Flirty Girl Collectibles 1/6 scale Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft inspired 12-inch female action figure

continued from previous post...

This is just cam-whoring, plain and simple ;p The urban dictionary describes "camwhoring" as "To take pictures of either yourself and / or with your friends excessively". Well, Lara likes her pictures taken so here are more of Flirty Girl Collectibles 1/6th scale Female Character Set aka 12-inch Lara Croft Tomb Raider with Phicen Limited Large Bust Seamless Female Body with Tan skin. And as a fellow collector requested, I've left the heater switch off LOL

You've already viewed the stage-by-stage dressing up process (if you were to scroll back upwards, you'll see her stripping down instead haha) in the previous post so I thought I'll just post these pictures of 1/6 scale Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft doing her thing i.e. pointing her guns, if you know what I mean. Is it cold in here or do I see headlights flashing? Can't help it, gotta get to the point (or is that two points?) ;p


There have been quite a few 1/6 scale Lara Croft female action figures (plus some Lara Croft wannabes) released already – you can check out my earlier posts HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE – but IMHO I think this is the best looking Lara Croft so far and the 1/6 scale female head sculpt has the most resemblance to Angelina Jolie who played Lara Croft in two movies.




In the Lara Croft films, Angelina Jolie didn't exactly wear the character's classic costume which is a turquoise sleeveless tank top, light brown shorts, calf-high boots, and long white socks but with 12-inch figures, a little imagination can go a long way :)


What's even nicer with this Flirty Girl Collectibles 1/6th scale Female Character Set is the inclusion of the two pistols that look identical to the custom .45 caliber SAFARI MATCHMASTER semi automatic pistols Angelina Jolie used as Fox in the 2008 film "Wanted".


The Phicen Limited Large Bust Seamless Female Body with Tan skin (reviewed HERE) offers a fair bit of articulation but because the figure is fresh out of the box and brand new, the joints are pretty tight and that worries me. I am not sure if they are tight when I move the joints because the figure is new or because I might be moving the joints the wrong way without realizing since I cannot see the joints hidden under the seamless body / "skin".

At least now I feel I finally have a 1/6 scale Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft 12-inch figure in my collection.


I don't collect a lot of female figures because one can mistaken them as "dolls" or "dollies", a term used for fashion dolls like Barbie and Bratz. Action Figures tend to be movie-related with the emphasis on action and Lara Croft is most definitely a female action figure.


Scroll down to see more pictures of Lara Croft as the designers intended her to be. Running around and fighting bad guys with such huge assets might not really work in real life and that's why it only happens in video games. It's a guy thing ;p


The pictures / images below are some close-up shots I took of this Flirty Girl Collectibles 1/6 scale Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft inspired 12-inch female action figure




NEXT: See how 12-inch Lara Croft looks with her Dark Brown Faux Leather Jacket, Faux Leather Backpack and a rather interesting diorama figure display base that is just as appropriate for this female adventurer / tomb raider :)
