Flatline Rolls Out Minions Stickers In Time For July 10 Movie Opening

APPLETON, WI -- New from Flatline Corp. is a licensed Minions sticker series based on the diminutive servitors made popular by the 2010 hit animated movie "Despicable Me" and its 2013 sequel "Despicable Me 2." The new line has been released in advance of the July 10 opening of "Minions," the "prequel" third film in the series.

Flatline's Minions flat-vending series is comprised of 15 sheets of die-cut stickers, each featuring two or three images, for a total of 40 collectible graphics.

The loyal, obedient yellow creatures have developed their own fan base in the wake of the two previous "Despicable Me" films, and Flatline is banking on the characters being fresh in the minds of contemporary vending patrons. The supplier predicts that these memories will spur strong sales through this summer and beyond.

The new 3D computer-animated film is expected to become one of the summer's box-office blockbusters. "Minions" features the voices of Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton, Geoffrey Rush and Pierre-Louis Padang Coffin. Minion-fanciers' anticipation has been growing since the final scene of Despicable Me 2, in which three of the Minions are seen auditioning for a film of their own.

The toy industry expects Minions to become ubiquitous in the second half of 2015. During January's Toy Fair in New York City, Minion-related products appeared just about everywhere one turned.

Founded in 1999, Flatline markets stickers and tattoos, as well as novelty items for 1" and 2" capsules. Information may be had by calling the manufacturer at (877) 499-3528 or visiting 2flatline.com.
