New Despicable Me 4 LEGO® sets
17 April 2024
LEGO®, Illumination and Universal are collaborating again on new LEGO® sets. It's not a giant Minion, however, as a recent April 1 post on social media suggested. To celebrate the newest chapter in the biggest global animation franchise in history, LEGO® is launching several Despicable Me 4 sets.
The new set of four products includes two sets that have already been revealed in a sneak-peek video clip and two that will be revealed at a later date. The first set is the LEGO Despicable Me 4 Minions and Gru's Family Mansion with its iconic architecture and beloved items from the films, such as the red sofa, fireplace and rocket-style bedroom and a brightly colored tree house. The second set is a Brick-Built Gru with dancing Minions - complete with a ukulele playing Mel. And Kevin armed with his fart gun. Fans will have to wait a little longer for the reveal of the entire lineup and hidden easter eggs.
LEGO® Despicable Me 4 products will be available starting May 1, 2024. Both brands hope the Despicable Me 4 sets will spark the imagination and create unforgettable creative experiences for fans around the world featuring the famous Despicable Me characters.
"Leveraging the creativity and endless possibilities of the LEGO® brand, this collaboration between Illumination, Universal Products & Experiences and the LEGO® Group celebrates the joy of storytelling. Fans told us they really missed LEGO® Minions, and we are thrilled to bring back this world of mischievous fun, through exciting new play experiences. We hope the new sets will please every fan - small or big!" says Solvita Akmene, designer at the LEGO® Group.
"Illumination's Despicable Me franchise is beloved by fans around the world, and our partnership with the LEGO® Group brings together two iconic brands," said Rafael Macias, Executive Vice President & Global Commercial Officer, Universal Products & Experiences. "The LEGO® Despicable Me 4 sets offer new storytelling opportunities and provide imaginative ways to bring to life the fun, action and sweet-but-subversive humor of this record-breaking franchise. We are as excited as fans are about Despicable Me 4 and can't wait for their reaction to the new movie-inspired LEGO® sets."
More Minions
LEGO® has released Minions sets in the past. This was in 2001, when the movie Minions: Rise of Gru came out. Unfortunately, these sets are no longer available, but of course the parts of these sets are still available at ToyPro. Want to collect the Minifigures? You can find them on the special Minions minifigures page.
