You can (relatively) easily find action figures from Mario, Sonic, Street Fighter, Mega Man, Final Fantasy 7, Mortal Kombat, LoZ, etc.
Some characters are more expensive, some can be find at the supermarket, some are exclusive, some are made by 3 differents companies. But you know the figures exists. They’re available.
But not for Classic Lara Croft. And I don’t know why…
We’ve had 2013 Lara some years ago, but it’s not the iconic look than everyone would recognize at first glance.
It’s not that the classic look isn’t used anymore, recents remastered games and mobile games used it.
Is it because girls characters sell less? I don’t think you make a figure with from a 30 years old games for small kids.
Is it because TR fans prefer statues over action figures ? Maybe. But Lara is an acrobatic character, articulations would be perfect for her !
Not retro enough / too retro ? Classic Lara isn’t much younger than Sonic, nor much older than Cloud or Aerith. She’s from the 90’s, too. 90’s are cool again ! Ask the X-men !
Is it because of Square Enix ? They have their own line of video game figures called Bring Arts. I didn’t see any Lara in pre-order ?
It’s a mystery too me. Maybe you know the reason ?
Hopefully, with the new Netflix animated series, we’ll have some articulated good old Lara Croft. By Jada, Spinmasters, Bandai, Storm, or whoever.
Does anyone else here think classic Tomb Raider toys would sell well?
