Lego Unveils New Minecraft Movie Sets Featuring Familiar and Unexpected Mobs
Ahead of the live-action Minecraft movie, Lego has announced two new sets offering glimpses into the film's action-packed scenes and showcasing key characters and mobs. As reported by GamesRadar, these additions to the existing Minecraft Lego line include figures based on Jack Black's Steve and Jason Momoa's The Garbage Man.
The first set, the Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring ($49.99, 491 pieces), depicts a gladiatorial-style battle. Momoa's character is shown battling a zombie riding a giant chicken – the scale is unclear, but the mount is notably larger than The Garbage Man. The set also includes Steve, his companion Henry, a giant zombie pigman, a treasure chest, and a small spectator stand with weapons.

The second set, the Ghast Balloon Village Attack ($69.99, 555 pieces), features the Nether's Ghast in a large-scale battle within an overworld village. This set includes one 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 movie itself faced initial criticism for the contrast between live-action characters and the CGI world, a reaction acknowledged by the film's director and producer in a November interview with IGN. Despite the initial backlash, they expressed confidence in the final product.
