The story is just beginning. Welcome to The Raven Society - Chapter One.
On October 1, 1849, Edgar Allan Poe went missing.
He was discovered 3 days later semiconscious wearing clothes that were not his own and not coherent enough to explain how he came to be in his dire condition.
He died 7 days later.
His Last words were "What have I done? Lord help my poor soul."
What occurred in those 3 days has remained a mystery..until now
WELCOME TO THE RAVEN SOCIETY
In a well-appointed lounge…
In the middle of a library…
Whose entrance is difficult to find…
Within its walls, authors, magicians, inventors, explorers, and scholars meet in secret.
Brilliant individuals whose charter is to solve the esoteric threats of their day.
Recruited by Edgar Allan Poe himself, they call themselves…
THE RAVEN SOCIETY.
Extraordinary minds. Impossible adversaries. Infinite stories.
The Library remembers everything as it holds every story ever told.
Or so the Society believes.
Now, some of those stories are coming for us.
Because if fiction can escape into reality, what else might be waiting between the pages?
The Raven Society intends to find out.

THE RAVEN SOCIETY: A message from the creators
First, thank you to everyone following the project and sharing your excitement. Sean and I can't wait to take you along as we explore this new line, introduce its characters, share the creative process, and reveal more of the world we're building. We have some pretty ambitious plans for The Raven Society!
Those of you paying close attention at San Diego Comic-Con last summer may have already caught a few hints about where we're headed. Consider those little glimpses of things to come. There are plenty of secrets still waiting to be uncovered.
To get things started, we're sharing some early concept artwork from the incredibly talented Dana Black. These images come from our original pitch for The Raven Society and offer a glimpse into the ideas and creative direction that helped shape the line. Some things have evolved since these concepts were created, but you'll get a sense of the world we're building and where we're headed. We hope you enjoy this look behind the scenes.
We have been listening to your feedback and appreciate ALL OF IT. We have read and heard many of the comments, questions, and excitement surrounding our initial offering. It's been great seeing everyone get involved, including some lively discussions about the chase accessories. One thing we would like to clarify: Just because an accessory starts out as a chase item doesn't mean that's the only opportunity you'll ever have to get it!
Take the bookcases, for example. They may not be included with every figure, but that doesn't mean they won't show up again down the road. We have ideas for how some of these items could find their way into future releases and offerings. We want to keep things interesting for collectors while giving ourselves room to expand the world over time. We are monitoring the BigBadWorkShop Reddit, so please continue to post any comments there as well.
We have got more characters to introduce, stories to tell, designs to reveal, and plenty of surprises waiting in the wings.
Thanks for being here at the very beginning and helping us bring this new world to life. Keep the questions and feedback coming. We love hearing what you think!
The story is unfolding. And trust us… there's much more to come!

Welcome to The Raven Society! Chapter One Begins
We are excited to officially welcome you to The Raven Society, the newest 1/12 scale action figure line from BigBadWorkShop, created by the team behind Operation: Monster Force!
Blending gothic horror, classic literature, and supernatural mystery, The Raven Society introduces a world where familiar historical figures become part of something much larger. At the center of it all is a mysterious Library filled with forgotten secrets, strange discoveries, and stories waiting to be told. We have a lot planned for this new universe, and today marks the beginning of Chapter One.
Leading the way are Edgar Allan Poe and Harry Houdini, two legendary figures who make for a fitting introduction to this mysterious new world. Both figures feature detailed sculpts, premium articulation, and character-specific accessories that help bring their stories to life. There are even rare chase accessories to discover!
The Raven Society is a Cleared for Launch project, meaning these figures are already moving forward and do not require additional funding to proceed. Pre-orders are officially open, and as a reminder, no payment is due until the figures arrive and are ready to ship.
Throughout this project, we'll be sharing updates, behind-the-scenes looks at development, and more about the characters, stories, and mysteries that make up The Raven Society. We encourage you to follow and share the project, and join us as this new world begins to unfold. Thank you for joining us at the very beginning of something new.
Welcome to The Raven Society.
