I love this piece, but will the actual statue pair up to this proto or close enough at least?

Weta makes some really well made statues, but for some reason this one just reminds me of Level52 work as well..

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Did it seem like 1/4 to you in person ? The Gaming Heads temple of osiris Lara is supposed to be 1/4 but when displayed next to other 1/4 statues especially SS Lara Croft's . She is smaller, more like 1/5.

8/10 Times they come out really well I'd say. You might also try the waiting game, if statue's don't sell out, then Weta will throw them up for sale at some point. Just keep an eye out that it doesn't show low stock.

I could be wrong but I don’t see this statue making a Weta sale. The soonest this piece would likely qualify would be Black Friday 2019 and I honestly don’t see it lasting almost a year and a half until then.

It's 100% 1/4

It was very large in person. $799 is definitely worth it. But it's still cheaper from us

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Hmm. To each their own I suppose. This piece blows away the Sideshow statue IMO. That said they’re interpretations of the character at two different stages in her history and the looks aren’t the same. So it might be less about which statue is better and more about which interpretation of Lara you prefer.
