Biggest has been a little obsessed with Minions for some time. I have watched Despicable Me approximately 234 times. So when we were asked to do a Minions toys review, I knew we had to take part. We received a huge box of Minions goodies and I have seldom seen Biggest so excited by toys.… Read More
