Elden Ring Players Who Really Hated Malenia Can Now Buy Her Detached Arm for Almost $400

Elden Ring fans rejoice, for you can now preorder a limited run, life-size replica of the demigod Malenia’s golden prosthetic right arm, courtesy of a partnership between publisher Bandai Namco, and collectibles distributor PureArts Studio.

The faithfully recreated polyresin limb is currently available to preorder through the Bandai Namco store for $389 and has an estimated delivery date of December 2024. The replica — which is limited to a run of 3,500 units — features a fully articulated wrist and faithfully detailed golden finish, along with a metal base and wall mount option.

Malenia’s two-phase boss fight is arguably the toughest scrap that Hidetaka Miyazaki’s 2022 smash hit Elden Ring has to offer, thanks to the swordswoman’s devastatingly graceful and unpredictable moves which healed her and dealt damage to the player simultaneously. Thankfully, PureArts Studio chose not to recreate her devastating golden sword as part of the collectible, so you don’t need to worry about breaking out in cold sweat each time you lay eyes on it.

Tarnished, summon the Spirit Ashes! Welcome the Arm of Malenia Life-Size Replica from PureArts.

Embellished in gold and with an articulated wrist feature, you also have two display options: metal base or wall mount.

The years following Elden Ring’s release have seen some masochistic fans go out of their way to defeat Malenia using a range of improvised and eclectic controllers, and to release a mod that replaced every enemy in the game with the red-haired warrior.

Then there’s the legend of ‘Let Me Solo Her’, a crusading Elden Ring player who made it his business to fight Malenia on the behalf of others, to allow them to progress through the game, while wearing nothing but a pot on his head.

Malenia’s story will perhaps be fleshed out a little more in the upcoming Elden Ring expansion Shadow of the Erdtree, in which her twin brother Miquella is set to play a significant role. Why not check out our Elden Ring guide for all the tips and tricks you need to get you back in fighting shape before Shadow of the Erdtree drops on PC and console on June 21.
