So remember that 2013 Tomb Raider reboot that is now being turned into a movie that hopefully will be better than the average video game movie? Well Mattel are making Barbie dolls based on it.

Does anyone care? Cause I really don't think the Barbie and Tomb Raider audience overlap.
But she's so pretty, my precious.... she's mine, lol!
Wouldn't surprise me to see that Barbie is going for an attanetion grab more than nything else.
Even though the movie is probably like an M rating at least.Quote:
Look at us, we're empowering young girls, coz we have a Lara toy.
(Not a real mattel quote)
Geez, I just looked at the Barbie-Lara pic - could they make her chest any smaller? :rolleyes:
Bad enough they started shrinking her boobs from the 1999 game onwards, but this is ridiculous!
They make a Barbie Doll based on how she looked in the TR3 game and I will consider it.
Looks fine to me. or you can pay a hundred for hot toys version .
I would buy this over the Star Wars Kylo ren or Rey by Hasbro. but thats me.

Her boobs isn't big. I am actually fine with this both movie and toy as appearance.
Yeah I think there's a trend towards making HEALTHY body images now, hence a variety of heights, chest sizes and weights. If you want .... ahem .... buxom you need to look to Phicen and similar. She is meant to be a role model for would-be female archaeologists, not us fanboys :DQuote:

I didn't realise the archaeology curriculum included ice axe fighting and archery... :pQuote:

The last Tomb Raider I played (recently) was the reboot from a couple of years ago and it was great though.
Indiana Jones did much of the same, including punching and shooting.Quote:
