Lara Croft by Neca

NECA (The National Entertainment Collectibles Association) was founded in 1997 to manufacture high quality licensed collectibles. Over the past 5 years NECA has evolved into a major manufacturer with over 60 licenses from the worlds of sports, music, television, and film. Everything from retro style tin lunchboxes, resin bobbing heads, snow globes, and action figures.

NECA does it all.

Operating under the NECA entity are several unique brand leaders. NECA's Head Knockers are the leader in the bobbing head category with over 100 different figurines produced to date. Head Knockers stand alone with their massive amounts of detail, hand painted in high quality resin, and the added bonus of intricate bases and environments tailor made for every character.

NECA's Reel Toys division was founded in 2002 to deliver the highest quality Action Figures and Dolls on the market. Reel Toys is the genesis of many leading sculptors, designers, and painters coming together to create the products that collectors want.

NECA will be launching a new line in the fall of 2006, that will closely follow the format for Cult Classics, but be based on videogames instead of movies. A lot of the work has already been done, with the first series already well into the process.

Series 1 will feature

• Lara Croft
• Kain
• Hitman

The figure is based off of the appearance of Lara in the latest game in the franchise: Tomb Raider Legend. The final Lara Croft figure will stand some 7" tall. Expect to see this prototype along with others in this line at San Diego Comic Con.
