That doesn't look like my Commander Shepard. They shouldn't have made the only customizable character in the game.

yeah, there is no way i am going to fork out on a figurine from a game that looks nothing like my character. I only really buy movie figurines anyway. Thinking of movie figurines, the cloverfield monster one is a big let down.

@webster1990 (once again this is a stupid reply system)

how can you even judge the cloverfield figurine if no pictures have been released yet? do you work for Hasbro?

ah, i was using firefox and couldn't find the image. but after using explorer, i'd have to agree it looks pretty underwhelming. i'd expect someone like Todd McFarlane Toys to make a better monster, but oh well.

oh and apologies and thanks to Greg B. for letting us use his inbox. (see how stupid that sounded? fix this system!)

Eh?

That just looks like some random N7 marine.

Doesn't even look like default John Shepard, which I used anyway just because I liked the look and couldn't be bothered to use the face editor.

They should have made Wrex, Tali or Garrus.

Wow... A lot of nitpicking. The placement or side of his weapon? Seriously?

I understand that a lot of people made their own version of Shepard, but all of the official game art had that particular design. The game was marketed with that image.

Customizing your character is just an option, like changing the name of your characters in any other RPG. I was really into making my own guy, but halfway through it decided to go with the character the actual writers of the story created.

@hiiro,

That's the thing though, this figurine looks nothing like the default John Shepard character created by game designers:

(that's the RL model Shepard's face was modeled after on the right)

Glad I cancelled my pre-order. This looks horrible and so does the Cloverfield monster.
