Mass Effect’s Liara Visits the Japanese Sector of the Galaxy
 |
?Kotobukiya, makers of fine sexy anime versions of Marvel and DC superheroines, looks like they’ve taken a sexy step into the world of videogames. They’ll be releasing the Mass Effect Bishoujo Liara T’Sol statue in June of next year for $55 (obviously this is art, but Koto does an excellent job of their products matching their production art, so I wouldn’t worry). Here’s hoping a Fem-Shep is next, eh? And here’s hoping the Bishoujo line keeps expanding; Koto has done plenty of Star Wars statues already, and I can’t help but think a Bishoujo Slave Leia might actually save the entirety of Japan’s economy. Hell, I’d buy eight, just on principle.
