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

Lego has unveiled an exciting lineup of A Minecraft Movie sets, offering fans a glimpse into the mobs and scenes they can expect to see in the upcoming Jack Black-led live-action film. According to Games Radar, the first two sets to be released are the Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring and The Ghast Balloon Village Attack, complementing the existing range of Minecraft sets. These new sets will feature figures such as 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 showcases Momoa's character engaging in combat with a zombie riding a giant chicken, though it's uncertain whether this represents a baby zombie on a regular chicken or is simply not to scale. The set also includes Steve, his friend 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, which retails for $69.99 and includes 555 pieces, indicates that the Nether's iconic ghast will also feature in the movie. This set appears to depict a large-scale battle in a typical overworld village and includes one villager minifigure, two piglins, Steve, Natalie, Dawn, and an iron golem.

Both sets will be available starting March 1, a month ahead of A Minecraft Movie's theatrical release on April 4. When the film was officially announced in September, it faced immediate backlash from fans concerned about the contrast between the live-action characters and the green screen-generated animated world. In response to this criticism, the director and producer, speaking to IGN in November, assured fans that they were prepared for all feedback and were ready to deliver an exceptional experience.
