$389 Arm of Malenia Replica Shipping This Holiday Season
PureArts' latest offering arrives in the form of a collectible inspired byElden Ring’sstatistically hardest boss, Malenia: a life-sized replica of Blade of Miquella’s right arm. The prosthesis is made of polyresin and boasts the typical attention to detail that the company’s collectibles are known for. As per usual, that quality doesn’t come cheap, as the replica is set to retail at $389. Pre-orders are now open via thePureArts website, with the entire series being limited to 3,500 units.
PureArts estimates that its new collectible will start being delivered to customers in December 2024. Aside from the replica ofMalenia’s signature arm prosthesis, the package also ships with a metal base and wall mounts, thus supporting two distinct display options out of the box. The hand’s wrist is articulated, further extending the number of possible display configurations. While PureArts did not elaborate on this feature, its official promotional materials suggest that the wrist can at the very least be moved along the horizontal axis.
This premium replica of Malenia’s arm marks PureArts' first official piece ofElden Ringmerch. But the product itself is far from the company’s first collaboration with theElden Ringpublisher, as PureArts has produced figurines based on manyhit Bandai Namco gamesover the years, includingSoulcaliburandTekkentitles. The manufacturer is also no stranger to FromSoftware IPs, having previously created figurines based on Yhorm and Pontiff Sulyvahn fromDark Souls 3. While the former has long been sold out, the latter can still be ordered from PureArts, perhaps because it starts at a fairly cost-prohibitive price point of $899.

WithElden Ringbeing by far the most successful game FromSoftware has ever made, boasting over 23 million sales as of February 2024, this upcoming piece of merch may end up being sold out before long. PureArts did not clarify whether it would entertain the idea of a second run should the first edition prove popular enough.
