I think the least popular of the FemShep options got more than 3,500 likes. I don't exactly care myself (I'm not the target market for little resin anime figurines in any case), but based on that, I'd advise Bioware to tread carefully.

Wow is that thing ugly. It'd understand if the cleavage was a little excessive, but that's ridiculous, and the expression kills the whole thing.

Why does Bioware keep pissing all over their own work?
Because George Lucas has lost his.... oh, sorry... you said BIOWARE. My bad.

Yeah, Kotobukiya does some NICE work, and I like the statue. However, Liara, it is NOT.

Hate to say it,but that isn't Liara T'Soni. Liara's cute,not sexy. The difference is subtle,but it's there (and the difference is often defined by several cup sizes). Admirable effort,but this kind of figurine is best suited for Miranda Lawson.

as i commented on the bioware forums. this isnt liara. its a random asari hooker
This.
She look more like a hooker/assassin, and not a 50 year old scientist. Bioware don't do this... also don't take Tali's mask off

Damnit! Why is there an anime in my Mass Effect?

Turning western style graphics, or animation, into animes makes them unrecognizable except for their costume, so CUT IT OUT!

edit: It also makes them seem very uncanny for me as-well, so it makes me dislike them because of creepiness.

That looks nothing like Liara. It's a detailed statue, but it's overly sexed up and just meh.

The first thing that the face reminded me of was:


omg YES! That's the first thing I thought! It looks like they put a baby's head on an adult body.

OP: Aside from the toddler head and the blatant fanservice, I guess it's well made at least. But I don't remember Liara having cleavage that you could lose small animals in

It looks more like something that would fit in a bad wild-west anime. Or Star Wars The Old Republc. XD.

I guess I could look past the changes if they scrapped the face for one that doesn't make her look like a 12 year old girl with 50 IQ points.


And for the love of god; If they panty-flash her I'm out of the series. I'm here to kill aliens and kiss others. Not to baby-sit my retarded (mentally-) five-year old friend or something.

Has the video game industry and companies taken some kind of dive into a pool of shit with their mouths open, or have I just quickly become a rage-filled, cynical and bitter husk of a man? It seems that lately no matter where I turn in the video game community, I just end up pulling my hair out. And I have really short hair, so I have to grip extra hard to manage pulling it out.
BioWare,

Coming from someone who has never played the Mass Effect games (I have my reasons), I simply find it interesting when American culture mingles with Japanese culture. Needless to say, my vote would be that there's nothing entirely wrong with it.

[ShaleVoice]Is that what inbred Asari look like?

It seems to have a deformed spine.
It's 'breasts' seem to host a variety of tumours.
It's facial expression points to mental retardation.
It's pose suggests utter incompetence.[/ShaleVoice]
Do not forget the thane/adam jensen (deus ex) assassins clothes. After all she is a scientist.

... am i the only person who finds the appeal of Anime versions of female characters of western properties? seriously, it's ANIME LIARA, SHE'S SUPPOSED BE MORE SEX-APPEAL! God damn, every time someone bashes this statue for being too sexy, i lose a little more of my faith in the rest of the ME fandom. the statue's being made by fucking Kotobukiya, the company known for giant robots and chicks with huge levels of sex-appeal.
