It’s the Minions collaboration that BTS fans have been waiting for, and maybe the cutest BTS collab yet. Funko is releasing a collectible set inspired by Despicable Me 4, and all seven BTS members get transformed into adorable Minions.
The exclusive seven-pack features Pop! versions of RM, Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook. And yes, they’re sporting the signature Minion goggles, but no overalls. The BTS Minions come decked out in outfits inspired by the K-pop group’s 2021 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Permission to Dance.”

The Funko Pop! release is part of a larger collaboration between Illumination, Universal and BTS’ label Big Hit, which includes a limited collection of T-shirts, hoodies, sweats, tote bags and more priced from $30-$60. The merch collection was available at the WeVerse U.S. shop from June 19-July 21.
Fans can also shop the apparel and accessories collection at retail pop-ups in Seoul and Tokyo (the Los Angeles pop-up ended on July 3). Additionally, the BTS x Despicable Me 4 collection will soon be available at Nordstrom and Urban Outfitters stores and online.
The BTS x Despicable Me 4 collaboration celebrates Poppy Prescott, a new character from the movie who identifies as BTS Army. Fans were quick to spot clues pointing to Poppy being a BTS fan in a clip from the movie.
BTS first teased the Despicable Me 4 collaboration last week on social media.
The collaboration comes on the heels of Jimin announcing his sophomore solo album, Muse, and Jin completing a mandatory, 18-month military service on June 11.
Despicable Me 4 hit theaters on July 3. The animated film is currently streaming on Prime Video and other digital platforms.
