Despicable Me 4 will be launching this summer with four brand new LEGO sets featuring the Minions.

The upcoming sequel sends Gru (Steve Carell) and his whole family – including son Gru Jr – on the run when the Anti-Villain League is targeted by the evil Maxime Le Mal (Will Ferrell) and his girlfriend Valentina (Sofía Vergara).

The movie introduces new types of Minions as well – the AVL Minions dressed up in secret agent-style suits and the larger Mega Minions with superpowers.

All of these characters are featured in four new Despicable Me 4 sets from LEGO, which will be available for sale from May 1. All four sets are for children aged 8 and up.

Gru's Family Mansion (£89.99 / $99.99) is packed with iconic elements from the Despicable Me films, including Gru's red couch, fireplace, rocket bedroom and laboratory.

Six mini-figures are included – Gru, Lucy, Margo, Edith, Agnes and Baby – as well as larger builds for Minions Mel, Jerry and Tim.

The Minions' Music Party Bus (£34.99 / $39.99) has Phil, Mel, Dave and Mega Minion Gus out for a rockin' good time on their decked-out bus.

The bus comes with a driver's seat on the roof, and has an interactive feature where you can open the top to reveal the disco party inside.

The Minions and Banana Car (£19.99 / $24.99) comes with four minions – Mel, AVL Tim, Mega Minion Dave and Pit Crew Ron – and a removable engine on the car.

There are plenty of accessories – like weight sets, an art easel and a diaper-changing wagon – so the Minions can keep busy when they aren't chasing down villains.

Lastly, Brick-Built Gru and Minions (£49.99 / $54.99) is a diorama where you can construct a 28-cm tall Gru and Minions Jerry, Dave, Beedoo, Mel and Kevin on a stand.
