Lara's lovely ladies revisited

Lara Croft models


I was rummaging through the endless piles of gaming memorabilia that clutter my living space the other day, when I happened upon an old advertisement featuring the lovely Lara Weller, a.k.a. "Lara Croft." Weller donned the famous Tomb Raider duds from 1999-2000, during the promotion of Last Revelation, and is probably the closest physical approximation to gaming's most successful heroine of all time. She shares not only the same first name with her agile avatar, but also certain physical attributes and a passion for world travel.

Five other models have portrayed Lara Croft for Eidos (six, if you count Angelina). Karima Adebibe is the latest, and Jill de Jong gets props for her depiction of the Angel of Darkness. Visit Tomb Raider Chronicles and let us know your favorite.
