The Demon from Azarath

A random pick from my Divisoria stuff - DC Raven!

Raven is a sorceress born of a demon father, Trigon, and a mortal mother, Arella. Raised in the mystic realm of Azarath, the goddess Azar trained her to control her emotions. Her father harnesses her demonic powers to dominate the earth where she serves as a Teen Titans member.

The bag contained 15 parts - 1 head, 1 headpiece, 2 arms, 1 torso, 3 hands, 1 leg connector, 2 legs, 2 shield-like, transparent bricks, 1 cape, and 1 baseplate. The baseplate has 4 studs.

The head is printed with black mask (which is actually the shadow of the hood) and a purple Aang-like triangle (an extension of the purple hood, to complete the hooded-form Raven look from the animated TV series). Sadly, this form does not give us the mortal form of Raven, where the chakra is embedded in her forehead.

The torso print is slightly misaligned, but is not as obvious as the prints on the legs.

Raven head and torso
The head has dual printing where her basic demonic form is manifested by the four red, angry eyes.

Raven 4 eyes
The prints on the legs are obviously misaligned. The color scheme in the legs prove that this Xinh version is from the animated TV series, Teen Titans. The comics version has gloved hand and shows the skin of the legs.

The minifigure is not too bad, but I'm not too crazy for it. Fortunately, there is no official Lego release of Raven, so having a Xinh one is a must.

Powered-up Raven!
I have to let loose the hood so that the four eyes are shown; once I put the hood back in its fit, the top pair of eyes are not visible - what a shame!

What are you looking at?!
Having fun with shooting photos of Raven in a scene. The set up is in a ruined Azarath, with the time stopped.

Raven attacks!
The Lego minifigure from the comics version of Raven only appears in the video game, Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham.

I wish the Chinese brick brands produce a set of Raven emoticlones. That'd be fun!

Emoticlones
A minifigure of Queen of the Under-realm is a far-fetched idea, but we never know.

Until the next review! ;)
