Tomb Raider: Lara Croft 12-Inch Action Figure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 12" Lara Croft figure is beautifully sculpted, and despite the paint application issues that have plagued NECA's factories, Lara has come out well done. She is the exact duplicate of the 7" Player Select Lara Croft action figure, with some major improvements (as expected). The 7" Lara had too many paint application problems which made her look more like a tra..... less of a woman, but I digress.
12" Lara comes with all accessories like her previous 7" counterpart: 1x Excalibur sword; 1x grenade launcher; 2x pistols; and 1x shotgun. She also comes with a plain [black] plastic base.
There are several things to point out, for one, the base is just too plain. Paying such prices, I'd expect a little more of a detailed base to accompany beautiful Ms. Croft. However, the biggest problem for me is the sound chip. Not only does it marr the beauty of Lara's backside, but the sound chip is just TOO LOUD! And her sound clips are barely audible. That saying, I think the sound chip is just too gimicky for serious collectors.
Another thing I noticed is that Lara's legs feels like it's been made out of ceramic and definitely NOT plastic.
The 12" Lara Croft is deceptively labeled as an action figure, but does a better job of passing as a statue. Due to the budget constraints and sound chip imbedded in her back, she doesn't get any swivel hip movement. Her arms can be moved around, with swivel wrists. She even has swivel feet, which is nice. Lara also has a ball-jointed head.
Overall, GREAT figure, slightly hurt by the gimmicky and LOUD (My ears are bleeding!)sound chip and disappointingly little articulation [for an ACTION figure].

Tomb Raider: Anniversary Lara Croft 7-Inch Action Figure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I applaud the pose and quality of sculpting in getting back to the heart of the character. 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.
