Lego has unveiled an exciting new range of sets inspired by the upcoming live-action film, "A Minecraft Movie," starring Jack Black as Steve. These sets provide fans with a sneak peek at the mobs and characters they can expect to see on the big screen. As reported by Games Radar, two new sets have been announced: the Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring and The Ghast Balloon Village Attack, which will complement the existing lineup of regular Minecraft sets.
The Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring set, priced at $49.99 and consisting of 491 pieces, hints at a thrilling gladiator-style battle scene in the movie. It features Jason Momoa's character, The Garbage Man, engaged in combat with a zombie mounted on a giant chicken. While it's uncertain whether this represents a baby zombie on a regular-sized chicken or a larger-than-life scenario, the entire setup towers over The Garbage Man. Alongside this dramatic centerpiece, the set includes figures of Steve, his companion Henry, and a colossal zombie pigman, complemented by a gold-filled chest and a small viewing stand equipped with weapons.
On the other hand, The Ghast Balloon Village Attack set, retailing for $69.99 with 555 pieces, suggests a significant confrontation involving the Nether's iconic ghast in a regular overworld village. This set includes a village minifigure, two piglin, Steve, characters named Natalie and Dawn, and an iron golem, setting the stage for an intense battle.
Both sets will be available starting March 1, just 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 contrast between the live-action characters and the animated world created with green screen technology. In response to this criticism, the director and producer, in an interview with IGN in November, acknowledged the feedback but assured fans that they were prepared for any challenges ahead.
