I do have to say that the diving picture at the beginning of this article is probably one of the coolest pictures that Eidos has put out for a Lara Croft model.  It actually shows off the model, performing a move that the in-game Lara Croft would do.  It looks elegant, and smooth.  All that said, while I like the idea of freshening up the Lara Croft model with each version of the game, Lara Weller still stands out as my favorite Lara Croft model of all time.

mmmmm...Lara Weller
