockpit, so he’s not stuck with robot arms – you can play with him on his own or with other Minions sets too!
What We Love:
❤️ Though it’s a small and budget-friendly set, the level of detail is phenomenal
❤️ Bob’s robot arms have several points of articulation
❤️ You can remove Bob from the cockpit and take off the arms
What We Don’t Love:
💔 Some of the pieces are quite finicky for a 6-year-old
💔 It’s a very small set so there’s not much to build
16. LEGO BricksHeadz Minions 40421
Most Minion toys are aimed at younger kids, so this is a fantastic option if you’re buying for an older Minions fan. BrickHeadz is a range of stylized, buildable LEGO figures with giant heads and a pixelated look. With this set, you can build Belle Bottom as well as Bob and Kevin in their kung-fu getup.
| Recommended age: 10 years and above |
These figures will look adorable on any desk, shelf or windowsill. I especially love Kevin’s little tuft of hair and his nunchucks! Each figure comes with its own sturdy base plate for easy displaying, but you can easily take them off to play with them too.
What We Love:
❤️ BrickHeadz are always adorable and great value, and this set is no different
❤️ There are 3 characters to build which make excellent desk ornaments
❤️ There are some secrets to discover as you build
What We Don’t Love:
💔 The builds are pretty small
💔 They are meant for displaying so they don’t have any interactive features
| 💡 TIP: Your BrickHeadz Minions collection won’t be complete without Gru, Stuart and Otto as well. |
Minions Vehicles
17. Hot Wheels Minions Bundle 6-Pack of Cars
The Hot Wheels label comes with a lot of credibility, and this 6-pack of die-cast vehicles provide the level of quality you would expect from the brand. Each car is extremely detailed and instantly recognisable as one of the Minion characters. These are at once exquisite collectibles and awesome toy cars that zoom across the floor with an impressive velocity!
| Recommended age: 3 years and above |
Kids will love unboxing these cars as they come in a striking Minion eye box and each one is behind a little door almost like an advent calendar. The box also works great for storage when it’s time to put them away.
What We Love:
❤️ Super durable and roll well like all Hot Wheels
❤️ The cars are ingeniously designed to reflect each Minion’s unique characteristics
❤️ The box is great for storage and has features that make opening it more fun
What We Don’t Love:
💔 They are very small
💔 While the durability is good overall, a couple of customers noted that the paint chipped
18. Gru’s Motorcycle
Another great option for those who look for craftsmanship and attention to detail in their toys is this replica of Gru’s motorcycle, which naturally comes with a young Gru as well as a Stuart figure. And these figures are more than just add-ons – with their amazing detail and multiple points of articulation, they are excellent toys in their own right!
| Recommended age: 4 years and above |
Not to be outdone, Gru’s bike also has its fair share of impressive features, like wheels that roll and a working kickstand. The whole set comes together to make a fantastic toy that will inspire endless imaginative play scenarios!
What We Love:
❤️ A very well made and surprisingly large toy
❤️ The bike has a working kickstand and handlebars and rolling wheels
❤️ The figures have articulated limbs and universal grips and are incredibly detailed
What We Don’t Love:
💔 It’s pretty pricey
💔 It would be nice if it came with another Minion character
| 💡 TIP: For a slightly more affordable but action-packed option, check out Imaginext’s take on Gru’s motorcycle. |
19. Minions Minion Missile Two-in-One Combat Tank and Missile Blaster
Is it a missile-launching tank your Minion figures can ride in, or is it a blaster you can use in roleplay games? Yes! With one small adjustment, this Minion-sized combat tank becomes a child-sized blaster gun, making it excellent value for money. In both of its forms, it can launch foam darts up to 25 feet away, so you can vanquish your enemies big or small!
| Recommended age: 6 years and above |
This blaster hits the perfect balance between safety and fun. The darts shoot far and fast, but they’re made of foam so they won’t hurt anyone. They’re also adorably decorated with Minion faces!
What We Love:
❤️ Offers two ways to play: as a tank or blaster roleplay toy
❤️ The darts shoot super far and fast but don’t hurt
❤️ It’s a good size and the design is authentic to the movie
What We Don’t Love:
💔 It would be nice if it came with a minion figure to sit in the tank seat
💔 You have to manually rotate it every time you want to shoot again
20. Carrera GO!!! Battery Operated Minions Kart Racing Set
In this Minions electric slot car racing set, you don’t control where the car goes – it goes on the included track – but you do control its speed. So there’s a surprising amount of skill that goes into staying ahead of your opponent without zooming off the track! But not to worry – you can make it easier for the littlies by starting off without the ramps.
| Recommended age: 5 years and above |
With a 14.10 foot track and karts that reach up to 370-mph, this racing set is an absolute blast. And the Minions figures in their cars do not disappoint – they’re detailed and full of character!
What We Love:
❤️ The track is sturdy and easy to assemble
❤️ The karts can move at impressive speeds
❤️ You can add or remove difficulty by using the ramps or not
What We Don’t Love:
💔 It’s a bit of a learning curve for young kids
💔 You have to make sure the wires are aligned or the cars may come off the track
| 💡 TIP: Want to make Bob zoom down the track too? You can buy an additional racing vehicle here. |
Minions Board Games & Puzzles
21. Hasbro Gaming Operation Game: Minions Edition
We all know the classic Operation Game – remove all the items from inside the patient with the tweezers without setting off the buzzer. This version is the same, except you are retrieving the souvenir’s Otto has collected and lost – some of which he may have accidentally eaten! The souvenirs include a fart blaster, a roller skate and the amazing zodiac stone.
| Recommended age: 6 years and above |
Operation is great fun and helps kids practice their fine motor skills. The buzzer always leads to laughter, though in this edition it isn’t as jarring as in the original, so it’s better for kids who don’t like getting a fright.
What We Love:
❤️ Just like the original except you’re retrieving Otto’s souvenirs
❤️ The buzzer makes it fun but isn’t as jarring as the OG game
❤️ It’s great for strengthening fine motor skills
What We Don’t Love:
💔 Some customers didn’t like the weaker buzzer

22. 1000-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle Minions Secret Base
This is another fantastic option for those looking for a gift for slightly older Minions fans. It’s a 1000-piece puzzle, so of course it’s a challenge, but the image is so fun and packed with detail that it never feels impossible. The image depicted is the Minions secret lair, which is full of strange contraptions, gadgets and gizmos as well as a lot of chaos!
| Recommended age: 10 years and above |
This puzzle comes from the Japanese brand Yanoman, and many customers commented on the quality of the pieces. They are very sturdy and should last for many cycles of destroying the puzzle and redoing it!

❤️ It’s challenging but not too frustrating due to the varied imagery
What We Don’t Love:

23. Exploding Minions by Exploding Kittens
If you haven’t played Exploding Kittens before, you’re in for a treat. And if you have, you’ll know how fun it is and you’ll adore the hilarious Minions-themed cards! Basically, the core concept is for everyone to draw cards until you get an exploding Minion, then you’re out. Last player left unexploded wins!
| Recommended age: 7 years and above |
Where the strategy comes in is that there are all kinds of additional cards you can use to prepare for or diffuse the exploding Minion. So although it’s not a complicated game, it is an unpredictable one, and the tension of waiting for the next explosion makes it thrilling!
What We Love:
❤️ There are so many cards that will make you crack up
❤️ The tension-building game format also lends itself to hilarity
❤️ Simple enough for kids but fun enough for adults – plus each game is quick!
What We Don’t Love:
💔 Kids who aren’t yet confident readers may find the cards overwhelming
💔 It’s quite pricey considering it is a card game
24. Hasbro Gaming Monopoly Game Despicable Me Edition
Monopoly is a classic, but its complicated rules and lengthy playtime makes it a bit of a struggle for young kids. This Despicable Me edition is greatly simplified, with much fewer locations and properties and only one denomination of Banana Bucks. It cuts the playtime but amps up the fun with hilarious Chance cards, ice cream sundae tokens and other Minions twists!
| Recommended age: 5 years and above |
One of the funnest twists of this edition is that instead of throwing dice, you spin a Nom Nom Top to see how many spaces you’ll move. Young kids will love this addition as well as the cute Minion tokens.
What We Love:
❤️ A much quicker and simplified version of Monopoly suitable for young kids
❤️ The spinner pit is a fun addition
❤️ There are lots of cute and funny Minions details
What We Don’t Love:
💔 Older kids and adults may not enjoy how simplified it is
💔 The pieces are small and fall off the board pretty easily
25. Puzzle Panoramic Trefl: Minions 1.000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle
Though we already have a 1000-piece puzzle on this list, we wanted to show you this one too because of its unique shape. Instead of being a basic rectangle, this puzzle is a long panorama, with a whole lot of cute and fun Minions images included. It’s especially fun to do with other people, as you can all work on different parts of the puzzle without jostling each other!
| Recommended age: 10 years and above |
Trefl is a European puzzle brand, and this one stands up to the highest standards of quality and durability. The image quality is also excellent, making those iconic Minions blues and yellows pop!
What We Love:
❤️ A very cute and unique take on a puzzle
❤️ The pieces are sturdy and the image quality is great
❤️ It’s not too difficult thanks to the detail and different colors
What We Don’t Love:
💔 Sometimes the pieces stick together too well and can get damaged when taken apart again
💔 Due to the long narrow shape, you need a lot of space to do this puzzle
26. The Game of Life Game Minions Edition
This is another classic board game that’s been simplified and Minion-ified to suit little Minions fanatics. A Minion’s path to a good life is simple – it’s not about marriage, wealth and retirement, but rather simply about gathering the most bananas as a DJ or hula dancer. It’s also much goofier than a human’s, so watch out for some wacky and hilarious action cards!
| Recommended age: 5 years and above |
If this game doesn’t have the whole family rolling on the floor with laughter, I don’t know what will. There’s not a lot of rhyme or reason, but there is a lot of fun and some adorable Minion tokens!
What We Love:
❤️ It’s the same fun gameplay but simplified and sped up with a good dose of Minions silliness thrown in
❤️ The action cards are hilariously goofy
❤️ The Minion figures are adorable
What We Don’t Love:
💔 The spinner comes off quite easily when you’re spinning it
💔 Older kids may find it boring
Minions Pretend Play Toys
27. Minions Fart ‘N Fire Toy Blaster
The fart gun is an iconic item from Despicable Me, so we had to have one on this list. Let’s face it – nothing delights kids more than the most disgusting fart noises you can imagine, and that’s exactly what this fart blaster provides! Slide the trombone to switch between 20+ realistic fart noises to get the exact combination you desire.
| Recommended age: 4 years and above |
Kids will love becoming fart aficionados and playing their farts long and slow or short and loud to create the desired effect. You can even make your farts extra juicy by adding water to the chamber to create a mist effect!
What We Love:
❤️ Kids love nothing more than fart humor and this plays right into that
❤️ Makes a wide variety of fart noises and giggles
❤️ The mist function adds to the fun
What We Don’t Love:
💔 Some customers didn’t find the fart sounds believable
💔 The plastic feels a little cheap
28. Minion Goggles
Planning a Minion costume for Halloween? Then you need these premium Minion goggles. They are described as one-size-fits most, but they’re probably best suited for older elementary and middle-school aged kids. However, they do look adorable on younger kids because the oversized effect is even greater! Either way, this is the item that will turn your Minion costume from unclear to instantly recognizable.
| Recommended age: 6-12 years |
Even if it’s not for Halloween, these sturdy goggles are a super fun way for kids to make their Minion roleplay games feel more real. Put these on and boom! The inner Minion is sure to come out.
What We Love:
❤️ Absolutely adorable and the perfect finishing touch on a Minion costume
❤️ They are very sturdy and well made
❤️ The lenses are clear so you can still see properly
What We Don’t Love:
💔 They’re a little too big for young kids
💔 They’re also a bit too small for adults making them kinda painful on the nose
| 💡 TIP: If you’re buying for a younger child, these goggles will probably fit them better. |
29. Bob Minions Costume
If your kiddo doesn’t have a yellow shirt and overalls to create a DIY Minions costume, this one will definitely do the trick. What you’ll get is a Bob jumpsuit made up of faux denim overalls and a long sleeve shirt, along with a yellow hat and goggles that show Bob’s signature different colored eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Minions
🙋 What language do the Minions speak?
When you’re listening to the Minions chatter and babble, you’d be forgiven for assuming their language is made up of nonsense words and random sounds. But in fact, Minionese (the language Minions speak) is actually made up of words from many real languages including French, English, Japanese, Korean, Italian, Spanish and German. To add yet another layer, the Minions are actually dubbed differently for the movie releases in different countries, so that their intonation patterns sound familiar to moviegoers there. So what sounds like nonsensical gibberish has actually had a great deal of thought go into it!
🙋 Do the Minions have names?
Yes, Minions do have names, and their names are actually a lot more familiar to English speakers than the language they speak! The most prominent Minions in the movies are Dave, Bob, Kevin, Stuart, Mel and Otto, but there are many other named Minions throughout the three films. At the same time, there are many Minions we don’t learn the names of, simply because there are thousands of them under Gru’s care alone! But considering the fact that the Minions we meet do have names, we can assume that the others do too.
🙋 Is Minions okay for a 4-year-old?
Despicable Me and its subsequent sequels are rated PG for rude humor and mild action and violence. That means it’s up to you to decide whether the Minions movies are suitable for your 4-year-old or not. However, several parental guidance websites have noted that the action is likely to be a bit scary for kids under 5, and recommend the movies rather for kids aged 5-9. At the same time, if your child is not easily scared and you don’t mind them watching movies with some cartoon violence and rude humor, you can feel free to watch the Minions movies with your 4-year-old.
So… What Minion Toy Should You Get?
That depends on the age of the Minion fan you’re buying for, as well as your budget and their unique interests. For example, if they’re into LEGOs, this Minions Kung Fu Battle set is sure to delight. On the other hand, if they’re obsessed with cars, this pack of Minions Hot Wheels is a no-brainer. And if you’re not sure, it’s hard to go wrong with a Minions night light!
We tried to offer a wide range of Minions toys to suit all the unique little Minions out there. But if you have a Minions toy you think should have made the list, we want to know about it!
