This is going to sound very ironic considering the subject, but Liara is not your waifu. She's a fictional, and yes, sexual, video game character. There is no grounds to get up in arms because, again, she is a video game character. Imaginary. Not real. Not, just to make clear, your pure-innocent waifu.Tantum Dic Verbo wrote...

What is it you people don't get? If you don't like it, don't buy it. Simple as that.
The problem is that people are seeing a trusted friend (and possibly lover) trivialized and sexualized by an exploitative anime sculptor. It's bad enough that Liara felt the need to wear push-up space armor in LotSB, but now she may feel pressured to get eezo breast implants to keep pace with the unrealistic body image being foisted upon her by predatory entertainment media.
Aside from the emotional trauma this will cause the Bioware fanbase, there's also the matter of retconning our internal role-playing stories. There could be thousands of pages of fanfic that will need adjustment to accommodate Liara's body image (and bigger boobs, in some of the more...exotic...writing).
The scope of this outrage is much wider than a simple decision not to by some sort of manga/anime statue.

I do wish, however, that there were another figure collection in the works that was high quality, true to the game models, and included all or most of the main characters, because I would totally buy a Garrus figure that had a good sculpt and paint job.

Considering the intent of the line of figures, which is to reinterpret popular western characters in an "anime" style, I'm fine with it.

If this figure was coming out in addition to a collection like that, it would probably go over better with the fanbase.

But why?
Why not medieval style, or Steampunk style, or super TRON style with glowing LEDs?
Just sayin.

Why a medieval figure? Why not a middle eastern figure? Why not a sherlock holmes Liara? Why not a Warhammer Liara? (For the greater good!)
We can play the "why not (x)" game forever. However its a Bishoujo figure. Mass Effect does have a nice fanbase in Japan.
Because that's the art style the person who made it specializes in.habitat 67 wrote...

You know what sums up these boards perfectly? The fact that two people have already commented on my post with a straight face. No, my post wasn't serious, but it was utterly plausible.
I can't imagine what it must be like trying to design anything to please this fanbase.

Saying "Bishoujo" over and over does not make it more "artistic". She still looks lowest common denominator silly. I have more than a few friends who are Japanese (women) and they would also not be impressed. None of us have boobs that size and shape, BTW.
It is kinda weird, and defending it is fine or whatever, but I'm allowed to think it stinks.
I want TRON style figures...
