Wendy’s may have Minions toys and collectibles for the new summer movie
Wendy’s will have a new Minions-themed promotion tied to this summer’s upcoming “Minions & Monsters” release, and has shared a series of glitchy social media posts. More details have not yet been released officially, but there are more clues appearing to show us what the “Minions & Monsters” kids’ meal toys will be.
The fast-food chain shared multiple “security footage” style clips on Instagram featuring the phrase “bee-do bee-do” — a recognizable Minion alarm sound — along with warnings about “mischievous activities happening at Wendy’s.” They have also changed their Instagram bio to simply say “In my Minion era.”
Beginning July 1, “Minions & Monsters” will hit theaters with what looks to be an over-the-top animated movie about James the minion, who himself wants to make his own movies. Minion mayhem ensues when real monsters wreak havoc.
The teaser from Wendy’s showed a distorted kitchen security camera feed labeled “Wendy’s Cam,” and featured a blurry yellow figure hidden behind static effects. Fans in the comments immediately began speculating about a Minions collaboration and possible Happy Meal-style kids’ meal toys.
Then, on May 28, 2026, Wendy’s shared what can be considered to be the first look at Minions kids’ meal toys. In this Instagram post below, you can see Minion figures and the caption includes “pocket-sized legends.”
And most recently, an Instagram account named “@whitetigercg” posted a reel unveiling a “Minions & Monsters” Wendy’s Kids’ Meal with a Minion character toy.
There appear to be six different toys available. Four minions are James, Henry, Ed, and Richard. Then the other two toys are Goomi and Dort. Goomi is a new green alien character who appears to serve as the movie’s antagonist, and Dort is an alien robot character from outer space.
Now, on June 4, 2026, Wendy’s shared another tease on Instagram this time showing shadow puppet characters and a banana-swirl Frosty. Looks like we will finally get an official announcement on June 15 after weeks of teasing.
With summer movie season upon us, it’s time for the movies to not only battle at the box office, but also in merchandise collections and meal opportunities.
The timing also lines up with Universal’s larger summer push around the Minions franchise, including themed entertainment offerings at the parks. Our Universal summer activities guide recently highlighted new Minions-focused activations and seasonal experiences debuting this summer.
