Most-played games range from Clair Obscur to Civ to Elden Ring to Halo 2 and beyond. Elden Ring has no shortage of incredible bosses throughout the Lands Between, each with their own unique and original backstories connected to the game's elaborate lore. With the recent release of the Tarnished Edition on Switch 2, both returning and new players are getting reacquainted with the game's incredibly challenging bosses, though there's arguably no more challenging foe Tarnished will face than Malenia, Blade of Miquella and Goddess of Rot. Found in the depths of Elphael at the Brace of the Haligtree, Malenia is an extremely challenging and infamous two-stage boss, whose story is tied to her twin brother Miquella, her lifelong struggle against the Scarlet Rot, and her legendary battle against Starscourge Radahn that left the entire region of Caelid devastated by the deadly affliction. She's an integral piece of the larger mythos, one of the most iconic and recognizable enemies in the game, and now, she's officially set to make a triumphant return in 2027 thanks to a stunning new Elden Ring release. Malenia, Blade of Miquella, is preparing to make a stunning return in 2027, although not necessarily in the way Elden Ring fans might be expecting. The infamous Goddess of Rot is being immortalized in a beautiful new collectible statue from Spirit Cat Studio, bringing one of FromSoftware's most recognizable characters to life in breathtaking detail. Currently available for preorder through TopGKStore and a select few other outlets, the Malenia 1/4 Scale Resin Statue is an impressive recreation of the legendary demigod, featuring her iconic golden armor, prosthetic limbs, flowing scarlet hair, and distinctive winged helmet. She's depicted wielding her enormous katana, the Hand of Miquella, standing atop a detailed Scarlet Rot-styled base. The statue gives Malenia a gorgeous and absolutely enormous crimson cape, which stretches behind her and features intricate details and colorful butterflies. The design also incorporates an optional carving of her twin brother Miquella, a nod to Malenia's backstory in Elden Ring. The statue is made out of premium materials, including resin, PU, and polystone, and stands approximately 60 centimeters (or roughly 24 inches) tall. It's a massive centerpiece for any Elden Ring collector that you'll have to clear up some counter space for. The statue is a limited-edition collectible, and will be limited to just 88 units. You can choose between different configurations, with colorful butterfly accessories and the aforementioned Miquella carvings available, so collectors have some flexibility in how they display her. Naturally, a massive collectible statue at this scale comes with a serious price tag, currently listed for between $599 and $649 USD, depending on the selected configuration. Shipping is not included in that price and will be calculated separately when the statue is ready for delivery. Collectors should bank on an early 2027 shipping date as a realistic expectation, though the retailer's original product information lists between Q4 2026 and early 2027. As such, fans could conceivably receive their statues before the end of this year, although delivery could also stretch into the opening months of 2027. Regardless of the precise release date, Spirit Cat Studio's Malenia statue looks like a spectacular tribute to one of Elden Ring's most unforgettable characters, offering fans an opportunity to bring the legendary Goddess of Rot into their homes without having to survive another encounter against her devastating Waterfowl Dance.
