It would’ve been awesome if she included an angry “shooting” style face like in the game, as not only would it be a neat add-on, but would also help justify the price tag a bit more.
Now that the official details have dropped, here’s a deep dive –
Tomb Raider has spent three decades cementing Lara Croft as one of gaming’s most iconic protagonists, and this year’s 30th-anniversary celebration just delivered one of its biggest surprises yet: a full crossover with Hasbro’s G.I. Joe Classified Series. Fully revealed today at San Diego Comic-Con, the G.I. Joe x Tomb Raider Lara Croft figure reimagines the tomb-raiding archaeologist in the retro-inspired aesthetic that has made the Classified Series a hit with collectors.
As noted above, Lara is priced at anywhere from $43 to $45 and set for release in fall 2026, the figure comes packed in blister packaging styled after classic G.I. Joe toys from the 1980s and ’90s, instantly recognizable to longtime action-figure fans. But it’s the accessory list that has fans wondering where the heft price tag is coming in from. The set includes:
- Lara’s signature dual pistols
- A utility backpack and bandolier belt
- Climbing axes
- A bow and quiver of arrows
- A grappling hook
- A machete
- The Dagger of Xian
- Alternate hands for different poses
- A second, interchangeable head featuring a communications headset
With over a dozen accessories in total, this is one of the most detailed Lara Croft action figures ever produced, striking a balance between premium articulation and collector-friendly detail that fans have long wanted from a Tomb Raider toy line. It helps to explain the price tag, but still, ouch.
The reveal is a centerpiece of Tomb Raider 30, the year-long celebration honoring three decades of Lara Croft’s adventures. Hasbro, working with Crystal Dynamics, first teased the crossover earlier in the year before fully unveiling it during the G.I. Joe “Yo Joe June” showcase and following up with new images at San Diego Comic-Con. The figure has also landed cover placement in The Toy Book’s Action, Adventure, and Mystery issue, underscoring just how much buzz the collaboration has generated in the collectibles world.
Whether you’re a die-hard G.I. Joe collector, a lifelong Tomb Raider fan, or simply someone who appreciates a well-executed crossover, this Lara Croft figure is shaping up to be one of the standout collectibles of 2026.
What’s your take? Will you be adding Lara to your collection, or is that price tag too jagged a pill to swallow?
