They also produced blind bags which started with Despicable ME with two series, while a third one was dedicated to “The Minions” animated spin off.
Kevin is part of that wave which features him as one of the main characters along with Bob and Stuart. This version of Kevin is from that said film and if you’ve seen the teaser trailer he carries a brown cardboard scribbled the word ‘Orlando”, where the annual ‘Villain Con” was held.
