They are activated by pinching internal sensors. The Bear Phone vibrates and makes custom noises for incoming calls, which can be answered and finished by pressing the Bear Phone’s tail.

Meet Alison Carrol, the new Lara Croft model. Besides being just another pretty face, she is also a great match for the role with her background in Tumbling, Sports Acrobatics, and General Gymnastics.

Alison is only 23 years old, beaten hundreds of girls to become the new face of the “Tomb Raider” video game franchise.  She will undergo strict physical training to prepare for her job as Lara Croft and to travel the world, playing the archaeological adventurer.

Also, playing the role of the sexiest game heroine there is will be another challenge, but we think she’s up to it.  She will be promoting the new Tombraider game Underworld, expected to be released in November.

In the new advanture Lara faces challenges unlike anything she’s experienced in the past, putting her own training to the ultimate test. In preparation for this role, Alison is embarking on a regime that includes survival, combat and semi-automatic weapons training, as well as world archeology coursework.
