A New Villain-Con Minion Meet and Greet at Universal Studios Japan
Universal Studios Japan has introduced a fresh and exciting experience for fans of the beloved Minions with the launch of the Villain-Con Minion Blast. This new attraction adds a unique twist to the popular Minion Park, offering visitors an opportunity to interact with a group of specially dressed Minions that bring the world of Villain-Con to life.
The Minion Meet and Greet Experience
The meet and greet features a total of five Minions, each adorned in themed outfits that reflect the Villain-Con event. Two of the Minions are dressed in standard Villain-Con gear, including bucket hats, belt bags, t-shirts, and ball caps. One of them is holding an orange Villain-Con cup, while another carries a purple shopping bag, adding a playful touch to their appearance.
In addition to these characters, three Minions are dressed in cosplay outfits representing iconic villains from the ride: Scarlet Overkill, Balthazar Bratt, and Vector. Each of these Minions is equipped with props and accessories that match their respective characters. For example, the Scarlet Overkill Minion wears a crown on its head, while the Balthazar Bratt Minion is seen carrying a keytar, bringing the villain’s signature look to life.

Visitors can find the Minions outside the entrance of the Villain-Con Minion Blast, specifically at the front right corner of Minion Park. This location allows guests to easily spot the characters as they make their way to the attraction, creating a fun and interactive start to their experience.
