Lara Croft's Tomb Raider Survivor Era Look Has Been Transformed Into A Statue

Tomb Raider's present has been more about its past than its future for the last few years with no mention of when we might get an entirely new game starring Lara Croft. As nice as a new Tomb Raider game would be, celebrating the past of a series with so much history is never a bad thing, and Dark Horse is doing more of that by closing out 2024 with the reveal of a brand new Lara Croft statue.

With more than 20 years between the first Tomb Raider game and the last (so far), not to mention all of the movies and TV shows based on the series, Croft has naturally sported quite a few different looks. This new statue's design is based on the archaeologist's appearance during the series' Survivor era. The reboot of the series that began with 2013's Tomb Raider and ended with Rise Of The Tomb Raider two years later.

The PVC statue features Lara Croft standing on a rock, lit torch in one hand, and her pickaxe in the other. The hero's bow and a quiver of arrows are hanging over her shoulder, and the image you're left with via the new statue is reminiscent of the one used for the cover of the aforementioned Rise Of The Tomb Raider which depicts Croft cautiously entering a cave. However, the attire Croft's statue has donned is a much more traditional look than the warmer clothes she needs for Rise's cover art.

The rock on which Croft stands has the name of the series embedded into it in red and white to mirror how Tomb Raider is written on the cover of the 2013 reboot. The statue is 11 inches tall and 8.4 inches wide, including the rocky base, and even though you can pre-order it now for $79.99 at Dark Horse Direct through the link in the box below, it's not expected to ship until at least May 2025. Plenty of time to decide where exactly on your Tomb Raider shrine it will sit.

Lara's Survivor era statue joins another Tomb Raider statue from Dark Horse released earlier this year based on the protagonist's look in the original trilogy of games from the 1990s. You've also got another trilogy of remasters coming in 2025. The original trilogy was remastered and released in February of this year, and a remastered collection of Tomb Raiders four through six will join in 2025 exactly one year on from the launch of this year's collection.
