What's your favourite Lara Croft holster design?
Hello, fellow raiders
Recently I've discovered a love for Lara Croft cosplay and besides putting together a bunch of outfits, I finally perfected my vinyl version of classic Croft's holsters My next project is AoD Lara's holsters+backpack and then a photoshoot! In the meantime, I'm getting in better shape haha It's a much healthier hobby than what I used to do to pass time Why aren't I blathering on about my pastime in the fanart section? All the research and photos of Lara has really made me realize what I miss most about her pre-reboot outfit: her holsters. The sexy, garter-like straps and strong belt+buckle really gave her some accessory flair that remains pretty unique to this day Does anyone else like comparing the little details in her different versions? The word 'iconic' is cheap around here but her holsters, along with her backpack, gloves and boots give her so much style that replicating them is one of the most satisfying things I've done in the past 5 years So what is your favourite version? Classic TR-Chronicles with their sturdy, simple design? Nevada Lara with the missing loop straps, silver buckle and high garters? AoD with the open pouch concept? (Anniversary's were very similar to these too) Legend with all the tactical equipment? AJ movie Lara's skull-buckled heavy-duty ones with the ammo-reserves? Or golden? Or scuba-style? Reboot Lara's single pouch? Andy Park's comic run with the rich colour and leathery details? I'd love to hear what everyone thinks! There are tons I didn't suggest Also, sorry.. I know the pics aren't of the highest quality (did this from my phone but they're clickable to enlarge and enhance) and they might disappear soon but whatevs Yup, this is another thread discussing her outfits so please keep it to her accessories to preserve some peace, if you don't mind Last edited by HarleyCroft; 27-06-18 at 06:02.

oooh interesting thread idea I'm mad I didn't think of it haha. I always hated how huge Core Design made the buckle on Lara's belt it looked so humorous to me. I actually liked the one holster idea on reboot Lara. If you're gonna reboot Tomb Raider, that's the way to do it imo, one holster, clever. I live for the skull-buckled holster, i believe it should be an optional compliment for every game/movie/comic. There is just something so mysteriously badass about it but that's just so I'm gonna go with that as my fave l. Skull-buckled Lara ftw.

I love how Legend's holsters are not only used to carry Lara's pistols but also to carry the binoculars, the hook and the grenades. It made her look prepared, organised and trained for the adventure she was about to begin.
While other holsters may look more stylish and modern, there is all this equipment and technicity in Legend's ones that make them look attractive and awesome. |

I find Anniversary and AOD’s holster design simplistic yet my favorite. It blends with her attire and just fits perfectly.

Definitely anniversary. It looks like a updated version of the classic. The AOD holsters and Legend ones are nice too but I prefer the brown leather aesthetic.

^Anniversary's are black.
Well, holsters are unrelated to the belts so I'll be commenting on the holsters, only. I like AoD's the most, which is similar to TRA's. I like that you can mostly still see the guns. Same reason I like the original Jolie holster. |

My favorite is definitely AoD and Anniversary’s open pouch design. It always looked so cool, yet very simple at the same time.

They all look the same to me I do think the simple black dual-gun holsters are iconic though alongside the guns themselves.
