I don't really understand all the N7's being slapped on the Ryder twins in all these promotional figures/pictures/etc. Is it just cause it's iconic or do we actually become an honorary N7 at some point in the game, I wonder? Or does Ryder just get their dad's armor and run around like Shepard in Cerberus armor post-ME2? :S

I wouldn't be surprised if Ryder winds up getting his/her hands on a set of N7 armor at some point in the game, though. |

I'm thinking we get it towards the end of the game and possibly wear it in his memory. Wouldn't need to be an official N7 since there is no Alliance (I think). PLus it's brand recognition. |

The ones from the article were at a Toy Fair so maybe the design changed a bit? |

Hmm, not sure if want now. Are those even the same figures? I'd rather have them in their Ai armor anyways.

I'm not sure that accounts for the apparent difference in quality there projectpatdc. In any case, here's hoping that the final product looks a good deal better than the IGN article suggests. |

Never been into collectors stuff but I want one for Mass Effect |

I begin to think people are too picky. Those first pictures we got were mock-ups; for the non-collectors out there, think the difference between someone's photoshopped Instagram pic, and then meeting them for coffee.  That said, they are MILES ahead of the shoddy DC/Big Fish ME2 figures, and for $20, you could do a crap ton worse. |

It's not being picky to say that the quality of the figures shown in the IGN article doesn't appear to match the quality of the figures shown on the website from which they are being sold: mcfarlane.com/toys/sara-ryder/ |

PLus the advertisement shows them with the helmet on. For a $20 figure that is actually articulated to do poses, I don't expect their face and other details to be on the same quality as say 10" $130 figure from Final Fantasy XV.  |

I hope you're right projectpatdc, because those IGN pics are a little unflattering to say the least. Regarding my own expectations, I wouldn't think it entirely unreasonable to expect something as well crafted as the figures Dark Horse produced for the outstanding Wild Hunt.
Fingers firmly crossed, eh? |

Entered the link to possibly see if there is new info there in some form. Stumbled across IGN's comment section... a HUGE mistake.

It's got to be their father's armor. I'm thinking we get it towards the end of the game and possibly wear it in his memory. Wouldn't need to be an official N7 since there is no Alliance (I think). PLus it's brand recognition. Or we go full Conrad Verner, and make the badge ourselves. (because Papa wouldn't let us wear his armor) |

Or does Ryder just get their dad's armor and run around like Shepard in Cerberus armor post-ME2? :S It's iconic, but with everything we've seen so far from Andromeda it feels totally unnecessary and tacked on just because it's iconic. The new Ai logo and blue-white-black color palette fits the game way better and looks just as good, but with N7/red-black thrown in it clashes and just looks inconsistient. |

Do people actually buy these things? Some of the rarer / out of production models are even sold on the black market for exorbitant prices. |
