30 pounds of plastic went into this fan creationOne of the coolest visuals in Elden Ring, the Walking Mausoleum (https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Walking+Mausoleum), caught my eye long before we got to play the game or knew it by name ? the stomping giant was in the first gameplay trailer (https://www.destructoid.com/elden-ring-january-2022-release-date-gameplay-trailer/), and I distinctly remember it setting off sparks in my imagination. In a trailer full of cool shit, it stood out to me; it got me wondering about the gameplay possibilities that could come out of an open-ended world designed by FromSoftware.
Months after exhausting the game (for now), I still think about these big boys (https://www.destructoid.com/how-to-get-into-the-elden-ring-walking-mausoleums-turtle-towers/).
A fan on Reddit, HoboSapient (https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/wh03tn/wondering_mausoleum_that_i_built_with_lego/), shares my enthusiasm ? and then some. They created a big, detailed, surprisingly heavy LEGO version of Elden Ring's Walking Mausoleum. (Thanks, PC Gamer (https://www.pcgamer.com/an-elden-ring-wandering-mausoleum-made-of-lego-is-glorious/).)

The build weighs 30 pounds and uses an estimated five to six thousand pieces.
How'd they source all of those bricks? "Whole lotta Pick-a-Brick at the LEGOstore, plus 20+ years of collecting," according to the builder. "Lots of Technic, (https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/technic)" too.
Four months ago, HoboSapient shared a concept (https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/tvflb8/i_built_the_top_half_of_the_wandering_mausoleum/) for the top half of the Walking Mausoleum. The version we're seeing today was scaled down "somewhat."
I'll echo what some of you are surely thinking: this looks good enough to be an official LEGO product, and it would be a tempting one, at that. And pricey as hell. For now (and likely forever), it's a one-of-a-kind creation. HoboSapient should be proud.
They even sealed the deal with a cat (Gwynny) for scale.

You know those old Toys"R"Us holiday catalogs (https://geewhiznostalgia.com/1993-toys-r-us-christmas-catalog/) that were perfect for gifts from grandparents? I'm picturing this in the LEGO section, and I would've circled it so hard.
For more shots, including a look at the underside bell, check the Reddit thread.
Whether it's a slow gaming news day or a non-stop one, I love these passion projects.
