Merchandise and Reception
In 2000, Epoch Co. released a 1/6 scale Anna Williams action figure, based her appearance from Tekken 3. A small PVC figure was also released by Yujin in the SR Namco Girls Part 5 series in 2004.
Anna was often noted for her sex appeal. In 2008, GameDaily listed Anna as one of its top 50 "hottest game babes", adding that "her debonair fighting style shouldn't be ignored, and she's got the sexy looks to back them up." In 2011, both UGO.com and Complex also featured her in their own respective lists of the 50 "hottest" female characters in video games. Play included her on the lists of top ten "bitches in games" and ten of best chat-up lines. GameFront ranked Anna's breasts as the 24th best in gaming history. She was also included in Unreality’s Queen of the Iron Fist Tournament, but lost in the first round against Sonya Blade. In 2012, Complex ranked her as the seventh "hottest" video game character, and her breasts as the fourth best "pair of boobies" in video games.
Others noted her similarity to her sister Nina. In 2011, Joystiq wrote they "can't help but be saddened by the news" that Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono wanted Anna to be included in the character roster of Street Fighter X Tekken, but "the director was against putting Anna because we already had Nina in." Dual Shockers, however, did not mind Anna's exclusion, stating that "Nina and Anna are simply too similar in some ways." GamesRadar commented on that, "We can only hope that the Irish femme fatale finds her way into Tekken X Street Fighter." In the official poll by Namco, Anna is currently the 16th most requested Tekken character to be added to the roster of Tekken X Street Fighter, at 7.34% of votes.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
