Tomb Raider's Collector's Edition has just been announced by on its official tumblr and it will include a fully-posable Lara Croft figurine.
In addition to that, it will come with the usual stuff associated with special editions such as exclusive DLC, posters, and whatnot. We've listed each and every detail below.
-
Endurance Survival Kit Packaging: A survival tin salvaged from the ill-fated Endurance. The tin houses a copy of the game and the Lara Croft Play Arts Kai figure.

Play Arts Kai Lara Croft Figurine: Fully posable figurine with over 40 points of articulation. The dirt on her body and clothes has been realistically recreated to tell the tale of Lara’s fierce fight for survival on a desolate island. Comes with alternate set of three (3) hands, bow and arrow, shotgun, handgun, and climbing axe. Figure Size: Approx 8.0” Tall.

The Tomb Raider Collector's Edition will come packaged in a steel tin containing all the stuff mentioned above. It be priced at $99.99 and will be available for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Currently, details for the PC version's Collector's Edition are still "pending" according to the post.
Not bad, no? It's certainly better than just having an exclusive DLC and a keychain. I'm certainly thankful they didn't try and sexualize the figurine included with it and opted instead for the gritty Lara Croft they're featuring in the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot.
If you want to know more about the gameplay, I suggest watching this 30-minute gameplay clip straight from Crystal Dynamics themselves.
Can Lara Croft's rebirth be as successful as Sony's tomb-raiding hero? We'll know for sure once we get nearer Tomb Raider's March 5, 2013 release date.
