EA releasing figures with bonus DLC content for free download

We have to wait til march to play Mass Effect 3, but EA has already found a way to keep us (or die-hard fans) busy until the game arrives.

Bonus Downloadable Game Content: Each figure includes an in-pack card giving you access to downloadable in-game bonus content. Each figure contains different in-game content, exclusive to North American released product. Collect all 8 for the full experience!

The BioWare store notes, however, that the content is "slightly randomized during the registration and could include powerful new weapons and new characters. The pack could also include character boosters, weapon modifications, and weapon upgrades to make your multi-player squad stronger.

Let's just hope that this doesn't turn into another disaster like "Skylanders"
