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 provide a sneak peek into the mobs and scenes fans can anticipate in the movie. According to Games Radar, the two sets announced so far are the Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring and The Ghast Balloon Village Attack, which will complement the existing Minecraft Lego collection and include figures of Black's Steve and Jason Momoa's character, The Garbage Man.
The Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring, priced at $49.99 and containing 491 pieces, hints at a gladiator-style battle scene in the film. It features Momoa's The Garbage Man character engaging in combat with a zombie riding a giant chicken, which appears to be about twice the height of The Garbage Man. This set also includes Steve, his friend Henry, a giant zombie pigman, 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 Nether's iconic marshmallow-like villain, the Ghast, will also feature in the film. This set portrays a large-scale battle in a regular overworld village, and includes one villager minifigure, two piglins, Steve, characters named Natalie and 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 backlash from fans due to the perceived mismatch between the live-action characters and the animated world created using green screen technology. Some fans even went as far as recreating the trailer in a fully animated style to express their dissatisfaction. In response, the film's director and producer, speaking to IGN in November, acknowledged the criticism but confidently stated that they were "ready for everything."
