Lara Croft outfit up for e-auction

The Lara Croft outfit worn by Nell McAndrew, one of the game's promotional models, is to be auctioned on the internet at the end of the month.

The familiar green rubber top and combat shorts were worn by McAndrew to promote the second and third Tomb Raider games. But since Tomb Raider 4, Lara has changed her image and the old outfit is being sold off with all proceeds going to Unicef.

Lara's new look, designed for her fifth outing in the upcoming game Angel of Darkness, was sported by Dutch model Jill de Jong late last month.

The auction includes all of Lara's Tomb Raider kit including her trademark circular sunglasses and twin replica Smith and Wesson automatic pistols and leather holsters.

The auction will take place between 26 April and 6 May. Tomb Raider 5: Angel of Darkness is due for release in mid November.
