Evil Minion

The Evil Minion Pop! figure, numbered 37 in the Pop! Movies series, was released by Funko to coincide with the 2013 theatrical debut of the animated film Despicable Me 2. It represents one of the film's primary antagonists, a Minion transformed by the mutagen PX-41 into an aggressive, purple-haired creature. The figure was produced as part of Funko's strategy to capitalize on the widespread popularity of the Despicable Me franchise by offering stylized, vinyl versions of the film's most memorable characters.

The design follows the classic Pop! aesthetic, characterized by a large, cuboid head, simplified facial features, and a compact body, intended to distill the chaos of the purple Evil Minion into a collectible, shelf-ready form. While the figure was mass-produced for the general retail market, it became a notable piece for collectors focusing on the Despicable Me line due to its distinctive color palette and the specific cinematic role of the character. Its reception remains tethered to the enduring cultural visibility of the Minions, making it a standard entry in early-era Pop! film collections.
