Mattel Creations Debuts Two Minecraft Collectibles

— August 7, 2025 — Life-Stages
Mattel Creations has unveiled two exclusive Minecraft collectibles tied to San Diego Comic-Con. The release delivers both high-end action figures and cuddly plush options to fans of the popular game.

The standout item in Mattel Creations' new Minecraft collectibles line is a large-scale Chicken Jockey action figure. This toy features two figures — a seven-inch baby zombie and a five and 1/4-inch chicken. These two are complete with swappable face plates and a soft fabric shirt for display versatility. For younger fans or those seeking softer merchandise, Mattel Creations boasts an eight-inch Zombie Chicken Jockey plush that captures the game's pixelated aesthetic in premium fabrics.

Both exclusives leverage nostalgia for Minecraft's beloved Chicken Jockey meme while capitalizing on excitement around the upcoming film adaptation.
