LEGO Minecraft 21258 A Minecraft Movie: Villager Bust Rumoured For May 2025

As we start April, attention is very quickly turning to one of the most anticipated and meme-worthy films of 2025: A Minecraft Movie. For the LEGO Minecraft theme, however, new reports which came out today, 1st of April 2025, suggest that a brand new 18+ model will be released in a month's time on the 1st of May 2025.

21258 A Minecraft Movie: Villager Bust will be the second LEGO Minecraft D2C following on from 2024's 21265 The Crafting Table, which celebrated 10 years of the licensed theme. This new model will also be our third set based on the blockbuster film after both 1272 Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring and 21273 The Ghast Balloon Village Attack launched on the 1st of March 2025.

As the name suggests, 21258 recreates the iconic blocky look of a Minecraft Villager in a life-sized, display-oriented build. This suggests that the 18+ model will be very similar to LEGO Marvel's now-retired 76215 Black Panther. However, this brick-built Villager Bust will be a lot smaller, with a total of 1,432 pieces retailing for $129.99 / €129.99 / £114.99.

Even though exact measurements are unknown, the Villager Bust will be a commanding display piece for Minecraft fans to celebrate the upcoming movie. Built using a blocky structure, the set will be faithful to the in-game design, ensuring the classic and iconic pixelated look is translated into brick-built form.

The Villager's oversized nose will be a key feature of the 18+ display model. Reports from our very trusty and totally not fake insider suggest that the nose will be built from sloped LEGO bricks to match the rectangular snout shape. The Villager will also include printed tiles for its pixelated green eyes and a removable brown hood to expose its shiny and blocky bald head.

Being a bust, only the top half of the villager will be recreated, and there will be no movement in the figure due to its tight and complicated brick-built structure. But further, totally not April Fools fake reports claim that a GWP of a small sound brick will be releasing alongside 21258. This can then be attached to the brick-built Villager and play sounds such as the classic "Hmmm..." Villager sound, the "No" grunt when a trade is declined, and more of iconic chit-chat from our favourite in-game villagers.
