Despicable Me 2 Actions Figures: A Review

Minions Christmas Gifts

The animated sequel of Despicable Me is back and better than the original.  In Despicable Me 2, criminal mastermind  Gru has turned over to be a good father to his three adopted daughters, Agnes, Edith and Margo. While setting his Minions to cook up a series of jellies and jam, an organisation involved in crime-fighting recruits him to hunt down a wicked and cruel crook who has stolen a lethal serum.  While performing his engaging secret service assignment, Gru found love in Lucy Wilde, a clumsy secret agent. 

The amusing goggle-wearing yellow-hued Minions provide the most chuckles with curt one-liners and creative visual gags. Your kids will love this fast, cheerful , hilarious and inspired family entertainment.


 
These famous and unforgettable characters of the movie are now made available for the coming 2013 Christmas season. Suitably called the Despicable Me 2 Action Figures for children, they include the popular Despicable Me 2 Minion Dave Talking Action Figure, Gru The Talking Genius Action Figure, Minion Tim The Singing Action Figure, as well as Bedtime Agnes, Agnes’ Fluffy Unicorn and The Fart Blaster.

Some customers’ reviews :

***** This minion is well built, durable, has moving eyes, moving eyelids, and has actual minion "speak" from the movie. If you have a movie memorabilia collection, Dave is a must! 


***** Fun and laughter, whichever way you twist and turn. Giggles and gibberish words guaranteed! Eyes roll, mouth moves. Super cute!


**** The product quality was almost all as expected.
Only problem was that the product seemed to be poorly cared for before packaging for shipping, because the color on one of its hair and its clothing had scatch marks, and some parts of the "skins" had minor smudges of gray or black.

 ***** Tim is THE BEST! You want to smile? Cheer up a loved one? This is the toy for you. I swear every time I walk by the little guy, I have to shake his head to hear a saying or have him sing to me. You know you're in trouble when you start treating a toy like one of the family. Buy this....you won't be disappointed!
