Rodrigo Martín Santos Revisits Rare Tomb Raider Merchandise In "Treasure Hunters" Article Series

 For the past couple of months, Rodrigo Martín Santos, an avid "Tomb Raider" collector, webmaster of "Tomb Raider Collection", and Guinness World Records 2015 owner for the "Largest Collection of Tomb Raider Memorabilia" has been writing amazing articles for the Tomb Raider 25 website.

In the "Treasure Hunter" series, he takes a look at some of the exciting and unique merchandise he owns for that month's featured game.

The articles started back in March for "Tomb Raider II" and have since featured rare treasures such Lara's belly piercing created for a promotional campaign by Koch Media Germany, golden statues for Tomb Raider III's release party at the Natural History Museum in London (UK), a 9k gold Golden Tornarsuk Mask Replica, and Rhona Mitra's Lara Croft outfit.

The articles are rich in details too, providing greater context to the pieces he spotlights. For instance, Rodrigo talks about the Tomb Raider album created with Rhona Mitra which had recorded in Jamacia and on the Amazon River. It's clear that the passion he has for the items goes beyond the rarity value, instead the articles show a strong appreciation of the history they represent.

We're looking forward to reading more as the celebrations continue throughout the year. In the meantime, if you haven't already, make sure to check out Rodrigo's articles for "Tomb Raider II" and "Tomb Raider III" on the milestone website!
