Minecraft Advent Calendar - Day 12

Posted by ,

This Advent Calendar's contents have been pretty easy to guess so far regarding their type, with it alternating between microscale and minifig-scale gifts.

I'm predicting another minifigure thing today...

...and here is another minifigure! It's a Drowned Zombie, on a 2x4 plate presumably representing some water.

This minifigure has appeared in multiple sets already, and it looks good, but it's also kind of basic. Still nice to have, though! I really like the trident accessory, as well.

The water... is water. Not much to see here!

Overall - 3.0 - A welcome inclusion, but nothing special.

These were added to the game before I had to stop playing, but I don't believe I ever encountered any in-game. As for your assertion of "nothing special," I think a 2x4 plate in trans blue is pretty neat!

They do say you can drown in an inch of water. Maybe half an inch?

“The water... is water. Not much to see here!” What?! Getting a Transparent 2x4 plate in an AC is pretty great if you ask me. I know those are becoming more common in Minecraft sets, but still, I find it exciting.

A nice figure with a great accessory and display base.

We now have to ask ourselves an important question. Is this a Java or Bedrock calendar?

If this is Bedrock, the trident Drowned are quite manageable and are quite generous in dropping their tridents on death.

If this is Java, you are cooked.

Oh, @PurpleDave, do you have one of these for your hunger of zombies?

I have _a_ Drowned, but I’m not sure if this counts as a distinctly different mob because of the trident (mine just has an ammonite tile). I still need the movie chicken jockey, the molded zombie piglin, a different zombie that may appear before the year is done, and then I think there are two new Minecraft zombies set to release next year (for sure there’s a chicken jockey on a dark-bley chicken). We have a younger member who just started college that happens to be a Minecraft mega fan, and I picked her brain to help figure out which Minecraft zombies I was missing. Except I don’t mess with scale, so no microscale, no Brickheadz, and no large buildable characters. I do have four different baby zombies, though (printed torso, unprinted torso, piglin, and the first chicken jockey). I mean, quart bag, and it’s about to pop. And it doesn’t even include the Crazybricks Gingerdead Men (those go in a separate bag with a bunch of gingerbreads and tan skeletons).
