Bad news for all you Mass Effect statue collectors: Bioware has decided to end our production on future Mass Effect statues.
We thank all of you for your support and dedication on our Commander Shepard statue, we did well enough with the first one and were excited about our Saren release.
But, alas, it was not meant to be, Bioware has informed us that since there will be no new Mass Effect content until the sequel, to continue more Mass Effect products at this time would probably not find a place in the market, especially in the trying times we are heading into in 2009.
We had a blast working on what we did with Mass Effect and are proud of the Commander Shepard statue. The fact that Hyperchild was able to get out and be part of the franchise as well as interacting with all of you has been an incredible experience.
Before we turn off the lights on this production blog, we’ll post the final photos of the Saren sculpt in full view so you can have a look at the last work as well as the final tally on who would have been the third statue. The blog will go back into full gear when we are ready to announce our next big project for 2009, then we’ll bring the party back, hope you can join us as we gained so many new fans over the past year.
Happy Holidays to everyone - we’ll see you all in 2009!
PS: The above photo is of a variant “helmet-less” Shepard we were planning as well.

Here is the final box and statue shot of the Commander Shepard statue for you all to check out.
We’ve been sending out all the HighDome.com pre-orders already, but there are alot so please be patient as we get them out as quickly as possible. Hope the images here can hold you over for a little while longer.
Now that Shepard is complete we’ll be concentrating on Saren who is already under development and we’ll be bringing you early sculpting images of the rogue Specter agent himself in August.

Yes, we know we’ve defeated the purpose of the blog by only updating once a month but we wanted to post at least somewhat substantial updates.
We’re happy to announce that the Commander Shepard statue is completed and is now on route by sea to our various distributors around the world and you should be getting it in the mail or in stores in the next few weeks. Its been a long journey for us and for some of you who have been very supportive of us and have stood up to the plate and pre-ordered from us and we appreciate that more than you can realize. We will definitely be “giving back” to those that came in early on Shepard with our second release Saren, so expect some details in your inbox when we open Saren for pre-ordering.
An army of Commander Shepard’s get ready to be added to your collection:
Delicate hand-painting of the Shepard head:
Speaking of Saren, production has begun and we have already submitted some Phase 1 sculpts to BioWare, and we’re refining the rogue Spectre agent together, when he’s at a better stage we’ll be bringing him out to showcase here hopefully before the end of July.
And finally, the big San Diego Comic-Con International is coming up July 24-27th and if you drop by the Diamond Comics booth you’ll be able to see the Commander Shepard statue there if you want to check it out and you’ll be able to find out from them a list of U.S. retailers carrying the Shepard statue.
If you were waiting for it to be completed, you can order now at HighDome.com.
And in case your didn’t know (because you are a Mac person) Mass Effect is now available on PC. Click here for more info.
And oh yeah, we just saw this today on the Marvel site. Thanks for noticing us, Frank Castle. Who says The Punisher doesn’t read our blog:
