Lego has unveiled a new line of sets inspired by the upcoming live-action film, "A Minecraft Movie," starring Jack Black as Steve. These sets provide a sneak peek at the mobs and characters that fans can anticipate seeing on the big screen. As detailed by Games Radar, two sets have been announced so far: the Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring and The Ghast Balloon Village Attack, complementing the existing range of Minecraft Lego sets. These new sets introduce figures of Jack Black's Steve and Jason Momoa's character, The Garbage Man.
The Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring set, priced at $49.99 and comprising 491 pieces, hints at a thrilling gladiator-style battle scene in the movie. It features Momoa's The Garbage Man battling a zombie astride a giant chicken. While it's uncertain whether this represents a baby zombie on a regular chicken or is scaled differently, the combined height of the zombie and chicken is roughly twice that of The Garbage Man. The set also includes Steve, his companion Henry, and a colossal zombie pigman, along with a fighting ring, a gold-filled chest, and a small viewing stand equipped with weapons.

The Ghast Balloon Village Attack set, retailing at $69.99 with 555 pieces, indicates that the film will feature the iconic Nether mob, the Ghast, in a dramatic battle within an overworld village. This set includes a village minifigure, two piglins, Steve, characters named Natalie and Dawn, and an iron golem.

Both sets will be available starting March 1, a month ahead of the film's theatrical release on April 4. "A Minecraft Movie" was officially announced in September and immediately drew criticism from fans concerned about the disparity between the live-action characters and the CGI-animated world. In response to this feedback, the director and producer, speaking to IGN in November, assured fans that they were prepared to address all concerns and deliver a compelling cinematic experience.
