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 a glimpse into the film's anticipated mob roster. As reported by GamesRadar, the "Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring" and "The Ghast Balloon Village Attack" sets join the existing Minecraft Lego lineup, featuring minifigures of key characters like Jack Black's Steve and Jason Momoa's Garbage Man.

The $49.99, 491-piece Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring set depicts a gladiator-style battle. Momoa's character is shown battling a zombie riding a giant chicken—the scale remains ambiguous, possibly a baby zombie on a normal chicken, but significantly taller than the Garbage Man himself. The set also includes Steve, Henry, a giant zombie pigman, a treasure chest, and a small viewing stand with weaponry.

The Ghast Balloon Village Attack set, priced at $69.99 and containing 555 pieces, showcases the Nether's signature Ghast in a large-scale battle within an overworld village. This set features 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 considerable fan reaction concerning the contrast between live-action characters and the CGI-animated world, prompting a fan-made, fully animated trailer reimagining. The film's creators acknowledged this feedback to IGN in November, confidently stating their preparedness for any response.
