McDonalds has been having Despicable Me 2 Happy Meal toys for the past week or so. We just got one of the purple minion. You can buy them separately without having to buy a happy meal. They are around $2 with the tax (in my area). I have $2.10 prepped ahead of time at the drive through and just ask if I can see what the current Happy Meal toy is. If it's the one that I want, I have my money ready to hand over. I really have liked the electronic "talking" ones they had earlier. One has laughing and another one is saying "banana".
