Welcome to my Minion Collection
0:08
My main hobby is collecting Minions. It was 2010 when the first Despicable Me movie came out
0:16
We saw the movie. I loved the Minions. I remember laughing so hard
0:24
I remember getting one of the first things was a little miniature figure
0:29
from 15 years ago. So that's where it all began and I was just a big kid at 37
0:37
So I put them all together in this box because I thought I had a lot
0:41
Yeah, I got a few more. So this cabinet here holds all of my most valuable minions
0:50
It also holds the ones that come from overseas. It became more of an obsession for me after 2018 when I planned a trip to Singapore I wanted to be at the Universal Studios There was a Minions store there and I remember going and spending so much money on my birthday
1:09
in the shop and then I could see coming down the road with the Minion characters and I got
1:15
in line with all the kids and I got a photo with the Minions but I was having fun so I didn't mind
1:21
From there, that really sparked in me the collecting side of it and I really
1:27
was on the lookout then for lots of minions. This hat came from the US and Florida from Universal Studios
1:36
So did my little cup that I love. This one here came from a friend who went to Beijing
1:44
So all of my Stuarts are all together on this stand here
1:48
Stuarts, my favourite, he's the sassy one and he gets in trouble as often as he can
1:54
I have him as my tattoo. He just my favourite because he so cute So in this cabinet I got all of my fun and activities including sticker books colouring in books So I live alone and my daughters they do support me in that
2:16
They'll be out at the shops, and they'll take a photo and send it to me and go, Mum, have you got this
2:20
My partner has a small collection of minions of his own. He also tattooed a minion on himself because he likes them too
2:27
He thinks they're pretty cute and funny. My mum didn't know what minions were
2:31
so I had to show her the movie a few years ago. Well, she's very proud of me, which is lovely
2:37
So the Minion Legos that I have are all the way from the very first movie
2:42
My mum and I actually did this one, so my mum's 83, and she liked making these with me because it was a joint effort
2:50
I don't shop online. If I did, I don't think I'd afford to eat
2:54
because if I see it, I'm 99% sure that I'm going to buy it
3:01
I don actually know if there anything out there that I really want because I don look I kind of leave it to fate I guess I on Facebook The main thing I do is I look on the marketplace So if it a minion that I don have
3:19
I will drive two or three hours, call it minion hunting. I was told that the Swarovski crystals had actually brought out and released a set of
3:32
minion crystals so I have three of the four. I love minions because they're crazy. They
3:42
don't take themselves too seriously. They always get up after falling down. They do the silliest
3:50
things. They just make me laugh. They're hilarious. I've never laughed. I don't think
3:56
at anything as much as I have the minions. They just tickle my funny bone
