    Default Lara Croft Barbie dolls. Any give a damn?

    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!
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    Wouldn't surprise me to see that Barbie is going for an attanetion grab more than nything else.

    Look at us, we're empowering young girls, coz we have a Lara toy.
    Even though the movie is probably like an M rating at least.

    Geez, I just looked at the Barbie-Lara pic - could they make her chest any smaller?

    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.

    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

    She always looked pretty damn healthy to me

    Role model for female archeologists? Be it video game or movie, she still wears tiny skin-tight clothing and shoots everything in sight - somehow I don’t think a breast reduction is going to suddenly make her someone realistic for them to aspire to be

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

    It looks like the days of Va-Va-Voom Raider are gone. Although it doesn't worry me because she will always be hot.
