Lego Unveils New Minecraft Movie Sets Featuring Jack Black and Jason Momoa
Ahead of the live-action Minecraft movie starring Jack Black, Lego has announced two new sets offering a glimpse into the film's mob roster. Games Radar reports that the "Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring" and "The Ghast Balloon Village Attack" sets will join the existing Minecraft Lego lineup. These sets include minifigures of Black's Steve and Jason Momoa's character, The Garbage Man.
The $49.99, 491-piece Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring depicts a gladiatorial battle scene featuring Momoa's The Garbage Man battling a zombie riding a giant chicken. The scale of the chicken and zombie remains unclear, but the mount is approximately twice the height of The Garbage Man. The set also includes Steve, Henry, a giant zombie pigman, a treasure chest, and a small viewing stand with weapons.
The $69.99, 555-piece Ghast Balloon Village Attack set features a large-scale battle in an overworld village, showcasing the Nether's Ghast. 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's theatrical release on April 4th. The film's September reveal sparked criticism from fans regarding the contrast between the live-action characters and the animated world. However, the director and producer, speaking to IGN in November, expressed confidence in their approach, stating they were "ready for everything."
