The Steiff Minions are on their way! MINIONS The mischievous, yellow Minions form Gru’s not-so-bright pit crew. They are easily distracted and can be unpredictable, curious and subversively sweet. Hardworking and devoted to their leader and his mad exploits, the Minions are content to serve as his crash test dummies and eat every banana in sight. Bob is made of top-quality mohair and is dressed in his iconic denim overalls – and his silver Minion goggles.
