The image of the intrepid archaeologist Lara Croft, with her tan shorts, teal tank top, and twin pistols has become an iconic symbol in pop culture. Since her debut in 1996, she has headlined the incredibly popular Tomb Raider franchise of video games, comics, and movies, and become one of the greatest action heroes of recent memory.

Since the ‘90s, Lara has blazed her way through the catacombs, jungles, and snow-capped mountains of twelve video games and three films in the pursuit of ancient artifacts. An aristocrat who eschewed her silver spoon heritage to pursue a career in archeology, she is resourceful, intelligent, and beautiful. Collectibles and merchandise bearing her likeness are as plentiful as grains of sand in the Sahara desert, but we’ve tracked down the best gifts for the most discerning fans.

The first incarnation of Tomb Raider on the big screen, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life saw Hollywood wild child Angelina Jolie in the title role as adventuring archeologist Lara Croft. She wore a lot of black, drove fast cars, and blazed through stunning action sequences straight out of the video game.

Though the films are more high adventure than gritty realism this can be for the better depending on your liking. Lara is throwing one-liners and bullets like a pro, and her male co-stars (Daniel Craig and Gerard Butler) were relatively unknown at the time, but would begin their superstar careers in Hollywood as leading men shortly after these.
