Her nipples are poking through her top.
I never got this "buying an expensive doll and then replacing everything with other expensive parts, so in the end it's basically a completely different doll", but if that makes you happy you should go on! I like the original boots better, but if you want to replace them, I'd suggest searching for biker boots if doll biker boots are a thing. Legend Lara's boots are based off of biker boots. And I own this TRU action figure. It has a hideous face, which is something that haunted Lara figures for quite a while. |

I didnt knew that there were poseable tomb raider figures out there except the ones from...Play arts?Figuarts?
If hot toys and other companies would slow down and chill for a bit...i would find the time and money to get some of those Tomb Raider figures and statues. They look pretty sweet Alpharaider47. Quote:
I like to pose them and all that, but thats it. Probably has also to do with the pretty creepy stuff i saw when it comes to customization...i mean creepy when i say it. You can actually buy anatomical correct figure parts and bodys that can be posed in specific poses...if you know what i mean(since were not in the mature section here i cant go into details. XD) |

I knew about this Legend figure ever since it was announced, but if I remember correctly it was rather expensive at release. I'm currently waiting for the reboot/movie Barbie Lara. That one probably won't be very expensive. http://www.tombraiderforums.com/showthread.php?t=218445 |

Not so much, when it came out it was "only" 80$ which is "nothing" compared to what seller ask today. Usually they ask at least 200$ for it for it still in its original box.

My motivations for this undertaking were that when I was younger I had wanted this figure, but I never had the financial forethought to save money, and so I never managed to get it. I found this one for a really good price, so it was an opportunity to accomplish a dream from yesteryear, but also put the extra money that I thought I would have to have spent into getting a second body and head to make it look like I imagined it to look as a kid. Eventually both figures will be displayed together. I like the original boots as well, but the tolerances are so tight that it's difficult to get them back on the feet, let alone with the socks. I have been hoping to find something of similar dimensions that I can modify/scratch build parts for to make them look the part. And yes, I agree the original face is hideous. The sculpt is pretty good though, so with a new coat of paint it could look great. At the moment that's a bit out of my realm of expertise, but once I jump back into model painting I will take a crack at it. Until now I've mostly focused on painting aircraft and spacecraft. I'm working on a 1/144 aircraft carrier right now and I occasionally paint 1/100 and 15mm tabletop wargames figures. Basically small stuff where you can fudge detail, 1/6 scale will be much less forgiving to me, hence my reservations. Last edited by Alpharaider47; 23-09-17 at 14:55. |
