It’s been a while since I’ve posted a code number list for any series of blind bags/blind boxes, but finally a new series has caught my attention! Despite coming from a non-Disney animated film, the Despicable Me Minions have turned out to have long-lasting popularity and have become favorite characters in pop culture. In 2015, the Minions will have their first movie of their very own–but before that, MEGA Brands is giving the Minions their very own series of blind boxes! And thanks to this handy code number list, you can make sure to pull exactly the Mega Bloks Minions Series 1 figure you want every single time!
Up until last week, I didn’t even know that there was a Despicable Me Mega Bloks blind box series of Minions figures. Then, out of nowhere, I got multiple requests from readers who were looking for a way to identify the figures in the blind boxes! Thus, I decided to head over to my nearest Toys R Us store, and lo and behold–there were the Minions!
As with all Mega Bloks blind boxed/blind bagged figures, there’s a code on the packaging for each figure that will let you identify which figure you’re getting inside the box without having to buy $4-$5 figures totally at random. Thanks, MEGA Brands!
A19094ES – Yellow Minion Holding a Camera
A20094ES – Yellow Minion (With Explosion on Face) with a Flask
A21094ES – Purple Minion Long Haired
A22094ES – Yellow Minion Holding a Banana
A24094ES – Purple Minion / Evil Minion
A25094ES – Yellow Minion in Boxers Holding an Ice Cream Cone
The “ultra rare” figure in this set is, not surprisingly, the purple Minion (AKA “Evil Minion”). As the purple minions are both less popular and less recognizable/marketable than the regular yellow minions from Despicable Me, it’s simple logic why they’d be the lowest-produced figure in the Mega Bloks Despicable Me Minions blind box series.
Those who are big fans will be willing to hunt for these characters, whereas casual fans just buying a random box will be unlikely to get stuck with a purple Minion that they may not want.
Now that you’ve got the secret Mega Bloks Minions code number list, will you be adding any of these adorable little Minions figures to your collections? If so, which are the ones that have caught your eye?
I have a couple of these and a set. I like them but their legs are a pain to snap into place. I made a second trip out to get more but my store didn’t have the purple Minion. Since they didn’t have the rare one I’m waiting till after Brick Fair to get anymore.
Are all the accessories removable and do they fit in Lego people hands?
The banana fits in a LEGO minifig’s hand. The goggles and hats are too big. I have one of the sets. The minion hat has a large post that snaps into a hole in the minions head. it will not work with LEGO.
Hmmmm probably purple one
I’m afraid your numbering and/or descriptions are wrong. A24094ES is actually ‘minion painted pretending to be evil guy’ . I found that A23094ES and not A21094ES is – Purple Minion Long Haired {actual evil guy}. Which leaves a question who is A21094ES if there is one. The collector sheets that come with figs have a lacke out fig with question mark , does this mean there is a super secret guy out there.
looks like there is a new code range now… latest stock of series 1 minions at our local Toys r Us have the following format: Axx124ES where xx does not match any of the listed numbers here. I’ve found xx = 13, 02 and 05 so far… won’t buy until I can be sure as the only two I don’t have from the previous ‘identifiable’ numbers are 20 (with flask) and 24 (purple evil)
XX=04 Is the purple one
Do you know the codes to Mega Bloks Minions Series 2 & 3? I have one of the series 2 it is the purple minion (2 eyes) and the number is A09035ES
I don’t, Laura–In fact, I had no idea Series 2 had even been released! What store did you find it at?
I picked up the set for the new lines based off the “Minions Movie” From Target in Melbourne, Australia. following codes embossed onto the box of the cartons. mystery minion however had black stamped numbers: http://www.bricksandbloks.com/code-number-list-mega-bloks-minions-series-3-codes/
I managed to get the whole set in one purchase and I hope the codes are helpful.
Thanks for the codes, Glenn! I’ve made an entire new post for them so that they’re more easily findable and accessible for other readers! Thanks so much!! =D
I need codes for series 2…anyone have them
what are the codes for series 1 minion mega bloks ending in 015ES I have A13015ES and it is Bob with the banana.
