Lego is releasing a series of Minecraft Movie sets to coincide with the upcoming Jack Black-led live-action film. These sets offer a glimpse into the film's mob roster.
Two sets have been announced so far: the Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring and The Ghast Balloon Village Attack. These will complement the existing range of standard Minecraft Lego sets, but will feature minifigures of characters like Jack Black's Steve and Jason Momoa's Garbage Man.
The $49.99, 491-piece Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring depicts a gladiator-style battle. Momoa's character is shown fighting a zombie riding a giant chicken—the scale is unclear, but the chicken is notably large. The set also includes Steve, Henry, a giant zombie pigman, a treasure chest, and a small viewing stand with weapons.
The Ghast Balloon Village Attack set, priced at $69.99 and containing 555 pieces, showcases the Nether's Ghast in a large-scale battle within a regular overworld village. This set includes one villager, two piglins, Steve, Natalie, Dawn, and an iron golem.
Both sets launch March 1st, a month before The Minecraft Movie hits theaters on April 4th. The film's September reveal sparked criticism from fans regarding the disparity between the live-action characters and the animated world. However, the director and producer, speaking to IGN in November, stated they were prepared for this reaction.
