LEGO Sets Hint at Minecraft Movie Mobs

Lego Unveils New Minecraft Movie Sets Featuring Familiar and Unexpected Mobs

Ahead of the Jack Black-led Minecraft movie, Lego has released details of two new sets offering a glimpse 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 line, incorporating minifigures of Steve (Jack Black) and the Garbage Man (Jason Momoa).

The Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring ($49.99, 491 pieces) depicts a gladiator-style 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 mount is significantly taller than the Garbage Man. The set also includes Steve, Henry, a giant zombie pigman, a treasure chest, and a small viewing platform with weapons.

The Ghast Balloon Village Attack set ($69.99, 555 pieces) showcases a large-scale battle in a typical overworld village, featuring the Nether's Ghast. This set includes one villager, two piglins, Steve, Natalie, Dawn, and an iron golem.

Both sets will be available from March 1st, a month before the Minecraft movie's theatrical release on April 4th. The film, revealed last September, initially faced criticism for the contrast between its live-action characters and the CGI-animated world. However, the director and producer, in a November interview with IGN, expressed confidence in their approach, stating they were prepared for any reaction.
