Jack Black's Minecraft Movie: Lego Sets Hint at Featured Mobs

Lego has unveiled a new line of sets inspired by the upcoming live-action film, "A Minecraft Movie," starring Jack Black. These sets provide fans with a sneak peek into the mobs and scenes they can expect to see in the movie. As reported by Games Radar, two sets have been announced: the Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring and The Ghast Balloon Village Attack, which will complement the existing range of regular Minecraft Lego sets. These new sets include figures of characters such as Jack Black's Steve and Jason Momoa's The Garbage Man.

The Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring set, priced at $49.99 and comprising 491 pieces, hints at an exciting gladiator-style battle scene in the film. It features Jason Momoa's character, The Garbage Man, engaging in combat with a zombie riding a giant chicken. Although it's unclear whether this represents a baby zombie on a regular-sized chicken or a larger-than-life scenario, the combined height of the zombie and chicken is about twice that of The Garbage Man. The set also includes figures of Steve, his friend Henry, and a giant zombie pigman, along with a fighting ring, a chest filled with gold, and a small viewing stand equipped with weapons.

The Ghast Balloon Village Attack set, priced at $69.99 and consisting of 555 pieces, confirms the appearance of the Nether's iconic marshmallow-like villain, the Ghast, in the movie. This set depicts a large battle scene in a typical overworld village, featuring a village minifigure, two piglin, Steve, characters named Natalie and Dawn, and an iron golem.

Both sets will be available starting March 1, a month before "A Minecraft Movie" premieres in theaters on April 4. The film, which was officially revealed in September, faced immediate backlash from fans due to the perceived disconnect between the live-action characters and the green screen-generated animated world. In response, one fan even recreated the trailer in a fully animated style. Speaking to IGN in November, the director and producer acknowledged this reaction but confidently stated they were "ready for everything."
