You know by now my children are obsessed about Despicable Me 2 andtheir we finally get to watch the animated movie in our local cinema. My children laughed and gushed as watch every antic made by the yellow-colored Minions, but a new character also captured their attention: the purple evil minion. We passed by the toy store as we went home and they saw an Evil Minion stuffed animal on display. My kids begged me to have one, even though they already have their own Minion dolls.

While it is difficult to refuse their pleas, I do not want to spoil them at the same time. I told them that they need to make their beds for two weeks and I might just give them the Evil Minion stuffed animal they want. They have been doing their tasks pretty well so far. My son would even make an extra effort of folding the comforter just like the beds in the hotel we stayed in Orlando for a vacation.

I looked online if there are Evil Minion dolls available and I found several officially licensed Despicable Me 2 merchandise on Amazon. This one-eyed purple Minion stands 10 inches tall, weighs 6.1 ounces, and is made of new plush material. While the doll is newly released, as reflected by its few reviews, the Evil Minion plush dolls are a hit in Amazon as it is the 7th most popular stuffed toy in the retail website as of this posting.

The one-eyed Evil Minion stuffed animal costs $24.99. Apart from the one-eyed Evil Minion, there is also the two-eyed version, which also goes by the same price.

It was a month ago when my children watched in my tablet a group of yellow creatures singing “Banana” to the tune of “Barbara Ann” by the Beach Boys. They find the Minions from Despicable Me 2 really, really cute and they were begging me to have their very own Minion plush doll.

It was so easy to give in, but I stood my ground and told them they need to be helpful around the house if they want to have one. They have helped me clear the table after dinner, they have kept their toys properly after play time, they made their beds after sleeping. At first they kept on asking when they would get their Minion plush doll and I kept on sayin, “Soon, my loves.” Nowadays they stopped throwing such questions and tomorrow they are in for a surprise: their Minion dolls arrived a while ago without them noticing it.

I ordered the Despicable Me 2 Minion Plus Dolls on Amazon. The official merchandise features a box containing a pair of plush Minions namely Stuart and Dave. If you have not seen the first Despicable Me, here is an explanation: Minions are tiny, yellow, loyal yet inept, genetically-mutated henchmen of top villain Gru. Since being introduced in the first Despicable Me in 2010, people cannot wait to see them again in the sequel.

The pair costs $14.99 and there are only a few left in stock the last time I checked. You have to think quick if you want to have your very own Minion Plush Dolls from Despicable Me 2.
