Lara Croft dolls

3

It was September 2006 and British video game publisher Eidos Interactive announced they will be collaborating with Taiwanese toy company Playmates Toys to produce 3D figure dolls portraying Lara Croft. Eidos was best known for the Tomb Raider video game series, which has sold 60 million units worldwide. But there are many problems recognized during the production of the dolls. The dolls do not look like Lara Croft at all and they also do not support the European norms. While other Tomb Raider merchandise, including T-shirts, books, lunch boxes, purses, backpacks, tableware, keychains and fan art are very popular worldwide among fans, all the Lara Croft dolls must return to China due to production issues. You are Sarah Hoeksma, the Netherlands-born global brand controller at Eidos Interactive. You're a huge fan of Tomb Raider as well, and you cry while you see the dolls on posters.
