LEGO® BigFig Pig with Baby Zombie

This LEGO® Minecraft set recreates a scene players will recognise instantly: a pig carrying a baby zombie on its back, a nod to the game's occasional pig jockeys. Rather than a standard minifigure, it's built from two oversized BigFig models totalling 159 pieces and 47 unique parts. The full parts list, broken down by colour, sits further down this page.

Description

Two BigFigs, no minifigure

This set skips the standard minifigure altogether in favour of two BigFigs, LEGO®'s larger, sculptural way of building Minecraft characters and mobs. The pig forms the bulk of the model, with the smaller baby zombie perched on top, and both are assembled from dozens of shaped elements rather than the flat, stackable pieces used for a typical minifigure. It's the same approach used across the wider Minecraft range, where creatures tend to be built as standalone figures rather than flat sprites. For anyone collecting the range, it's also a fairly compact way to add two mobs at once rather than one at a time.

Colour by character

The four main colours split cleanly between the two figures: pink tones build the pig, green covers the zombie's skin, and dark bluish grey fills in smaller details on both. With 47 unique parts across 159 pieces, each element repeats roughly three times on average, which points to a build made from lots of small, purpose-shaped pieces rather than a few oversized blocks. Every colour and quantity is listed in full further down this page.

A familiar in-game moment

Pairing a pig with a riding baby zombie isn't an invented scene: it reflects an occasional occurrence in Minecraft itself, where baby zombies can spawn riding pigs. That reference is likely the main draw for players who know the game well, since the set reproduces a specific, recognisable moment rather than a generic fantasy creature. Anyone who has seen a pig jockey in-game will spot the pose and proportions immediately.

Quick to build, easy to display

At 159 pieces, the build suits a single sitting and works well for younger Minecraft fans building two figures at once. Once finished, the pig and zombie pair well as a display piece alongside other Minecraft sets, though without a minifigure included, this one leans more towards mob-focused dioramas than human-character play scenes. Collectors building out a full Minecraft shelf often pick it up specifically to fill that mob-only niche.
