I know there’s the GI Joe General, but I not everyone follows it.Our prayers have been answered everyone, finally an official, modern Lara Croft that actually looks good and will have good articulation. Rejoice.
>>11829457OH FUCK
Do I have to go to SDCC to get one or will common sense prevail and there will be open orders?
>>11829457Breast too small. Also a new expression would have been better instead of that.
>>11829479DamnGuess we'll have to wait for the next one
>>11829476I think this is a normal release
>>11829484See you in thirty years Anon, let's go back to our coffins.
>>11829457Waste of plastic. You can keep your current day garbage.
>>11829457I don't like the fact that they went with "unified Lara" with smaller tits and accessories from the horrible remake trilogy. But the fan base has to buy it if we want any hopes of getting better versions.
>>11829465>Hip articulation is already fucked from the holster design
>>11829646The web gear on Joes is pretty soft these days and doesn't hinder as much as you think.
>>11829646The belt floats
>>11829642I was afraid they'd give her 90s Lara's botox lips so the look they went for gets my approval
Man, I am so excited for this. I have a friend who is an exceptional Warhammer/bust painter, I think I'll ask him to custom paint her for me. Hopefully this figure will spur on some Chinese companies to make some 1/12 Laras, who know maybe some more officially licensed ones might pop up.
>>11829457Other than the sex appeal obviously being toned way down, this actually looks really solid. Nice spread of accessories as well. Any word on price yet?
>>11830006Not yet, they said it will be showcased at SDCC and I think the pre-order is July 23rd. I think the recent Action Man figure they've made is like $42.99 on Pulse and has a similar amount of accessories, so I wouldn't be surprised if Lara ends up being expensive like that.
>>11830035Thanks. Don't collect GI Joe, so this will probably be my first. Too bad she'll be a bit too small to go with the Neca Nathan Drake. Would be cool if they crossover with other video game characters down the line.
>>11830049*Too bad Nathan Drake is too big to go with Larafuck Neca/McFarlane scaling they blew it and continue to blow it. At least the girl is the one coming in shorter though you can make it work.
>>11829465Why they give her a fridge torso instead of the same ones used by other female Classified figures. The Chest size is fine I get it, they can't make them triangular. But the waist should be a bit thinner.
>>11830067>they can't make them triangularThey dont have to be triangular, but OG lara has tits and curves. Sorry if that offends flat-chested fridge-body women pissing their own insecurities onto a fictional character.
>>11830198>Sorry if that offends flat-chested fridge-body womenBased.
>>11829457Nice. I would love if Hasbro did more iconic characters like this. Hasbro makes pretty good toys, I wish more people saw it.
Is it me or do her boobs look decent? It may just be the bandolier blocking them in the pic.
I was going to make a comment about how coom brained you all are for giving this much of a fuck about her tits, but then I came to my senses and realized it's Lara and that her mommy milkers are a key part of the character and that we should give a shit about them. So proceed.
>GI Joe's first collab is fucking Tomb Raider>Not something actually military-based like Metal Gear Solid or Splinter Cell>Not even Street Fighter as a nod to the 90s Hasbro sub-line with updated versions of vintage accessories.
>>11830227It's hiding that she has no cleavage
>>11830243Her left boob does seem to be squeezing out though.
>>11830231>A fat mad trannie typed this >>11830243Exactly. All they did was take Nu-Lara and drop her in OG Lara's clothes. That's what Crystal Dynamics calls "unified Lara."
>>11830239>Modern Konami giving the MGS license to a western company again for figuresWe're lucky we even got the upcoming Revoltechs. Splinter Cell went to Valaverse so theres your Classified adjacent Sam figure.
>>11830213ikr, I can't wait to add this iconic figure to my iconic cosplayers shelf, literally shaking in anticipation.Better order two, for both her iconic looks. Hasbro did it again, bros!
>>11830239Uh Action Man was the first joe collab. I'm just glad the GI Joe collab is now open. SF GI Joe should be on the horizon.
>>11830239The Street Fighter characters are stupid-looking to a lot of people. They may have been passable in 1992, but this isn't 1992. BUT if you've played the games, then you'd see that Tomb Raider is a good fit for Cobra and not the Joes, though. >Lara shot up a Polynesian village to get an artifact.>Lara shot and killed the last dinosaurs on earth instead of calling in a paleontology team.>Lara launched a nuclear missle in Area 51 to distract from her getting an artifact out of a UFO.>Lara unleashed the Egyptian God of death Seth, and instead of going back to where she got the ankh that sealed him to put back the seal before it's too late, she runs around everywhere else looking for Horus armor that didn't stop him at all.
>>11829457>>11829465I need to know what verdict /ourguy/ gives it
>>11829457>Lara has small mosquito bite titsHappy Hasbro will never touch the RE license. They'd ruin Ashley Graham's ballistics.
>>11830342
>>11830758i hate that they gave us all these useless fucking accessories but couldn't include the shades
>>11829761Good to know but I'm not going to be posing her in water
They should have made Lara as big as I remember her being
>>11829457SAVE US RAMEN TOYS!
>>11830815Do not speak of the tig biddy fakes to me, Anon. I was in Yahoo groups when the nude patch was shared.
>>11830868Which was stupid. The cassic TR games train your eyes to focus on the environment to see where to go/what to do next. So it didn't take long before you didn't even notice Lara's naked.
>>11830334>>11830334>not Van Damme Guileget outta here
>>11830664Considering he hates Classified and the unified Lara design, it’s not looking good.
>>11831252>So it didn't take long before you didn't even notice Lara's naked.Yes. And?
>>11831284Hasbro only has the license for the upcoming Street Fighter movie this October, see it in cinemas. Titular main character Guile is played none other than WWE superstar The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes, son of legendary Dusty Rhodes.
>>11831338i'll probably download it after it starts streaming or something, I doubt I'll care enough to watch a handcam release of this one.
>>11831374>I doubt I'll care enough to watch a handcam release of this one.I don't care about anything enough to watch a handcam. Maybe back in the day, but stuff's up for streaming/download in like 2-3 months now.
>>11829457If it doesn't have a scratch and sniff asshole I'm not interested.
>>11830067>>11829465>>11829457These look like bad Super7 AI.But since I had no idea about and don't really care about Hasbro's shitty untalented creative pool, who knows?
>>11830334that explains why mattel made Cena the Guile figure instead of Cody
>>11830334>Action Man was the first joe collabAction Man was already Joe; he was made from licensed GI Joe figures back in the day, later became fully owned by Hasbro in the 90s and was then released as a 3.75 GI Joe-branded figure in 2004
>>11831252That only underscores how groundbreaking the game was at the time.
>>11832217True. Fully-3-D environments were still new at the time, and CORE really knew how to use the medium to make a game that forces your eyes to explore every corner of the environment.
>>11829457She should have a smiling/smirking face.
>>11832291"Action faces" are annoying to me. I've hated them ever since the Star Wars Episode 2 figures were out, and half of them looked like they were trying to take a hard shit. I like it when the facial expression is simple.
>>11832292truth
>>11832314With episode 2 they somehow found a way to make worse figures than POTF2
>>11832886It's been repeatedly said: it's called "unified Lara" and is an attempt by Crystal Dynamics to get the original Tomb Raider fanbase into financially supporting Nu-Lara because they think classic Lara is a representation of evil male sexism. The pricks even added a disclaimer to the remastered original games condemning them as sexism and colonialism but thanks for the money anyway. They made it clear that they refuse to give us classic Lara.
>>11833127It's so weird when you guys make shit up just to get mad at it. You obviously don't play the actual games.
>>11833127You could tell they were seething about the remasters having a faithful Lara model because then ruined them with the update.
>>11833134I'm really feeling like you haven't kept up with TR at all. "Unified Lara" is a real thing by CD, it's basically old-Lara in new-Lara's clothes, and is an attempt by CD to lure classic TR fans back after alienating them with new-Lara. And the remastered disclaimer made it clear that they still hate original Lara, and they apparently think we're all dumb-asses who'll come running with money with "unified Lara" (which is new-Lara in old-Lara's clothes) starring in the next TR game.
>>11833167Yes they did. They don't care that the original Lara built the fan base. They want the fan base to accept the modern version. They've lost fortunes pushing nu-Lara, and don't care.
>>11833167Source? And does it even effect 32-bit mode?
>>11833187"Patch 5" created a long list of glitches and problems for games thath ran fine for decades. People who bought the first physical copy of the remasters get around them andd have the game run fine by refusing the updates/patches.
>>11833182>The Survivor of Sexual Assault Trilogy
>>11833411Pretty much yeah. And it's a dick move by Crystal Dynamics who didn't create TR to "adjust" the property to claim that nu-Lara is the foundation that all other TR is built on.
>>11833411The new games aren’t even that bad…
>>11834049THEY SUCK! Uncharted is somehow more like classic TR than 3rd-gen TR games themselves are. Nathan comes with all skills he needs right at the start, just like classic Lara. Nu-Lara doesn't, and has to re-learn everything with each new game after levelling up with skill points like a fucking RPG. Uncharted also has multiple maps in multiple locations like classic TR. Uncharted also has usable vehicles just like classic TR. And all three nu-Lara games have the exact same story of "LARA VERSUS DOOMSDAY CULT" story in three different settings. In the Uncharted games, Nathan just wants treasure. There's zero stakes to the rest of the world. It's nice to go treasure-hunting without some bullshit apocalyptic undertone.
>>11833182I'm not questioning Unified Lara. I'm questioning all the made up shit that you guys listed about her that outright isn't even the games. I played them.
>>11834052It's really weird to see you guys complain about games you clearly didn't play. Go regurgitate another YouTube video or something.
>>11834058Except it's true, bro. That's why you counter-point with absolutely nothing.
>>11834056And what made-up shit is that? Once again you dispute without counter-pointing. The figure is 100% Nu-Lara. Tossing in TR2's dagger doesn't change that.
>>11834143Technically, it's Nu-Nu-Lara.
>>11836956NuClassicLara
It really fucking sucks that the third figure of never ever list, Payche Out is a fucking scalpmart exclusive just like Crystal Ball. Its cool Raptor got a wide release. Idk maybe I'll get a DeeJay one day.
>>11834049brother those games are literally someone's torture porn fetish
>>11836956Re-read:>>11833182It's nu-Lara as CD is "adjusting" the continuity to claim nu-Lara came first, and her in classic clothes is still the same character.
>>11834049I, too, am enjoying the smut that comes out of this shlock, my brother in porn. Fatcat17 unironically writes far better scripts.
>>11837313Yes but she has a new face and new voice actress, it's Nu-Nu-Lara.
>>11837360
>>11834052Even uncharted doesn't do the thing that the original TR games excelled at and what made them such an incredible game to play. The absolute absurd real time, fully player controlled acrobatics puzzles. No cutscenes, no QTEs, no glowy hand holding "GO THIS WAY" crap, just a completely open path way, a bunch of potential options and an absurdly acrobatic main character with the controls to let her pull of some insane jumping puzzles. Hell, I'd say that running game with the parkor asian chick is closer to the original Tomb Raider in terms of gameplay then even Uncharted got. I played TR for the moment I had to slide off a roof to do a back twist flip to grab onto another roof which I then swung about to do do a swan dive onto another slopped ledge which I had to go down backwards and then spin flip right at the edge to catch a rope to swing back to drop to ANOTHER barely grabable ledge where I instantly wall jumped back off across a massive chasm to grab ANOTHER impossible grab to then drop down to even more sliding puzzles which required three perfectly timed backflips in a row all to get to a single tiny window you could barely see from your starting ledge three blocks and around the corner away just to pop open a tiny button that opened the main door on the other side of the temple. Triangle boobs, "dramatic" torture porn, hidden treasures, simple puzzles and even the actual combat itself all took a back seat to the absurd acrobatic feats you would have to pull of in those original games to proceed and none of em have even tried to come close to that kind of gameplay since. But the figure looks great so I'll be happy to grab her, but I do wish the alt head was closer to her more mature original series look. Hell, just make it look kind of like Angelina Jolie as she had the perfect face for the character.Also would've been nice if she had a shotgun instead of those climbing picks.
>>11829457THe cock suckers at wal-mart cancelled my tmnt x gi joe shredder cobra commander vs mikey shipwreck preorder where the fuck am i supposed to get the cobra commander shredder fusion action figure now?
>>11838903>No cutscenes, no QTEs, no glowy hand holding "GO THIS WAY" crap, just a completely open path way, a bunch of potential options and an absurdly acrobatic main character with the controls to let her pull of some insane jumping puzzles.I replayed all of the PS1 TR games over last winter. It's amazing how graphics aside how well they still hold up in terms of the creative levels and a real sense of exploring. The 2nd and 3rd gen TR games just don't have that at all.
>nerds beg for something>give nerds what they want>nerds bitch about it anywayfigure looks pretty good imo
>>11839445The fanbase by and large hates nu-Lara. CD knows this, but keeps pushing her down our throats anyway. They think they can manipulate the fans with "HEY IT'S STILL THE WHINY LESBIAN SMALL-TITTIES LARA YOU ALL HATE, BUT SHE'S IN CLASSIC LARA'S CLOTHES NOW! GIVE US MONEY!"
>>11839505its a plastic toy you freak. dont like it dont buy it.
>>11839519It's generally a good idea to give the paying customers what they want instead of what you decide they should want.
>>11839527dont like it then make your own. 3d printers are cheap and lots of people make customs. you have the means to get whatever you want toy wise but you're bitching over culture war shit.
>>11839505What makes this specifically nu-Lara? She's got the dual pistols, the blue shirt and brown booty pants. Is it the lack of cool shades? That is an odd omission.
>>11839534Well she is based on the redesign we are getting in the upcoming Legacy of Atlantis game and the how she will look in Catalyst. It's a merging of aspects of the original Lara with their newer one from the Survivor games, in this design she obviously doesn't have quite as large tits and again she's been done in a sort of realistic style. On that guy saying she is still whiney or whatever, we actually don't know that, nobody does for sure, from the clips we've seen they seem to have actually changed her personality to be a more confident, suave Lara, more akin to the original, but he is right, it's definitely a reaction to the clear message from the fanbase and I am not expecting a total 180, it could easily be a wolf in sheeps clothing. I will say the studio making it is a Polish team, it's not really Crystal Dynamics, who themselves at this point have clearly changed a lot of staff from the Survivor game era, so who knows, I am going to remain optimistic, though I can already see the gameplay will basically be the Survivor games again in style, anyone hoping for a return to measured platforming will be disappointed. I actually liked the survivor trilogy for what it was, it shouldn't have happened and I would have much preferred a series in the same vein as the originals, most of what >>11838903 says is how I feel as well, but I still like them as beautiful linear romps. I actually think they did the Uncharted formula much better than Uncharted, especially Shadow, which has some quite fun Tombs and environments. Anyway to bring it back, at the end of Shadow, there is a clear change in the characterisation of Lara, she has finally become "the Tomb Raider" and even though it's just a brief scene, it was quite obviously indicating to the player she is now the Lara you remember, albeit in a new guise, so we'll see what they do with that. The games were basically an unnecessary three part origin story.
>>11839534Scroll up. It's already been repeatedly said. Crystal Dynamics thinks they can lure back the OG fanbase by repackaging modern Lara in classic Lara's clothes. They call it "unified Lara." They also have retconned the whole IP to claim it's all under one timeline continuity, and Nu-Lara is the start of the Tomb Raider story.
>>11839534She doesn't have a pair of slugs crawling across her face for lips.
>>11839572You must be a shill for either Hasbro or Crystal Dynamics because you're full of shit. There's a difference between in-game Lara and "bad 90s British CGI cut scene" Lara. Those who played the games knew it all along.
>>11829457>shows up in the last issue of GI JOEI didnt' expect that
