Minions Collectables UK: The Minions & Monsters Fan Guide (2026)

The Minions are back on the big screen, and this time the chaos goes Hollywood. Minions & Monsters, the third standalone Minions film, landed in UK and Ireland cinemas on 1 July 2026. That release is exactly why Minions collectables UK demand is climbing right now, and it is why the newest figures tend to sell through before the summer holidays are over.

We run a UK collectables shop, so we watch this pattern every year. A big Illumination release lands, the kids want the little yellow guys, and the grown-up collectors quietly hoover up the Funko Pops. This guide covers what is worth buying, what to skip, and how to build a Minions display that still looks good long after the credits roll.

TL;DR: Minions collectables at a glance

• Minions & Monsters (Minions 3) landed in UK cinemas on 1 July 2026, and both stock and demand are moving fast.
• The new Minions 3 Funko Pops of James and Goomi are in stock now at £13.99 each.
• Tubbz collectable ducks like Gru and Evil Minion Ed sit at £19.99 and make a strong shelf centrepiece.
• Budget picks start from £2.99, with Bitty Pop two-packs at £4.99 and Mystery Tubbz Eggs at £4.99.
• Everything is officially licensed and quality-checked before it ships.

Why Minions & Monsters is the family release to watch

Illumination knows how to turn a cinema trip into a shopping list. The Minions have carried some of the biggest animated openings of the last decade, and the merchandise usually outlives the film run. Minions & Monsters follows the little guys as they conquer Hollywood, become movie stars, lose the lot, then unleash a few monsters they have to band together to clean up. Classic Minion logic. Pierre Coffin, the voice of the Minions, is back in the director's chair.

For collectors, a fresh film means a fresh figure wave. We have already seen the Minions 3 Funko Pop line arrive, and pieces tied to a specific movie moment tend to hold value better than generic evergreen releases. Want the film-accurate versions? Buy them while they are on shelves. Waiting rarely pays off with Minions.

The best Minions collectables to buy right now (UK)

Here is what we would actually put on a shelf today. Every item below is in our live Minions range.

Minions 3 Funko Pops

Start here. The Minions 3 James Funko Pop and the Minions 3 Goomi Funko Pop are the two new-film figures, both £13.99. James is the standout for us. Goomi is the odd one that collectors will chase later once the film builds a following. At under fourteen quid each, they are the easiest entry point into the new wave.

Prefer something smaller? The Minions Bride Kevin & Eye Matie Bitty Pop 2 Pack is £4.99 and perfect for desks, shelves, or a pocket-money gift. Bitty Pops stack neatly and cost a fraction of a full-size figure.

Tubbz: the collectable ducks that steal the shelf

Tubbz have quietly become one of our favourite display lines. The Minions Gru Tubbz (First Edition) and the Minions Evil Minion Ed Tubbz (First Edition) are both £19.99, and the First Edition stamp matters to collectors down the line. Each duck comes in a bathtub-style box you can display as-is.

Want the thrill of the chase without the higher price? The Minions Mystery Tubbz Eggs are £4.99 a pop. You do not know which character you are getting until you open it, which is half the fun and a low-risk way to start a set.

Plush and playful picks

The Minions Babbling James Plush at £29.99 is the interactive option, and it is the one small kids gravitate to first. It talks, it babbles, it drives parents mildly round the bend. If you want a softer, quieter gift, the plush range still beats a screaming light-up toy on most days.

Gifts under a tenner and everyday bits

Not every Minions purchase needs to be a display piece. For party bags, stocking fillers, or a small treat, we stock the Minions Gadget Decals at £5.99, the Minions Magnetic Notepad at £7.99, and the Minions Lunch Bag at £14.99. The Minions Stationery Set at £19.99 is a genuinely useful back-to-school buy that happens to be covered in Minions.

Puzzle fans are sorted too. The Minions 3 3D Puzzle Ball (72 pieces) is £9.99 and ties straight into the new film.

Collecting tips: what to buy and what to skip

A few honest takes from behind the counter. First, buy the film-specific figures early. The Minions 3 Funko Pops will be the ones people want tied to the 2026 film, and those windows close.

Second, do not sleep on the First Edition Tubbz. The First Edition run is the one collectors care about, so a Gru or Ed duck bought now is a smarter hold than a fourth reprint later.

Third, mix your display. A shelf of nothing but yellow gets samey fast. We pair Minions pieces with other Illumination and Funko lines to break up the colour, and a single plush at the front adds height and texture. If you are building a wider Funko shelf, the same display rules apply across every franchise.

One thing to avoid: chasing every variant at once. Minions ranges are broad, and it is easy to overspend in week one. Pick a lane, whether that is Funko Pops, Tubbz, or plush, and grow from there.
