Lego has unveiled an exciting new range of sets inspired by the upcoming live-action film, "A Minecraft Movie," directed by Jack Black. These sets provide a sneak peek into the mobs and characters fans can expect to encounter in the film. 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 collection of regular Minecraft Lego sets. These sets will feature minifigures of characters such as Jack Black's Steve and Jason Momoa's The Garbage Man, adding a unique twist to the Minecraft universe.
The Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring set, priced at $49.99 and containing 491 pieces, hints at a thrilling gladiator-style battle scene in the film. It showcases Momoa's character, The Garbage Man, engaged in combat with a zombie riding a giant chicken. Although it's uncertain whether this represents a baby zombie on a regular-sized chicken or a larger-than-life scenario, the overall height is approximately twice that of The Garbage Man. This set also includes Steve, his friend Henry, and a massive zombie pigman, alongside 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 boasting 555 pieces, indicates that the Nether's iconic ghast will make a notable appearance in the film. This set depicts a large-scale battle scene in a traditional overworld village. It includes a village minifigure, two piglins, Steve, characters named Natalie and Dawn, and an iron golem, setting the stage for an epic confrontation.
Both sets are slated for release on March 1, a month before "A Minecraft Movie" premieres in theaters on April 4. Fans eager to dive into the action and explore these new additions to the Minecraft Lego universe can mark their calendars.
The film, which was officially revealed in September, has already sparked discussions among fans. Some have criticized the juxtaposition of live-action characters against a green screen-generated animated world. In response to this feedback, the director and producer addressed concerns in a November interview with IGN, assuring fans that they were prepared for all reactions and were committed to delivering a compelling cinematic experience.
