Tonner releases 17-inch Lara Croft Figure

[tombnews.com]

Tonner today announced an agreement with Eidos Interactive LimitedT to
release Tonner Character FiguresT (TCF) based on the Lara CroftT: Tomb
Raider LegendT video game.

Tonner's Lara CroftT is the first of its kind. Leaping from the pixels on
the screen into the hands of collectors at a noble 17" tall, Lara CroftT
features 14 points of articulation, rooted hair, and several different
changeable outfits. "In creating Lara Croft as a TCFT, I wanted to capture
her essence and spirit in all the detail," Robert Tonner, CEO of Tonner
explained. "We worked closely with Eidos to ensure every facet of the figure
is completely accurate."

With Lara CroftT, Tonner does for figures what EidosT did for gaming by
giving the collector and player what their imaginations were asking for; a
powerful, independent, determined heroine. The result is one of gaming's
most recognized and well-known characters, a powerfully independent,
determined heroine that was honored with a star on the Walk of Game in 2006
and a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records, recognizing her as the
"most recognizable female video game character."

"Lara Croft was an opportunity for me to enter a new realm," Tonner said.
"As a sculptor, a chance to create an entirely new body is incredibly
rewarding. Lara Croft allowed me to express, in the sculpt, both the
strength and femininity for which she has become legendary."

Tonner's Lara CroftT launched June 26, 2008 at Wizard World Chicago to an
audience of 68,000 eager attendees. Wizard World is a four-city tour that
brings the world of comics, collectibles, and pop culture to fans and
collectors alike. Enthusiasts had the opportunity to purchase a Lara CroftT
TcfT from the first 100 of the introductory production run.

Exclusively available via TONNERDirectT, collectors can visit
tonnerdirect.com or call 800-794-2107 to purchase Lara CroftT Tcf's,
accessories, and outfits.

Now I'm not a person that plays with dolls.but being a avid TR fan, I
thought it might be cool to have her standing next to my PC. That is until I
viewed the photo of the doll. I think it is a load of rubbish,the outfit
does not even fit her correctly. I would have to get my granddaughter to
dress her properly. So I think I will give it a miss.
