Like Mass Effect 3? Like Shunya Yamashita? Get some DLC!

Actually, there might be a third condition implied that I wasn't able to fit into the headline: You should probably be willing to shell out monies for figures, as well, particularly Kotobukiya's "Bishoujo" rendition of everyone's favorite bisexual blue space biotic, Liara T'Soni.

Playing the PVC-phile and plopping down for the figure, which is based on the Shunya Yamashita illustration you'll find below will score you a "Reinforcement Pack", which is some kind of downloadable content to enhance Mass Effect 3's multiplayer mode. And while you're at it, EA and BioWare would like you to spend a lot more money on other peripheral Mass Effect-branded items, all of which have some kind of tie-in DLC attached.

To be honest, I was thinking of making the investment, but not so much for DLC as for having a sexy Shunya Yamashita illustration in figure form. It's also hilarious that when unveiled the design raised a teacup-sized tempest over the size of poor Liara's bust. The line's called "Bishoujo" for a reason, prudes!
