tomb raided

I've always been a big fan of the games, and when I saw this figure I knew I had to have one.
Now I do, and this be the photo review of said figure, Tomb: Raider: Lara Croft, by NECA.

The packaging was fairly what you might expect, with everything neatly tied in place.


Out of the box, the contents are pretty diverse. Lara comes with quite a nifty array of weapons: her iconic twin pistols that can be holstered in her hip holders; a pump-action shotgun; a grenade launcher and a very funky sword of some sort.



The figure of miss Lara Croft is surprisingly detailed, from the articulated torso, neck and arms, down to the brown boots. The colors are great, and most important: the face is realistic. This usually is a major issue with action figures, as they tend not to look like the character they were made after.
This is not the case here, as Lara's action figure looks gorgeous.


Hit the road, Jack!
She's a blast. :)

Due to the high level of detail, close-ups of miss Croft were possible, and not only that, they also looks amazing. More so, one can improve upon the original images and create some surreal pieces of art.









And here's where she stands.

Now, one might ask: do Batman & Spider-Man guard Lara, or is it the other way around? Hmm...
