There are plenty of great women in video games, none more well-known than the legendary Lara Croft. Since 1996 she's been raiding tombs, most recently in the award-winning Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Nothing makes us happier at electronic baldman's world than seeing Lara come to life through cosplay. Below are 18 of our favorites. Let us know which is your favorite.
