I'm tempted. I can put it between the two Normandy's when they arrive. It doesn't look like Liara but I swear it makes me smile. Maybe another company will release a more life-like version down the road. 

If you buy it let us know how it goes, maybe it looks better when you have it in your hands after all
But i think they will be avalaible in 2012

the generic doe-eyed anime face looks ok in the pic but [imo] it doesnt work in 3D. assuming that there wont be any dramatic changes to the statue the best way to fix it would be to do something about that face.

finished product doesnt surprise me much but that face just isnt working for me. i actually think the rest of the statue is just fine, but they could do something else w/ the face. tempted to vote about it on the fb page, just liked a few comments and closed the page instead

Of this issues with the statue itself, I agree with you completely. The face is just wrong. I don't just mean in terms of  its pedo vibe either. Not to beat a dead horse, but like was posted on the various threads pertaining to the statue, the proportions are wrong as well, the eyes are to large, the head is angled in an anatomically ackward position, the forehead is much to large etc.

As for the body though, while its not terrible, it still is oversexed. I still can't get over the fans who are oggling over the gigantic sized breasts on that thing... I mean don't get me wrong, that artist is god damn talented, he must be some type of sevant in physics to be able to get that statue from tipping over.

As for the concept art, while I personally am indifferent to the anime style, Yama****a's concept art did not look as oversexed. TIn addition it at least had some semblance to Liara and was anatomically accurate (not in terms of the placing Miranda's a** on Liara's chest but in terms of a normal forehead etc.)

I guess what is most wrong with the statue is as was said in BSN et passim, is it simply doesn't reflect Liara's character. While she is certainly attractive, she never flaunts that fact to her advantage. I dunno why the single bishoujo character they decided to do for the series is the one that really does not refelct that style... I mean I actually anderstand why they did it. WHile the Asari are a compelling highly advanced species which many of the great qualities of ancient greece at its golden era... they are still to some large degree sex symbols. Due to this, i think of all the species which would most naturally fit the bijshoujo style, certaintly it would be the asari. Because Liara has such a loyal fanbase and due to the aformentioned sex appeal I guess Bioware figured why not kill 2 birds with one stone-- satisfy the Liara fans with a statue and create a bishoujo statue.

My only confusion is of all the styles they could have picked why Bishoujo? As a series Mass effect is very mature and relies on scientific theories and ideas which actually have a basis in the real world. Scientists nowadays are looking for dark energy, that quantum entanglement idea actually exists to some degree, the levorotatory vs dextrorotatory chirality of the DNA what great... I know i smiled when i read the feedback mechanism foound within krogan biology. I guess my point is that for a very mature, scientific series it  would seem realism would've been the way to go, not sexy anime. Kotobiyuka is excellent at making realistic models too, from the many coments I have read, i think one of those would have generated a better response.

In summary this statue simply does not capture the flavor of either who Liara is, or indeed of the mass effect series itself.
What are your guys opinions on this?

Edit: apparently the illustrator who created the concept art for the stature has a naugthy word in his name so that part was censored out by  the forums naughty word .... <_<

I think the statue is completely absurd, which is unfortunate because I may have wanted one in concept.

[alex90c]

Statue looks better now that it's completed, but still not a fan of the style.

Do you think they will make Samara or Morinth statues?

Very unfortunate. I would've liked to have a Liara T'soni statue but that style totally doesn't fit me. If they had shrunk the breasts down to normal sizes and made it's face actually look like Liara's then I would most likely have purchased one.

I think the company who designed and made the statue would be better suited to making a Isabella statue. Considering we already know what style they use, the statue would resemble the in-game Isabella a great deal.

The attitude of the posts seemed trollish.

But if he weren't trolling. Then I would appolgise for him, but still think he should have re-worded what he wrote.

This product is nothing but a perverse deviation of what Liara means in the world of Mass Effect

Exactly that.

Great picture.
 
I think that the stature looks better painted, by no definition good but slightly less horrifyingly non-Liara-like. I really hope they have one made of her that reflect the Liara we so love and adore.

I'm having a hard time figuring out if that's an insult or a compliment.

I didn't intend it as either an insult or a compliment actually. If you look at in-game Isabella you'll notice it's almost exactly the style they gave Liara's statue. And while it's horribly out of character for Liara, it would actually fit nicely for Isabella.

Well, the anime Liara figure is finished, here are some photos


What can i say? the painted version didnt changed my negative opinion about it at all

Well I do like the face now much more, but the boobs are still to big.

Though the whole pose just makes them bigger...

I kinda doubt it; they're probably not popular enough.

At least that face looks better now with the colors on it but that thing is still not Liara for me. As some of you said the artist is very very skilled though. Too bad this anime style of his doesn't suit Liara at all...

And I'm talking about the satuette here, even if I didn't mention it ^^

Edit: And btw, 5 moths left

Alrighty, I found this pretty cute pic for the blue (hopefully I'll be able to do this right).

5 months and 2 or 3 days (depending on where I pre order the game) for me.

Thank god for Skyrim and SWTOR in the meantime though. Still, the waiting is not that hard....yet. And I'm thankful they're not sprinkling story spoilers everywhere like they did with ME2.

[IndigoWolfe]

Well, I think it's a very well made statue. The armor colors and details are absolutely impeccable, the pose is nice and dynamic. They even got the colors of her face right.

It's still very Japanese-style, which means very sexualized. Is it my personal preference? No. I would have liked to see something more along the lines of what is seen in the game, but artistic style is artistic style.

Would I get it if I had money to spare? Maybe.


Although one thing; I do not like the nipple bumps. Those were entirely unneccesary.

[alex90c]

"it's just the style therefore it is allowed to look awful"

[Nerevar-as]

It´s better than the DC animesque statues from a few years ago, but that´s about the only positive thing I can say about it. Let´s hope there´ll be a normal one after ME3.
