A skillful Mass Effect fan has recreated two of the most popular alien companions in the franchise in LEGO form. The fan's ingenuity has resulted in the creation of these characters, which are now gaining adulation among fans of the franchise on the internet.
The Mass Effect franchise has been regaining popularity in recent years, thanks to its latest installment, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, which has been particularly appreciated by gamers, with many players complimenting the improved gameplay and updated aesthetics. The franchise's engrossing plot and complex characters are key factors in its success, as players are easily captivated and drawn into the engaging world of Mass Effect, becoming invested in the fate of the characters they encounter.
Reddit user Shadowking224 decided to express their appreciation for the series in a creative way by making two custom Mass Effect-themed LEGO pieces. The two characters in question are Garrus Vakarian and Wrex, both of whom are fan favorites. The LEGO Garrus Vakarian is accurately recreated, complete with his sharp mandibles and face tattoo, and is seen sporting his iconic blue Turian armor and removable visor that covers his left eye. Wrex, on the other hand, boasts his distinctive Krogan facial features and scars while also wearing his signature red heavy-plated armor.
The characters are intricately designed and have been well-received by the Reddit community. The LEGO creations have been praised for their accuracy and creativity, and have garnered a lot of attention on the website. Shadowking224 has revealed that they plan on recreating all Mass Effect squadmates in LEGO form in the future.
Many gamers have also expressed their desire for a full-fledged LEGO Mass Effect set. This could be an interesting idea, as there are numerous unique and interesting locations, characters, and vehicles in Mass Effect that could be well translated into LEGO sets. The set could include iconic spaceships such as the Normandy as well as popular characters like Commander Shepard and Liara T'Soni. It could even include the enormous Citadel hub, which could be built on a large scale and have several floors and moving elevators, and maybe even multiple mini-figures to represent the various characters found on the megastructure.
It seems like many Mass Effect fans are keeping themselves busy as they eagerly await the next installment of the beloved franchise. An official Mass Effect 4 teaser trailer was released in 2020, though not many other details about the upcoming game have been revealed so far.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition is available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
