Minions and Lego Mini-fig Race...input?

I just found these little Minion figures at

Walmart this morning...and they are perfect Hot Wheels/Matchbox scale! I think I'd like to put on a race with these little guys driving the cars.

Here's the plan...the cars or trucks can be any style, but they have to have either a Minion or a Lego mini figure doing the driving...or maybe just riding in the back of the truck. Drilled rivet, any wheels, 57 gram...if you'd like to donate your car to the prize pot, you can...if not, then just include return money.

It would be one shot race (unless anyone else would like to host). And I think it will be fun! Make your cars as silly or as serious as you want...be as creative as you want...and the videos would look fantastic with these little guys driving!

Who's in?

I was planning to host a Mini-fig race for later this year...my thought was just Lego mini-figs to keep things somewhat consistent. Every car has to have at least one mini-fig head on it...but all body parts are encouraged.

Fig wouldn't have to be driving either...just anywhere on the car so long as its glued/attached and not loose.

I'll schedule this one, so look for it early spring or summer. We can make it a series if enough folks want to host...TBD.

There's a new Lego inspired car to work with.


  • Nifty. I bet we'll be seeing a lot more Lego-friendly castings this year. — redlinederby
