Available for November preorder on AmiAmi, anime merch company Movic is making an adorable little Iron Fist Alexander mug , complete with removable faux-wax seal lid. No longer harboring the viscera of legendary warriors or oppressed matriarchal mystics, this little pot boy's destined to have a belly full of joe, or maybe some chamomile when it's too close to bedtime. Variations on the theme of warrior jar are probably the #1 most common form of Elden Ring tchotchke on Etsy, but I don't think anyone's ever done a mug before—it's mostly posable figures or planters.
With that in mind, the Movic mug is kind of a stroke of genius, a practical piece of Elden merch instead of another bit or boobah destined for the shelves. The mug looks quite nice and game-accurate too, with its arms crossed in stern fashion. It's about $27 for the fall preorder, and maybe by the time it ships we'll all have forgotten the horrifying new lore about the pot boys from Shadow of the Erdtree .
Yes, while we always knew they were filled with dead bodies, it turns out the warrior jars' primeval origins were as a tool of extermination against a peaceful people called the Shamans. Remember the Jar Bairn adorably asking you to become his potentate? The original Potentates were torturers who hacked the Shamans up for jar-stuffing purposes. But I'm good at compartmentalizing, so I don't think that would bother me none.
The only thing stopping me from buying one is that I might want to buy some of Movic's .
