From Software knows what they’re doing at this point when it comes to flashy character designs. They’ve seen the memes, the fanart, and the fanfare from all sorts of creations; with the trend arguably popping off with Solaire of Astora, aka the “Praise the Sun Guy.” Well, Elden Ring added a ton of characters to the pile, including the Turtle Pope.
Yep, toy and statue purveyor Youtooz has an officially licensed plushy on the way of a fan-favorite NPC. Youtooz notes that this particular release is 9 inches tall, and is modeled after Miriel, Pastor of Vows, also known as “the Turtle Pope” from Elden Ring. It’s priced at $29.99, and it’ll ship sometime within a window of September 9 through October 9 (for the US and Canada only).
Here’s the full product description:
“Miriel, Pastor of Vows arrives at Youtooz to give us all their blessings! At 9 inches tall his large green and brown shell protects the soft, yet incredibly sturdy, scaled brown body that emerges from its safety! His legs and head extend outward with a gentle smile as a white mitre sits atop their head, its gold embellishments shining as brightly as the Erdtee’s light! This plush is packed to the seams with 100% PP cotton and is made of normal minky, sublimated minky and shiny materials, absolutely perfect for cuddling or teaching you the wildest sorceries and incantations!”
While I’m holding off on getting a Turtle Pope of my own, if my daughter was old enough to play Elden Ring and liked it, I couldn’t resist. This is a really clever pull!
