BioWare's sudden shuttering and the cancelation of its legendary series, Mass Effect, came as an enormous blow to both the industry and fans. It, much like the premature closing down of many other beloved studios over the past few years, is sure to have an adverse effect on the industry as a whole; the disappearance of originality and the wider pool of talent ultimately curtails the degree of possibility within the world of development.
Fans have attempted to save BioWare and Mass Effect from being eradicated, although the extent to which these campaigns will succeed is questionable. Still, it's reassuring to see so many reach out in support, if only to remind the industry how loved the studio and its numerous IPs were. While these fans continue to passionately defend BioWare, EA is still releasing new products and collaborations related to Mass Effect, at least until the whole affair winds down. One such post-mortem project is Mass Effect: Sovereign, a new collection of merchandise that fans will want to check out.
Mass Effect: Sovereign is a brand-new collectible from licensed toy manufacturer Master Replicas. It is a replica of the ship Sovereign from the first Mass Effect game that serves as the flagship of the title's antagonist, Saren. Built using the actual in-game assets from Mass Effect, this replica is the spitting image of Saren's ship and is packed full of detail that fans will absolutely appreciate. Of course, it doesn't make up for the cancelation of Mass Effect, but for those determined to make a shrine for the game, it would certainly make for an excellent addition to any collection.
The Sovereign replica is made from die-cast metal, giving it a surprising amount of weight and removing the cheap, plasticky feeling other figurines and replicas can have. It's roughly 8.66 inches tall, so while not the biggest replica out there, it'll sit comfortably on your shelf or even desk. It joins a collection of Mass Effect ship replicas from the same company, which also includes a replica of the Normandy and Geth Dreadnought.
If you are interested in picking up the Mass Effect: Sovereign ship replica, then you can do so via Master Replica's official website. You'll also find the aforementioned Normandy and Geth Dreadnought there as well. The Sovereign costs $116, as do the other ships in the collection, which certainly puts it on the more expensive side of Mass Effect collectibles. If you want the full collection, you'll need to spend $348 in total. As you're paying for premium products, this isn't totally surprising, but it's certainly something that needs to be taken into consideration.
The Mass Effect: Sovereign replica joins a flurry of new Mass Effect projects releasing at a rapid pace. These are likely due to stop, although the TV show is still greenlit and preparing to enter production. It's possible that all of this will eventually see the return of the games, especially should it all continue to sell well, but the chances are that we're merely seeing the life of the beloved RPG come to its bitter end. Of course, that shouldn't stop those excited about Mass Effect's latest piece of merchandise from being excited about adding it to their collection.
