Is it Spock looking like a minion or a minion looking like Spock? I have no idea. I just know that he is adorable. This cute little Vulcan hybrid comes from Etsy artist Kutuleras and you can get him for just about $31(USD) from their Etsy shop.

He is 12.5 inches tall and the glasses are even removable. Now you can have a Vulcan/Minion aboard your starship for the first time in the Federation’s history.

Despicable Bricks: Teen Builds 24,000 Brick LEGO Minion

Posted in: Today's Chili

You might remember Evan Bacon from such LEGO masterpieces as his Superman, Batman and Iron Man. Now he has set his sights on the Minions from the Despicable Me movies.
lego minion 3 Evan made this awesome model all by himself. No help from Minions here. All together it has about 24,000 bricks and weighs about 120 pounds. It was built live at the Rooster Teeth convention in Austin, TX and is a tribute to Despicable Me 2.

I’ll tell you what’s not despicable. This guy’s talent. Now that he has a Minion, who knows what he can accomplish. OneMminion always leads to another. And another. And another. Soon Evan will be building armies of cool LEGO creations with their help.

Despicable Me Cosplay: Minions in Disguise

Posted in: Today's Chili

Everyone loves the Minions from Despicable Me. They will soften even the hardest of hearts. That must be why they are getting their own movie in 2014. To satisfy your craving for cute minions in the meantime, check out this fun collection of art featuring the Minions cosplaying other movie characters.


Aren’t you a little short to be a Stormtrooper? He’s looking a bit rotund there too. How about a minion as Gotham’s Guardian? Na Na Na Na Na… Batmin!

This is my favorite. The Joker minion.

Crocheted Minions: Despicable Amigurumi

Posted in: Today's Chili

For me, Despicable Me was a unexpectedly entertaining animated film. Perhaps it was because of Steve Carrell’s hilarious performance as Gru, or maybe it was his Raving Rabbids-esque army of minions. Either way, you won’t be able to resist this collection of amigurumi minions.

This set of nine minions was handmade by crochet artist Komang Darmiani, and they’re just waiting to be placed on your desk for family, friends or co-workers to ogle and grope. Each one is made from acrylic yarn and measures just under 3″ tall.

The full set will set you back $99.90(USD) – or just over $11 a minion – not too bad for your own highly-obedient cubicle army, I say.
