Raven Merchandise

INTRODUCTION
The Teen Titans cartoon spawned a lot of merchandise, and here I'll be presenting some of the items that had Raven as a sole focus. There's more out there than this page shows, such as a maquette and several plush, but this selection is only from what I own. Also, this will only be of licensed products, no fan-made items. Note: I've found that a lot of these have on them things like "S04" or "S14", which I think correlates to the last two digits of their release year, so for the example above, it'd mean they were released in 2004 and 2014, respectively. This is how I determined the year I listed for much of the merchandise here as they don't list any other year, so I'm sorry if I'm mistaken about this.

I can't help but mention that although it has a rather unofficial look to it (especially the graphic design on the package), I did buy this new at a Hot Topic store and it was even listed on their website, so I'd say it's safe to say it's a licensed product.
