It’s banana(s)!

As we count down the hours until the cutest yellow critters take over the big screen for the Friday release of Minions, we’re collecting all of our favorite themed goodies to hold our kiddies (okay, we’ll be honest — us!) over.

And nothing passes the time like Mega Bloks‘ new line of Minion playthings, including the Supervillain Jet ($45), Station Wagon Getaway ($20) and Dino Ride ($35).

The initial building of the many-pieced set takes time — and a lot of patience. (The Supervillain Jet comes with 472 pieces!) But once the cool creation is complete, your little one’s imagination will soar as he recreates his favorite scenes from the film.
