Mass Effect 3′s release date is coming near by the day and it looks like BioWare and EA are leaving no stone unturned for the success of the popular game. They have been promoting the game for a while now and have been coming up with new ideas. One of which is the additional multiplayer content that will be coming with the action figures of the game which will each have a code that will unlock extra bits and pieces for Mass Effect 3′s new co-op mode.

The randomised codes “could include powerful new weapons and new characters,” according to a post on the Bioware store, or they could contain “character boosters, weapon modifications, and weapon upgrades to make your multi-player squad stronger.”

The four figures can be pre-ordered ahead of shipment in April/May for $75.on the Bioware site.

The Big Bad Toy Store has eight figures listed available for $17.99 each including Shepard, Tali, Thane, Garrus, Legion, Miranda, Mordin and Grunt. If you have $650, there’s also a full size replica of a Mass Effect assault rifle.

Retailers have already been outlining their pre-order bonus packages for Mass Effect 3, which will include extra armour and weapons for ME3′s single player campaign.

The game releases on March 6 in US and on March 9 in Europe.
