It's a modern update on the 1st Eidos design, with the funny bats and atlantis flying creature. The face is a terrible disappointment. It looks nothing like the package art, and truly, if you look at the prototype art on the packaging, this toy's head looks nothing like it. If you're playing with it, it doesn't matter but if you're displaying it (and come on, how many of you collectors plan to play with it?), it won't be the center of your toy collection. For the price I would have expected better. The 12" figure that talks is a better rendition and better investment IMHO. I don't know if it's the sculpt or the painting but I was disappointed.

This Lara looks Asian. Nothing wrong with looking Asian -- it's just that Lara is English. It's not even that it's bad work, it's just that there's no discernible similarity between the face of this figure and any of the incarnations of Lara, particularly the one from Anniversary. <br /> <br />Despite the rest of the figure being really good work, the face is enough for me not to recommend this. Opt instead for their 12" talking figure done for Legend. No pictures I’ve seen of this product have portrayed the poor quality of the face by a long shot. This Lara looks Asian.

If you're a huge Tomb Raider fan/collector I recommend that you buy it - otherwise, you could pass and not miss anything. …although this action figure is majorly ugly in its own right.
