Exclusive Mass Effect 3 DLC Bundled With Action Figures

Just as they’ve done with their last few releases, BioWare has plans in place to combine exclusive downloadable content for Mass Effect 3 with other items – in this case, two separate four-packs of Mass Effect action figures. The first pack can be purchased from the BioWare Store for $75.00, while the second pack can be purchased from BigBadToyStore.com and likely other places as the game draws closer to release.  “Collect all 8 for the full experience!”:

Back by popular demand! Collect 4 of your favorite Mass Effect leading characters, complete with updated Mass Effect 3 branded packaging.

4-Pack Includes: Shepard, Grunt, Thane, and Tali figures.

Figures stand approximately 7″ tall.

These products contain codes that can be redeemed for a downloadable content pack for Mass Effect 3 multi-player. They are slightly randomized during the registration and could include powerful new weapons and new characters. The pack could also include character boosters, weapon modifications, and weapon upgrades to make your multi-player squad stronger. (Only supported on XBox360 and PC.)

This is a pre-sale item with an estimated ship date of April/May 2012

Each character includes updated photos, character bio, storyline, and logo, and is packaged with Mass Effect 3 branding.

Bonus Downloadable Game Content: Each figure includes an in-pack card giving you access to downloadable in-game bonus content. Each figure contains different in-game content, exclusive to North American released product. Collect all 8 for the full experience!

This set is to include the following figures:

1x Miranda: 6.7″h
1x Mordin: 6.75″h
1x Legion: 7.25″h
1x Garrus: 6.75″h

So the bundled DLC won’t be made available until a month or two after the game’s release? Thanks, NekoPanOnline.
