LEGO Minecraft: the Chicken Jockey (21582) on pre-order (August 2026)

LEGO has confirmed one of the most anticipated Minecraft sets of the autumn: the Chicken Jockey (21582) recreates in bricks the well-known pairing of a baby zombie riding on the back of a chicken. The set is a direct nod to the video game and to one of its rarest mobs, made here as large-scale buildable figures with moving parts. Pre-orders are already open, with release planned for August 2026.

With 344 pieces and recommended for ages 9 and up, the set includes three figures built entirely from bricks. The baby zombie has ball joints in the legs, arms and head, the chicken has moving wings and legs, and a small chick completes the scene. Placing the zombie on the studs on the chicken's back recreates the exact pose of the Chicken Jockey, the rare hostile mob that appears in the game when a baby zombie rides a chicken, and which has become very popular with fans.

Once built, the figures can be used for play or displayed on a shelf or desk, and the LEGO Builder app supports the build with 3D views of the models. The Chicken Jockey is already available to pre-order from the LEGO Shop, ahead of its release in August 2026.
