Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Agreed. Though it is somewhat mitigated by the fact that you can get her for a steal if you do some shopping around. Don't recall when exactly, but there was even a period of time where BBTS offered her for 50% off.

GH has expressed interest in making a Lara based on her new look in Rise, so I'll be picking that one up along with their Temple of Osiris version to get my fix.

Thanks! I had Lara laying on a flat surface when I snapped the picture. Thus her head was tilted back. When she is standing upright on the base her head is tilted down. This negates the googly eyes.

I am torn with this piece. I am a HUGE Lara Croft fan, but the skin color really irks me with this piece. It appears to have a greenish/yellow skin tone that really looks unattractive. I will need to see some more in hand pictures before I am able to decide. Love the pose and it looks high in quality. Again, I just can't seem to get past the skin tone. Totally killing it for me.

Got some bad news... After comparing mine to the prototype, other people's photos and videos I discovered a major problem. The hair on my statue has a large rough patch. I thought this was normal at first, so ignored it. Then after seeing how smooth the hair is on everyone else's I contacted Gaming Heads. Sure enough they said it wasn't normal and in fact defected. I was told to break my original statue into pieces which I did. Thankfully, they are sending me a replacement.

Gotta admit. I love my statue. I got mine at BBTS too. Couldn't pass her up at their price. I do agree with some paint issues (mainly the grime and blood), but those are hardly noticeable when standing at a normal distance. I've done a full video review here:

I'm glad I have this, because you sure won't find her now unless you hit up eBay. I wonder if they will make a Rise of the Tomb Raider version? Btw... the replacement they sent me was flawless.
