Sideshow's 1/6 Lara Croft

[The Mike]

I finally opened her up yesterday. I like it but I wish the headsculpt was painted more like the proto. Haven't really futzed around with her but overall I'm happy with it.

Looks more like Kirsty Alley in Star Trek II the wrath of Kahn than Laura Croft.

Here's the Cy girl body I bought:

How hard is it to change the head and hands around? Am I gonna have to do some major reconstruction? I hope it's fairly easy.

It's kind of a pain in the a#$. For me it was, anyway.

I can relate. I've done the same myself.

It is a nice piece once you get it re-bodied. My biggest gripe is having to work that hard on a figure after spending that much money on it.

But hey...I loves me some Lara Croft.

Sorry if this has been said, but what body is that?

I tried to put that green t-shirt on a Cy-Girl perfect body, even with the head off, NO way in hell will it ever go on.

You can do it. Try soaking the t-shirt in water and cursing a lot.

Already tried the cursing, it didn't help.
Water might do the trick. So I take it that you used a Perfect body on yours?

Yeah. I was looking for the "Mystere" body. I think she's actually the appropriate skin-tone but I wasn't looking to drop much more coin on this figure after that initial hit.

Sweet, I have Mystere, gonna go dig her up now!!

I guess for now I'm just going to keep her on the Buck since she's all bundled in her coat and pants but I'm eventually going to have to get a new body for her when bikini season rolls around.

This figure was a serious letdown for me. Considering the pricetage attached, it was a joke. I've seen Hasbro produce better clothing items. The sculpt. I liked that. The HK USP Super 8 Match Pistols... lovely... the hands, very nice sculpts. The body, the typical lackluster body used for years.

After some work, the work I had to do since to even try and get the alternate outfit on I had to remove the head, which the neckpost broke off in, and of course the shirt ripping when I did try and put it on the stock body... I said screw it and put her head onto a Triad Otaku for now... hopefully waiting to see if ZC comes out with a matching tan body carded in the near future, as I wanted better arti.

I was just very dissapointed in this figure, and the way this figure, such an iconic and anticpated property was handled... it really makes me worry and think twice about the upcoming Snake Eyes figure... and that has an even higher pricetag.

Just quite saddened by this... I had ordered 4 of them, but I cancelled my other three Laras after seeing what I was getting for my money.

I have voiced these opinions with Sideshow CS Dept. as well.

Let me know how that works out, because I'm not 100% positive but I think she's a match.

Someone else on here gave me the idea to try the 12" Neca headsculpt as well, because the five-head on this Lara sculpt is bugging the piss outta me--so I think that's my next task.

I imagine before it's all over I'll have a $85 clothing & pistols set....

Helluva way to spend your first post.

I emailed SS as well about this stinker. Here's hoping they give a s#$%.

That's my plan...I grabbed most of the loose bits from Toy Anxiety for the t-shirt & shorts outfit. I've got one of the NECA 12" talking figures on the way...hopefully should arrive in a couple days. I'll let you know how that works out.

The skin tone is a spot on match, but the wrist pegs are black and the Sidehow pegs don't fit. Anyone know where I can get some flesh colored wrist pegs for a BBI body?

 

[YoNoSe]

I said screw it and put her head onto a Triad Otaku for now.

Any chance you could post a pic? I'd like to see how that turned out.

 

[EVILFACE]

Anyone have this body to see how the tone matches?

That one's gonna be way too dark.

 

[EVILFACE]

Yea, looking at it, it would be.

Oh well, buck is fine. Now just waiting on SS to mail my replacement back!!

 

[Morbo]

would the ZC girl Kelly body be a skin tone match?
