Once the character is built, the fun goes on. Kids will love seeing the eyes turn. Then they can explore the intricate room playset inside, using the fun accessories to create their own Minion stories. As with quite a few of the more recent themes based on animated movies, the Minifigure characters look a little different to their usual counterparts. Although elements of the Minion figures are similar to standard Minifigures such as the hands, every component of them is unique to the Minions. The set features three Minions and each is completely unique in terms of the outfits they are wearing and the elements used to create them. They include a body section, two attachable arms, a headpiece and then eyes. The arms have appeared in other sets such as the Unikitty, NEXO KNIGHTS and Angry Birds themes, but the ones each are available in new colours or with unique print detail. Despite the Minions having a similar look, each character here has a different head element. Stuart has a single eye, with both Kevin and Bob having two. Then Kevin has a longer body than his chums and Bob being the shortest of the three. Powered by kids' imaginations. No batteries needed. Includes Instructions PLUS to help kids learn to build.

Since Bob is so much shorter, there even more pieces left over once you complete this alternate build. While parts of the construction were nearly identical, you still need to take each model almost entirely apart to swap between them. I think that’s a positive feature; you get a sense that there are really three different designs to explore.

Ready to get inventive with the LEGO Minions in Gru’s Lab set? The Minions have helped to transform Gru’s basement into a laboratory. Now they’re preparing to have some fun. Watch them create mischief as they slide into the bananas and test out a vehicle on the ramp. See if they can make a vehicle crash into the fence! As mentioned above Stuart is a single build, the basic build is almost identical to the other characters. The notable differences are his eye and his interior. Unlike the other Minions, Stuart has a single peeper. This uses slightly different elements as well, a classic umbrella piece is topped by a printed 2×2 round tile. This gives the eye a more textured look and being able to turn it via a dial inside allows you to bring a surprising amount of character to the set. Within the rear of Stuart, you’ll discover a compact but detailed room. As well as a few control panels and pictures, you find a pair of speakers and a flip-down bed, which perfectly matches up with Stuart’s PJ wearing Minifigure.
