LEGO 21162, The Taiga Adventure, depicts a small Minecraft taiga scene with Steve and a skeleton opponent. Released in 2020 under the Minecraft theme, the set includes 74 pieces and 2 minifigures.
This model represents a compact exploration scene set in a Minecraft taiga biome. Set 21162 belongs to the LEGO Minecraft theme, which adapts the game’s block based landscapes, characters and creatures into straightforward brick built forms.

The French retail title also mentions a wolf and a fox, reinforcing the taiga setting and its animal life.
The set is aimed at Minecraft fans who want a small scene for play, display or expansion of a themed collection. On its own, it works as a concise representation of the taiga biome.
