We’ve had 19 inches of Venom, now get ready for 18 inches of Messmer The Impaler. Publisher Bandai Namco recently began marketing the upcoming Elden Ring expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree. For those unaware, the collector’s edition of the DLC includes a figurine of Messmer The Impaler, the poster boss for the expansion. In a tweet referencing Sony’s viral 19 inches of Venom post, Bandai Namco jumped in on the joke too.
“Treat yourself to 18 inches of Messmer The Impaler and more with the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Collector’s Edition,” said Bandai Namco in a recent social media post advertising the upcoming collector’s edition for Shadow of the Erdtree.
As expected, the internet’s response was very normal and reasonable.
I already have it ordered! I’ve never been so excited to receive 18 inches 🫡🫡

“I can handle Messmer, not in a fight mind you but you know,” said one user. Another wrote, “Is this a challenge?”
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree will deliver plenty of new content including new bosses, weapons, armour, locations, enemies and more. It’s expected to be a pretty massive expansion considering its price tag.
