For the time being, this set, it also being the largest from the series is not affected by this, but you never know. All images of LEGO products and scans of original building instructions are copyright The LEGO Group. Ten years ago, a gang of French-speaking yellow things, known as Minions, entered popular culture with Illumination’s Despicable Me movie.

Depending on how you’ve attached the 2×2 round tile, this can either be kind of subtle, or really dizzying. Some of you may know me from other LEGO sites so you'll know I have a good experience of the LEGO community and a deep, passionate commitment to all things LEGO. To enable personalised advertising (like interest-based ads), we may share your data with our marketing and advertising partners using cookies and other technologies.Brick-built Stuart and Kevin “big Minions” are shown, along with the three minifigure-scaled Minions. Kevin is over 5” (15cm) tall, Stuart is 5” (14cm) tall and Bob is 4” (12cm) tall, making them ideal for play and display. It’s also strangely enough much more presentation-friendly as you have a clear orientation for each model and don’t need to fiddle that much with getting them lined up nicely as you would with genuine cylindrical builds.

As mentioned above Stuart is a single build, the basic build is almost identical to the other characters. But if for whichever reason they decided not to, they should at least include an idea of building something from the extra bricks. As you can see, the shape of the cross section is not actually round but rather an elongated rounded corner block. The packaging was brown paper, and as such, the box was totally crushed from moving through the postal service.Then they can turn the models around to reveal the room playset inside, complete with accessories, such as tools, hats and weapons, plus figures for role play. Each LEGO Minions set encourages creative fun as children role-play scenes from the Minions: The Rise of Gru movie. Of course I’m not revealing anything new when telling you that at one point Mega Construx had a license when the Minions movie was released some years ago. So I photographed him here without it, as I was feeling generous, and as it looks pretty stupid with it. In fact that’s one of the reasons why I was rather skeptical about whether this theme would even be mildly successful when it was announced.

I have to say I’m tempted to pick up another set so I can build all three characters together and it could be possible to MOC up an additional Minion from the combination of extra elements from two sets. Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy. The Minions of course have a very distinct pill/ capsule shape, which in and of itself is part of the appeal and quite ingenious even from the viewpoint of a 3D animator. This would have been useful and in fact those prints could have been re-used in the future for many similar scenarios. We had the original “Despicable Me” movie, then the sequels, then spin offs, and now that we have brick built Minions, we’re all set, right?Kids who love Minions will go wild for this LEGO building toy for kids (75551): First, they can build an eye-catching, brick-built version of Kevin and Stuart Minion characters.
