Comments: After the death of her mother, Lara Croft was raised and mentored by her archaeologist father, Britain's Earl of Abbington. The disappearance of Lara's father and legal battle over his estate that followed left her the Countess of Abbington. Carrying on in her father's footsteps, Lara travels the world seeking ancient artifacts and historical sites, but not without receiving criticism in the archeological community. Though some scholars think Lara's methods brash and reckless, her findings have lead to discoveries of great historical significance. Her agility and strength give her the skill to collect well-hidden priceless artifacts while her beauty and high-society upbringing gain her many admirers.
Tomb Raider: Legend was the first game in the Tomb Raider series to be developed in the U.S. by Crystal Dynamic. Lara was brought to new life with improved graphics and intricately animated moves and abilities. Tomb Raider: Legend took Lara back to the tomb and shed light on the roots of her obsessions. In her quest to understand her mother's death in Nepal, Lara discovers the truth behind the legend of King Arthur's sword, Excalibur, as well as learning that her mother might not have died after all.
Sideshow Collectibles released their first 1/6 scale Lara Croft figure in the forth quarter of 2008.
