Amazing Mass Effect collectible is as expensive as it looks

Gaming collectibles maker Gaming Heads has revealed it is now taking pre-orders for its latest Mass Effect piece, a 21-inch tall (¼ scale) statue of Garrus.

Garrus Vakarian, a military trained turian and initially an investigating officer of C-Sec, joins Commander Shepard’s team in the first Mass Effect. Gaming Heads’ statue designed by artist Gurjeet Singh (via Polygon) shows Garrus in his trademark armor, armed with the Incisor Sniper rifle that is featured in the game. The package also includes the Phaeston weapon, which can be swapped depending on your preference.

This exclusive Garrus statue will cost you $350, and that’s only assuming you can get one. The statue is limited to 500 pieces worldwide. You can preorder it now, but it will only be available in the first quarter of 2015.

BioWare studio director Yanick Roy recently described the next Mass Effect game’s development status as being "somewhere in the middle."
