While the Asari race are technically gender-free, Kotobukiya's first bishoujo statue from their upcoming Mass Effect line certainly celebrates Liara T'Soni's more womanly qualities. Not that we mind.

This new statue from the hit Bioware video game series stands nearly 10 inches tall and is set to be released in April 2012, retailing at about $60. Kotobukiya's official description for the statue reads, "Channeling her martial instinct, the distinctive blue-skinned alien stands with a Phalanx at the ready and a folded M-3 Predator holstered at her hip. Alert to danger and careful to observe her surroundings, Liara leans on her slightly bent right leg and arches her back, emphasizing her gorgeous body. The doctor is mostly covered by her armored outfit, but it accentuates her curves instead of hiding them. A skin-tight black bodysuit is visible under matching boots, jacket, and lingerie-like clothing in stunning blue and silver. Meanwhile, Liara's head is bare, revealing her striking blue skin and alien features that make her unique from previous bishoujo statues!"Liara is the first collectible to come from Kotobukiya's licensing deal for Mass Effect , with an ARTFX Commander Shepard coming in the future as well.
