Agreed.
And that's why China is important, they could be contracted to use the toughest stuff, but what you get from China may not be obvious until months or years later that it's not up to the job. Why i prefer something reinforcing internally, then that is not nearly as critical. But it's just a personal worry, they should be thinking all that out.

I'm surprised after watching all the preparations they've shown that they could overlook something this simple.

I have seen that too.
Imo when the leg is max stretched like that, she already would be free from the dino after bouncing off with force. The knee should be bend a little, bcs she still is in the ingoing movement (actual kick) instead of outgoing.

But it is already cool ;-)

Everyone: are you crazy! I am not buying this!

How long ago was 'Lara Shadow Of The Tomb'. This is the same kind of concept. If the price jump is too much, yes they will get this response.

Edit: yes you are right Lara 1/4, PO Sept-2018 and it came out in March-2019.

Preorder was August 2018.

Edit: actually, that was Queen of the Jungle

BBTS & Spec Fiction should carry it.

Hope so. Seems like if they do, they'd have to be in sync with Weta.

$1499.00!!!
15.98" x 31.49" x 17.48" (W x H x D) 40.6 cm x 80 cm x 44.4 cm

She's as big as the Prime 1 Arkham Knight Catwoman!

I think I'm out.

Seeing the full pics, I feel like this is almost too ambitious. I think I would have preferred more of a focus on Lara. There's too much mass on the base and the 2 raptors. She seems really small on top. If it were what I've edited here (and maybe $500 less) I'd buy it immediately.
