For such an iconic action series, I'm surprised all we've ever gotten is statues and only ONE action figure (A Play Arts Kai) of Lara.

Looks amazing (and is a classic moment from the series) but $1499 it totally bonkers for that scale.

Looks really good and I am definitely considering it being a fan of this version of Croft. Just have to decide on that price point since that is certainly up there lol.

Yea, it is a bit high. BUT, then again, it does also have two 1/4 scale raptors.... So then the price seems kind of fair with say $600 for Lara and $450 each per raptor?

There are plenty of NECA and Playmates figures for her old design. Also, there are TWO PAK figures (one for 2013, and one for Rise of Tomb Raider), though the second one was a big let down. There are also unlicensed one sixth scale figure versions of her as well.

I think the reason for lack of figures in recent times is that the reboot Lara design never caught on as much as the original.

I can think of two reasons why :D

Looks great. Obviously the quality is there, but $1500 is too much. Ideas and designs look great on paper, but when you decide to make it into a 3D statue, all those "do we really need these or this?" features, only serve to inflate the price. Size of base and not one, but two dinosaurs, seems unnecessary to me.

The 1/4 scale statue stands nearly 17.5″ tall

This is incorrect, it stands 31.49" tall.

Tonner and Sideshow both put out some decent action figures as well. But nothing really "new" or recent to speak of, because Square Enix has pretty much ignored the classics (along with everything that made it popular) in their dumb attempt to completely reinvent the character and make it politically correct. So yeah, demand has dropped significantly.
