McFarlane Toys Announces Licensing Agreement with Crystal Dynamics for Lara Croft Action Figures

McFarlane Toys has announced a licensing agreement with Crystal Dynamics to bring the legendary Tomb Raider brand to life with an exciting new collection of Lara Croft action figures. This collaboration marks a new chapter for fans and collectors of one of gaming’s most beloved heroes. 

In celebration of the Tomb Raider franchise’s 30th anniversary, the inaugural release is a McFarlane Elite Edition Lara Croft, inspired by Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, the highly anticipated AAA re-imagining of the groundbreaking original 1996 game, currently in development by Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog. This 7″ scale figure will capture Lara in her classic look, complete with her signature weapons and accessories, providing fans with the definitive Lara Croft action figure to add to their collection. The figure will be timed to coincide with the game’s launch.

There will be more exciting updates to come, as the collection will expand in the future with additional action figures and collectibles based on Tomb Raider: Catalyst, the next bold evolution of the franchise. 

All figures will be available for purchase online and through select retailers.

The 1:10th scale posed figures will celebrate the enduring legacy of Marvel Comics and the legendary artists behind its characters. The inaugural wave features figures inspired by the artistry of Todd McFarlane, Jim Lee, Steve Ditko, John Romita Jr., and Rob Liefeld and showcases iconic characters such as Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iron Man, and Deadpool. Each figure is based upon some of Marvel Comics’ most memorable covers and will be set within an environmental base and includes a diorama backdrop to complete the final presentation.

The debut figures recreate McFarlane’s Captain America pose from the iconic cover of The Amazing Spider-Man #323 and a Spider-Man figure, also from McFarlane’s classic Amazing Spider-Man run on the title. These figures feature a comic reprint and are mounted on environmental bases with a diorama backdrop, inviting fans to step into the pages of some of their favorite Marvel adventures.

This collection is slated for release this summer, offering fans and collectors an opportunity to own highly detailed figures inspired by Todd McFarlane’s legendary artwork.
