Lego Unveils New Minecraft Movie Sets Featuring Familiar and Unexpected Characters
Ahead of the live-action Minecraft movie starring Jack Black, Lego has announced two new sets offering glimpses into the film's action-packed scenes. As reported by GamesRadar, these sets—the Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring and the Ghast Balloon Village Attack—expand upon the existing Minecraft Lego lineup, incorporating minifigures of Black's Steve and Jason Momoa's The Garbage Man.
The Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring ($49.99, 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. The set also includes Steve, his companion Henry, a giant zombie pigman, a treasure chest, and a small viewing platform with weaponry.
The Ghast Balloon Village Attack set ($69.99, 555 pieces) showcases the Nether's signature Ghast in a large-scale battle within a standard overworld village. 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 initial trailer sparked controversy among fans due to the contrast between the live-action characters and the 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.
