Toy Fair 2015: Minions Figures Out of Hiding

I thought we'd kick off today's Toy Fair 2015 coverage with those little yellow henchmen kids can't get enough of. It's the Minions! This year, these odd little yellow people get their own movie and the toys have been kept completely under wraps. ...trust me..we've been checking. Today, we'll take a quick look at some of the figure designs coming our way with the movie's release. Will there be toys that talk? Most definitely. Will there be ones you can love and squish and hold captive forever? Absolutely. Will we be showing you either of those types of toys today? Probably not.

A New Despicable Me 2 Trailer

The Impending Awesomeness of Despicable Me

Looks like the minions from this movie are the new Raving Rabbids! You can expect all your friends that see this movie to be screaming "IT'S SO FLUFFFFEEE!!!

Just FYI, Toy Factory seems to be the only company doing toys. The line is all plush with no apparent features (my sadness that they don't talk will be visible) including Edith, Agnes, Margo, Agnes' Unicorn (is it fluffy enough??!! probably not.) and minions Stewart, Dave and Jorge.

Here's the official movie synopsis...

In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to the neighbors, hidden beneath this home is a vast secret hideout. Surrounded by a small army of minions, we discover Gru (voiced by Steve Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon (Yes, the moon!) in Universal’s new 3-D CGI feature, Despicable Me.

Gru delights in all things wicked. Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad.

The world’s greatest villain has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes. Despicable Me hits theaters July 9th, 2010.
