WowWee is releasing Minion MiP Turbo Dave in May, combining its MiP robot with popular entertainment brand Minions. The robot will hit shelves coinciding with Illumination Entertainment’s Despicable Me 3, which debuts in theaters on June 30.
Turbo Dave will be kids’ own personal Minion to help them carry out mischievous schemes. It will respond to hand gestures and can navigate around rooms. Kids can download the Turbo Dave app to control their Minion remotely, plan paths for him to self-navigate, or have it interact with other characters or props from the Despicable Me franchise. Kids can also use a coding platform to program Turbo Dave.
