Mass Effect 3 gun fans will enjoy this full scale replica of the M-77 Paladin Pistol, which is now available for pre-order via BioWare.
This high-quality masterpiece is hand-painted and hand-finished by TriForce. The gun is seven lbs and equipped with LED effects. It will be sold to only 200 lucky grabbers; the M-77 replica is highly rare and limited-edition gem. A $200 deposit is required to secure a purchase.
The gun’s retail price is $400, but it is expected that this keepsake will show up as a re-sale item on the online market for much more. Aside from it being a beautifully crafted sculpture, the M-77 Paladin Pistol also holds a sentimental meaning to die-hard Mass Effect 3 players; it is a taste of a fantastical video game in a real life setting.
