This year marks the 30-year anniversary of one of the most iconic and notable franchises in gaming, Tomb Raider. That's three whole decades of cliff-diving, dual-wielding, switch-pulling, dinosaur-killing action, all executed at the hands of one of the most popular video game characters of all time, Ms. Lara Croft.
To mark the occasion, toymaker FanBrix has revealed a new, officially licenced build based on the gun-toting archaeologist's resplendent, Guildford-based homestead: Croft Manor.
The diorama, designed by artist Kim Plata, replicates the stately home in a mammoth 4,355 pieces, offering a front view of the manor's exterior and an open back view of its interior - where we can see Lara's pool and gymnasium, relic museum, living quarters, and kitchen, complete with its infamous walk-in fridge.
Additionally, the set includes three vehicles in the form of Lara's sports bike, grounds-buggy, and a non-descript, legally distinct variant of that favourite mud-ripper of all British country-house-owning toffs, the Land Rover.
A set of six figurines will include Lara herself as well as her faithful butler, Winston... And we all know where he is going to live. While the remaining figurines are yet to be revealed, FanBrix notes that customers picking up the "Founder's Edition" will receive six extra characters, for a total of 12 stars pulled from the Tomb Raider franchise.
And that's where the details end for now. Interested parties can sign up for the Launch List on the FanBrix website. The next stage is Early Access, which will kick off February 2, 2027. Following the early access sales, Croft Manor will be made available to regular customers, and then the set will be retired - no restocks or re-runs. So, if you are interested, get your name down on that mailing list.
In related gaming news, FanBrix' site notes it is planning sets based on Deep Silver RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and Sony Entertainment's Helldivers II, both to be revealed in 2027.
