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 Games Radar, these additions to the existing Minecraft Lego lineup include characters portrayed by Jack Black and Jason Momoa.

The first set, "Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring" ($49.99, 491 pieces), depicts a gladiator-style battle featuring Jason Momoa's Garbage Man battling a zombie atop a giant chicken. The scale is ambiguous, but the chicken-zombie combination is significantly taller than the Garbage Man. The set also includes Steve, Henry, a giant zombie pigman, a treasure chest, and a small spectator stand with weaponry.

The second set, "Ghast Balloon Village Attack" ($69.99, 555 pieces), showcases a large-scale battle in an overworld village, featuring the Nether's Ghast. 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 September reveal sparked considerable fan reaction concerning the contrast between live-action characters and the animated world. While acknowledging this criticism in a November interview with IGN, the film's director and producer expressed confidence in their approach.
