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 not only enhance the anticipation for the movie but also provide a glimpse into the various mobs and characters fans can expect to encounter on the big screen.
As reported by Games Radar, two sets have been announced so far: the Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring and The Ghast Balloon Village Attack. These sets will complement the existing lineup of regular Minecraft Lego sets and feature figures of key characters like Jack Black's Steve and Jason Momoa's 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 film. It depicts Momoa's character, The Garbage Man, engaging 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 if it's to scale, the total height of the figure is about twice that of The Garbage Man. This set also includes Steve, his companion Henry, and a giant 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 with 555 pieces, indicates that the film will feature the Nether's iconic marshmallow-like villain, the Ghast, in a large-scale battle scene set in a regular overworld village. This set includes a village minifigure, two piglins, Steve, Natalie, Dawn, and an iron golem, offering fans a detailed representation of the anticipated action.

Both sets will be available for purchase starting March 1, a month before *A Minecraft Movie* premieres in theaters on April 4.
The film, first revealed in September, faced immediate backlash from fans who criticized the visual contrast between the live-action characters and the green-screen generated animated world. One dedicated fan even recreated the trailer in a fully animated style. In response to the criticism, the director and producer acknowledged the feedback during an interview with IGN in November, confidently stating they were "ready for everything."
