Lego Unveils New Minecraft Movie Sets Featuring Familiar and Unexpected Characters
Ahead of the upcoming live-action Minecraft movie, Lego has announced two new sets offering a glimpse into the film's mob roster. As reported by GamesRadar, these sets – the Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring and The Ghast Balloon Village Attack – expand the existing Minecraft Lego lineup, incorporating minifigures based on Jack Black's Steve and Jason Momoa's The Garbage Man.
The $49.99 Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring (491 pieces) depicts a gladiator-style battle, showcasing 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. The set also includes Steve, Henry, a giant zombie pigman, a treasure chest, and a small spectator stand with weaponry.
The Ghast Balloon Village Attack set, priced at $69.99 (555 pieces), features the Nether's Ghast in a large-scale battle within an 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 A Minecraft Movie hits theaters on April 4th. The film's initial trailer faced criticism for the contrast between live-action characters and the animated world, a reaction acknowledged by the director and producer in a November interview with IGN. They expressed confidence in their approach, stating they "were ready for everything."
