This rare Funko POP! Carl (Minion) #35 had strong appeal for dedicated collectors, with only 1008 pieces ever released worldwide. As a limited edition Glows in the Dark figure from the Movies POP! line, it stood out on display, especially in low light, while its tie-in to the
2013 Despicable Me 2 film made it a sought-after piece for fans completing early Despicable Me sets.
The figure captured Carl (Minion) in a classic upright pose with his single large eye centered in a metallic-looking goggle, surrounded by short black spikes across the top of his head. He wore his blue Gru overalls with the “G” emblem clearly visible on the chest, black gloves, and black boots, with one gloved hand raised toward his chest to emphasize his personality. Sized to standard POP! dimensions, it matched seamlessly with other figures in the line while remaining instantly recognizable through its one-eyed design and glow feature.
Released under the broader Despicable Me Movies POP! category, this Carl (Minion) 2013 Despicable Me 2 Movies POP! connected directly to the popular Illumination franchise that had dominated animated film merchandising during the 2010s. As part of the early
Despicable Me 2 (2013) Funko wave, it represented both the growth of the Minions brand and Funko’s move into key animated movie licenses, making it a notable piece for collectors focused on cornerstone franchises.
