"Minecraft Movie Lego Sets Reveal Mobs for Jack Black Film"

Lego has unveiled an exciting new line of A Minecraft Movie sets that provide fans with a sneak peek at the mobs and scenes they can anticipate in the upcoming Jack Black-led live-action film. As reported by Games Radar, the two sets announced so far are the Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring and The Ghast Balloon Village Attack. These new sets will complement the existing range of regular Minecraft Lego sets, and feature 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 consisting of 491 pieces, hints at a thrilling gladiator-style battle scene in the movie. It depicts Momoa's character, The Garbage Man, in combat with a zombie riding a giant chicken. While it's unclear whether the chicken is scaled up or if it represents a baby zombie on a regular-sized chicken, the duo is approximately twice the height of The Garbage Man. This set also includes Steve, his friend Henry, and a towering 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 featuring 555 pieces, showcases the Nether's marshmallow-esque villain, the Ghast, suggesting its appearance in the film. The set depicts a significant battle scene set in a regular overworld village, and includes one village minifigure, two piglins, Steve, Natalie, 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 criticism 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 feedback but assured fans that they "were ready for everything."
