Yeah, considering the romances I took part in in the game, I would have preferred an Ashley or Tali statue.McNinja said:Why Bioware even commissioned this statue in the first place is beyond me. I mean, a character who is supposed to be a legitimate scientist/archeologist is turned into a sexy figuring. Way to completely screw that whole "characterization" thing. I mean, was Miranda to hard to sculpt?
Actually that confirmed that I WAS looking at the right one, and I stand by my original declaration that the new b0bbz are still pretty massive.Paragon Fury said:No.Freaky Lou said:I am talking about the new ones when I say that--I think. The boobs are still gray, but the face and clothes are coloured. Am I looking at the right one?Paragon Fury said:The first picture where the statue is still grey is the original, with the original, glorious bust.Freaky Lou said:Those are still colossal mammaries. I of course say this without having seen the original picture, but the point remains.
The colored ones are the new, production variant.
The original one with the magnificent bust is on the far left, with the yellow background is completely unpainted.
The new one that they're selling is the one on the right with the colored background and has been painted.
To be fair, Power Girl had boobs like that anyway...Scarim Coral said:Because apparently there is a market for turning westen friction female characters into anime girls figures-Frostbite3789 said:Oh man Liara looks like she's in one of those Japanese animes!
I don't understand why they're contracting a Japanese company, who is giving the character a Japanese influenced look...
If you mean just having a non anime version of her than I don't know why they went for the anime version in the first place since I would assume people would of prefer the non anime look.
This, this oh lord this.Sunfirecross said:I pre-ordered this months ago. I would have bought it even with the previous bust size people were complaining about. I personally like the style, as not only am I a fan of the Mass Effect Series; I am also a rather large anime/Manga fan as well.
People need to calm down and learn how to not complain at things they probably wouldn't buy anyways.

Thank you! I thought I was the only one thinking that! (Erins words suddenly run through my head: You are never the "only one", Never, Not. Ever. You fucking clown...)Daystar Clarion said:No amount of breast reducing is gonna make it not look like a baby's head on a stripper's body.
That pose is fucking ridiculous.
What a delightfully mature attitude.Sunfirecross said:People need to calm down and learn how to not complain at things they probably wouldn't buy anyways.
I fail to see what is sexist about this. At all.kibayasu said:What a delightfully mature attitude.Sunfirecross said:People need to calm down and learn how to not complain at things they probably wouldn't buy anyways.
Hey, maybe those people would buy it if it wasn't a sexist piece of trash!
So you're saying that there is absolutely nothing sexist at all about physically transforming a generally strong character (in the second game) into wank material with a 8 year old's face, E cup breasts, and what might as well be an up skirt shot.Paragon Fury said:I fail to see what is sexist about this.

Stereotypically "attractive" design, yes. But hardly sexist. You can call me when they start making "get back in the kitchen" other actually sexist jokes and actions.
I don't have a problem that it doesn't look like Liara I have a problem that it looks like a 5 year old in a sexual pose with boobs.scotth266 said:Dear lord, this again?
To be honest, I think Bioware should have just stuck with the original. The whole point behind the statue was to redesign the character in a vastly different art style: this means that (duh) the character was not going to look like the original. People may point out that the breasts were not the only problem: that the face didn't look anything like Liara, but the argument just doesn't really make sense when you consider the purpose of the project. The artists involved probably just took the base data (youthful blue asari in labcoat) and did their own thing from then on: and that's how it should be. That's what they were hired to do in the first place.
I wouldn't have bought the original statue anyway: not a Liara fan, not a fan of the art style. But complaining that it doesn't look like our Liara is missing the point: it's not supposed to be our Liara. This is what Liara would have looked like had Mass Effect been made in Japan. Were these people hired to make TF2 statues, or Left 4 Dead statues, or Gears Of War statues, the same difference would be in play.
