The “Evil Stuff” store, which is the exit gift shop for Minion Blast, opened to the public on Tuesday.
The store is stocked with merchandise based on the minion characters from the “Despicable Me” and “Minions” films. Items include T-shirts, cups, posters, minion plushes and fart guns.
Around the store are large figures of different minions in disguise as the villains that will be featured in the attraction. One figure is of a minion dressed as Scarlet Overkill, while another is dressed as Balthazar Bratt.
The store also has signs that advertise Villain-Con International, the fictional convention for criminals and supervillains.
Evil Stuff is located at the exit of Minion Blast, which is set to open sometime this summer. Universal has not yet announced an opening date for the attraction.
Minion Blast is described as an interactive blast game experience that will have visitors competing with each other to see if they have what it takes to be a supervillain.
The attraction, located in the building that previously held Shrek 4-D, will move visitors around on moving pathways as they use special blasters to earn points. Minion Blast will use both screens and physical sets to create the interactive environment.
Minion Blast and its Evil Stuff gift shop will be part of a new Minion Land, also opening this summer. Located near the front of Universal Studios, the themed land will consist of the existing Despicable Me Minion Mayhem attraction as well as a new Minion Cafe, the Bake My Day bakery and new outdoor character meet-and-greet location.
Universal recently unveiled the large sign for Minion Land, which features more than 20 minions and a purple evil minion.
