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 characters. As reported by Games Radar, these sets – the Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring and the Ghast Balloon Village Attack – expand the existing Minecraft Lego lineup, including minifigures of key players like Jack Black's Steve and Jason Momoa's Garbage Man.
The $49.99 Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring (491 pieces) depicts a gladiatorial battle featuring Momoa's character facing off against a zombie riding a giant chicken. The scale of this unusual pairing remains unclear, but the chicken-zombie combo is significantly taller than the Garbage Man minifigure. The set also includes Steve, Henry, a giant zombie pigman, a treasure chest, and a small viewing stand with weaponry.
The Ghast Balloon Village Attack set, priced at $69.99 (555 pieces), showcases the Nether's signature Ghast in a large-scale battle scene within a standard overworld village. This set includes a villager minifigure, 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 initial trailer faced criticism for the contrast between live-action characters and the CGI-animated world, a reaction acknowledged by the film's director and producer in a November interview with IGN. They expressed confidence in their approach, stating they were "ready for everything."
