Elden Ring collectors interested in a premium Malenia display piece can now assess the key details: Spirit Cat Studio’s 1/4-scale resin statue is listed for preorder, carries a $599-$649 price range, and is currently expected to ship in Q4 2026. It is a collector-focused release rather than new playable Elden Ring content, so players waiting for another trip to the Lands Between should keep those expectations separate.
What is available to preorder
The new Malenia collectible is a 1/4-scale resin statue from Spirit Cat Studio, listed through TopGKStore. The piece depicts Malenia, Blade of Miquella, one of Elden Ring’s most recognizable bosses. Her visual identity—red hair, artificial limbs and Scarlet Rot-infused combat—has made her a particularly popular figure among fans of FromSoftware’s open-world Soulslike.
The statue is positioned above typical game merchandise in both scale and cost. Its listed price falls between $599 and $649, placing it firmly in the high-end statue market. The store offers buyers the choice of placing a deposit or paying the full price upfront, which may matter for collectors planning around the release window.
Which edition best fits your collection
TopGKStore lists three variants, described on the product page as DLC editions. The primary difference is the butterfly element and its effect on the statue’s cape presentation. Buyers can select a colorful butterfly version, a solid-color butterfly version, or an option with no butterfly.
That choice makes this release more flexible than a single fixed display design, though it does not change the core statue format. Collectors should review the comparison imagery and edition names on the listing before committing, especially since the visual treatment of the cape differs between the available versions.
When to expect Malenia and what comes next
The listing gives the statue a Q4 2026 shipping target, with an estimated arrival around December 30. As with any preorder collectible, that estimate is the currently listed schedule rather than a guarantee that should be treated as a fixed launch date.
The announcement does not point to a new Malenia game, an Elden Ring sequel, or additional official game content. FromSoftware is currently focused on the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive The Duskbloods. While Malenia remains a character with obvious fan appeal, the studio’s history generally favors moving to new ideas rather than repeatedly returning to the same world, with Dark Souls standing as its notable exception.

Expert View
For dedicated Elden Ring collectors, the statue’s scale, Malenia-focused design and variant selection make it a notable option. The price and long wait mean it is best suited to buyers who specifically value premium display collectibles, not fans hoping this announcement signals imminent new Elden Ring content.
