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 anticipated mob roster. As reported by GamesRadar, these additions to the existing Minecraft Lego lineup – the Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring and The Ghast Balloon Village Attack – include minifigures of key characters like Jack Black's Steve and Jason Momoa's The Garbage Man.

The $49.99 Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring (491 pieces) depicts a gladiatorial-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 combo is notably 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, priced at $69.99 (555 pieces), showcases the Nether's Ghast in a large-scale battle within a standard overworld village. This set features a village 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 September reveal sparked considerable fan debate, focusing on the contrast between the 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 "ready for everything."
