BeyondTheGrave Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 The fact that they're trying to make a sexy anime-girl figure out of a character with blue skin and slicked back tentacles for hair is creepy. not really.

David Hingtgen Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 The artwork from a few weeks ago looked more like Liara IMHO---the face, while anime-ized, was still Liara. The actual sculpt is less so.
BeyondTheGrave Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 If they changed it to Samara then it could work.
CoryHolmes Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) That's Liara? My, how she's... grown up. ... ... ... I can has Ashley, pls? Kthnxbai Edited September 4, 2011 by CoryHolmes
VF-15 Banshee Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Somehow I just don't think ME lends itself well to multiplayer but it does make me even more suspicious of the video game industry's financial status. And as for that Liara statue... why are anime artists obsessed with big boobs? Seriously, I'd like to know. Edited October 4, 2011 by VF-15 Banshee
CoryHolmes Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 And as for that Liara statue... why are anime artists obsessed with big boobs? Seriously, I'd like to know. I'm more interested in why BioWare seems more interested in Liara. She got this statue, a whole mission in ME2, plus Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC. On the other hand, Ashley () has gotten no such attention.
one_klump Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 That's because Ashley could (and did, in my game) die in ME1. Can't give a major part to someone that might not be there
Wanzerfan Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 I couldn't believe it. On one of his last visits to GameStop, he went ahead and did a full pre-order for the Collector's edition of Mass Effect 3. I'm just suprised because I would've been just as happy with the normal version. Not that I'm complaining, anyway.
David Hingtgen Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 The Liara figure looks less and less like Liara every time: http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?dispsize=800&mode=view&album=2011_New_York_Comic_Con%2FKotobukiya&pic=IMG_6861.jpg If the face was EXACTLY like the initial artwork, I'd have bought it. But now the face isn't Liara at all. Or even asari, IMHO.
eugimon Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 I dunno, it looks pretty damn asari to me. Doesn't look anything like Liara but definitely asari.
Lynx7725 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Shrug. Looks the same face. Only consolation there I guess is that the Phalanx made it into ME3...
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 It looks like it got a reduction in chest size compared to the concept sketch. I think it was for the better. These bishoujo statues aren't my thing, but Koto seems to do a bang up job on them. I'm still contemplating starting the series over from ME1 to do the exact opposite of what my current Shep has done just to get the most of ME3...
Lynx7725 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Oh btw, I think I forgot to link this: Summary: Multiplayer. Co-Opt. Race and Class choice (Asari Biotic Adept anyone? Oh my, Krogan Vanguard Berzerker...)

CoryHolmes Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 [whine] And where is my Ashley fig? [/whine]
Duke Togo Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 [whine] And where is my Ashley fig? [/whine] It doesn't exist, just like Ashley. Blown to atoms.
CoryHolmes Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 It doesn't exist, just like Ashley. Blown to atoms. ... you're lying. Right?
Alexander Del Sua Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Where's my Tali'Zorah Vas Normandy? T_T
Duke Togo Posted October 19, 2011 Author Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) ... you're lying. Right? I'm 99% sure she died where I left her on Virmine. Edited October 19, 2011 by Duke Togo
Kanedas Bike Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 I'm 99% sure she died where I left her on Virmine. Did they ever establish what was cannon with regards to Ashley and Kaidan? -b.
Wanzerfan Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 My guess is that Ashley died on Virmire (either with the Salarian commando unit or by nuking herself) in the official story. Sorry guys.
CoryHolmes Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 I disagree. I think Bioware has left every major decision as unknown in the "official" canon. They've not even specified Shepards gender in the novels
eugimon Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 there's a reason why it's not mentioned in any of the books or comics. If bioware wanted us to have an answer, we would have had it by now.
Kanedas Bike Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Awesome. So then like someone said earlier where's the statue of Ashley? -b.
CoryHolmes Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Awesome. So then like someone said earlier where's the statue of Ashley? -b. I used to want one, but then I realized that this was Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams we were talking about. I imagine the posing session with the sculptor to go something like this: Sculptor: "Okay! We've made some changes to your armour, added the high heels, a deep cleavage-exposing gash down the front, and hardned nipples on the front. Ashley: "..." Sculptor: "Now, it's time for the pose. Lean forward. No, more. Yeah, keep your legs straight like that. Now use your arms to frame your brea-" Ashley: *boom* "Headshot." And that's why we love her
Duke Togo Posted October 21, 2011 Author Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) Did they ever establish what was cannon with regards to Ashley and Kaidan? -b. It's my canon. Edited October 21, 2011 by Duke Togo
Vepariga Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) Kotobukiya is apparently working on some ME products http://www.facebook....731.85811091644 Hope the link works. As a bushoujo imaging, it works. But doesn't quite come across as Liara.. the commentary is quite interesting in the number of people screaming for less boobage. by the comments looks like alot of negative feedback,I somewhat agree...not really Liara,really dis-like the face,but the body sculpt is quite good. give me a Tali one. but in all seriousness,Id rather more accurate realistic sculpts of the characters. Edited October 21, 2011 by Vepariga
kung flu Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I didn't like Liara much in the games, but the statue does looks quite nice, even if it dosen't look like her.
Lynx7725 Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Just noticed she popped up on HLJ for pre-orders, with some pics. http://www.hlj.com/product/kbysv-59
Vepariga Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 oh god that face...its....its....*dies from horror* body is good but that head is just does not look right at all..
