Tomb Raider Legend's Excalibur Collector's Statuette Revealed for Enthusiasts
For Lara Croft enthusiasts wishing to delve into ancient, abandoned temples, a new collector's item has arrived. Gaming Heads has unveiled the final piece in its 1:6 scale diorama featuring Lara Croft, a masterpiece that brings the iconic Tomb Raider franchise to life. This new statuette, inspired by Tomb Raider: Legend, captures Lara in a dynamic climbing pose, hanging onto a pillar with her magnetic grapple. Ready for action, she holds a gun in one hand. A notable variant of this statuette replaces Lara's Machine Gun 5 with the legendary Excalibur. This detail will resonate with fans of that era, as Excalibur served a dual role as both a key and a weapon, possessing mystical powers. Purists are sure to appreciate this significant touch. This 46 cm (18.1 inches) tall, 4.4 kg (9.7 lbs) polyresin figurine is meticulously hand-painted to mimic real-life textures, even simulating wear on Lara's clothing. This detailed portrayal allows fans to recreate Lara's universe in their collection.

Game info
- Official Name
- Tomb Raider: Legend
- Brief Summary
- Lara is searching for a South American relic, but her adventure takes a different course when rogue anthropologist Amanda Evert shows up. Presumed dead along with a team of graduate students after an accident in a tomb in Peru, where Lara was the only one to escape, Amanda is back with a score to settle as they both race, along with the shady James Rutland Jr., to obtain an ancient artifact. Tomb Raider: Legend is the seventh major game in the Tomb Raider series, now for the first time developed by Crystal Dynamics, along with the original character designer of the game's protagonist Lara Croft. It serves as a reboot of the franchise, with a new incarnation of Lara Croft. The typical third-person action-adventuring exploring is still present, and Lara can move more freely because she is no longer limited by specific jumps. As you travel through rough environments, you will need to run, dive, swim, climb on poles, ladders, roofs, use zip lines, shimmy, and vault, with acrobatic actions such as somersaults and flips. You need to cross difficult terrain, solve puzzles to advance or open up new areas, and engage in combat.
