Looks like Ashton Kutcher to me. :pi:

I've finished this game on Hard :jmp:

It took a while but I made it

[FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="2"]So I have a question I want to ask about some TR merchandise but I'm afraid to link a picture of it due to the content. I'll try my best to describe it, since I'm sure one of you know what I'm talking about. I was browsing through peoples picture of their Tomb Raider collections, and I cam across a rather decently sized statue/figure of classic Lara. Thing is, she was nude. Now, it's not a big deal, I'm just a bit surprised to see that there is an official statue/figure of Lara nude.
My question is, where did it from? Like who made this and when was it introduced?

Sorry to ask, I'm just really curious.
And I apologize that this isn't exactly the right place to ask but I couldn't find the thread that I was wanting to post this too and assume this is just as good as any for someone to know..[/SIZE][/FONT]

^ OMG, what the hell lol

Are you sure it is official?

Larafan25 made it, did they not?

[FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="2"]I've seen a few different versions of the statue/figure.

One for example, [url]http://i.imgur.com/p2fDaLd.jpg?1[/url]
I'd post the unedited version if I didn't think it'd cause issue.

I've seen others that have her with bottom undergarments on just like the one above and just one nipple being exposed. This one though, you can see the nipple and her kitty.

This is the image I came across.

Oooooooh, I remember that long one. Hadn't seen it in so many years.... well I still hate it:p

I'm kinda surprised if these are indeed "official" in some way... I mean I know Lara used to be a sex symbol and 85% of people only loved her for her tits, but this is too much IMO:o I mean just blatand boobs and underwear action on a statue of that would be considered offcial merchandise by Eidos is over the top.

[FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="2"]That's why it surprised me. I may not be official but it sure enough looks that way. Which it could just be a really well done to look like it is. Either way, I'm not necessarily offended by it but it's bit much even for the sexual attention Lara got back in the day.

The one in the 2nd picture is tame to the one I blacked out. I could over-look a nipple. But a detail puddycat is stepping it far. To each their own I guess. I'm not judging. Surprised it exist though.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Foud a recent video chat interview with Earl Baylon (Jonah) talking about his role in Tomb Raider if anyone is interested.

That's pretty cool. Thanks for posting :tmb:. It was pretty awkward in the first few minutes though.

What is this abomination? I know Lara was always sexualized but I think this takes it too far. If this is, in-fact [i]official[/i] then I am shocked they allowed it.

I've never seen that one before. A bit over the top perhaps, but cool nontheless! :)

No way that figure is official. Can't imagine Eidos would ever license or endorse something [I][B]that[/B][/I] sexual. I mean, I know they liked to sexualize Lara back then, but they had limits, frontal nudity being one of them.

Wow. She looks like she swallowed a bag of steroids and rage inducers.

Oh my goodness why did I look >_>

[FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="2"]I really hope you're right. I mean, this is okay I guess for those who want it. But I would be pretty disappointed if it turned out to be an official by Eidos. For the very reason you stated. This, is definitely too far IMO if they did.[/SIZE][/FONT]

I've seen that statue a few times now.

The sad thing is... It's a well-made statue. It'd be perfect if Lara had clothes.

Oh, no no, not offended, I was just a little disturbed :o I never liked the notion of Lara as a sex symbol (as others seem to agree), and avoided the sexualised renders like the plague. This was just really extreme.

I remember that statue traumatised me as a child. It looks like an abomination, conveniently torn clothing or not. ;)

We're almost in the fourth month of the year already... Another four months and there will be so much media of the game which will be just round the corner :)

I think that statue is so weird because Lara looks so manly with lots of muscles poised for action, and yet she's highly sexualized. :ponder:

This has nothing to do with the statue topic...

I decided to reinstall the reboot, and noticed that when Lara aims with the bow (and I guess with every weapon), she frowns and clenches her teeth, just like in the past TRs. I may be mistaken, but I think she does it. First time I see this :o

Why don't you buy it and knit some clothes for it then? :pi:

I've played all TRs so far except this one. I'm just not very fond of Crystal Dynamics. Is it worth it? I hear people say everywhere it's a good game, but just not a Tomb Raider. Besides I'm a little annoyed about the REBOOT-Part. They should have kept the story instead of changing Lara's Bio.

That statue...just...[B]yeesh[/B] that's scary!

Definitely is, but you gotta remember that they're trying to please old fans and welcome new fans at the same time. So to do that, they just refresh it a little. They just make it more modern. It still is Tomb Raider, but not classic Tomb Raider. They develop Lara's character in game rather than jumping straight into superb action to engage an audience, which really works.

Can someone please help me get the Artilleryman trophy for PS3? All I need is someone to join me in a private match for 20 or so minutes. I just need to get 20 kills with the mounted machine gun, I can help someone else with the trophy if they need it too.

I'm a trophy hunter and I really want to get the platinum, especially when this is the only TR I don't have the platinum for :hea:

Yihaa! Play for sports just like Lara! That's the spirit! :tmb: :D

I was going over the Edurance Announcement trailer and I found something super freaky! :eek: I'm not sure if anybody else caught it though. :confused: Anyways, right after Lara falls and steps out, there's someone actually in the water before her, but somehow, he never ends up getting to where Lara is, or anywhere close! Does he die? Who is he? :eek:

It looks like the guy from Sleeping Dogs tbh.

Must be a random.

That trailer. It is so iconic I cannot.

I was thinking more like a casual Adam Jensen :p

BUT STILL

Endurance Crew Member.
He's nothing special lol.

Yeah but they announced all of them, so, how did this little ****er get on the Endurance? :whi: :vlol:

[QUOTE=TRItheMaster;7327048]Yeah but they announced all of them, so, how did this little ****er get on the Endurance? :whi: :vlol:[/QUOTE]

The endurance was a huge ship, so reality side. There are going to be a heck of a lot more people on the ship then the ones we've seen ;)! That's why he slipped through us. Trailer side, he is probably just a stand in as an extra. To show everyone's panicking as Lara emerges out of her cabin.

He's nothing important. Same as every character in the game tbh :p.

Exactly this :vlol:
I can still remember my reaction when I first watched the TP trailer ...I nearly died :cln: how days run fast ..

Good catch! He's just a random crew member, just like the guy on the other side with Roth before Lara jumps or the guy who gets shot by Vlad during Lara's escape.

Lol, it does actually look like Drake.

Just got me thinking.. When Lara got the pack back to Roth, couldn't she fix her wounds instead of cauterizing them later on? Now that I think about it the game is filled with stuff like this.

Her wound had "healed" by that time. It was after crashing into that tree during the parachute segment that the wound opened up again and she needed to close it quickly.
