LEGO is bringing a rare moment from Minecraft to life as they unveil their newest set with the Chicken Jockey! A Chicken Jockey is one of the rarest and funniest hostile mob combinations that can be found inside the game of Minecraft. A Chicken Jockey appears when a baby zombie, baby husk, baby drowned, or baby zombified piglin rides on top of a chicken. The result is funny but super dangerous as the chicken prevents fall damage while the tiny zombie attacks at high speed.

Collectors can now build this iconic and hilarious moment with a new 344-piece set that features a brick-built baby zombie, chicken, and baby chicken. Both chicken and zombie will have movable limbs, and the zombie will be able to ride on the back of the chicken, making that infamous Chicken Jockey moment. Standing at 8" tall when fully built, Minecraft fans will be able to bring home this new set for $29.99 with an August 1, 2026, release.
