Lego Unveils New Minecraft Movie Sets Featuring Familiar and Unexpected Mobs
Ahead of the upcoming live-action Minecraft movie, Lego has announced two new sets offering glimpses into the film's action-packed scenes and showcasing key characters and mobs. As reported by GamesRadar, these sets, "Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring" and "Ghast Balloon Village Attack," expand the existing Minecraft Lego lineup, incorporating minifigures of Jack Black's Steve and Jason Momoa's Garbage Man.
The $49.99, 491-piece Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring set depicts a gladiator-style battle. Momoa's Garbage Man faces off against a zombie riding a giant chicken—the scale remains ambiguous, possibly a baby zombie on a regular chicken, but significantly taller than the Garbage Man. The set also includes Steve, Henry, a giant zombie pigman, a treasure chest, and a small viewing stand with weapons.
The Ghast Balloon Village Attack set, priced at $69.99 and containing 555 pieces, showcases a large-scale battle in an overworld village, featuring the Nether's Ghast. This set includes a villager, two piglins, Steve, Natalie, Dawn, and an iron golem.
Both sets launch March 1st, a month before the Minecraft movie's theatrical release on April 4th. The film's September reveal sparked criticism regarding the contrast between live-action characters and the animated world, a reaction acknowledged by the director and producer in a November interview with IGN, where they expressed confidence in their approach.
