Raa Raa the Noisy Lion Toys

Introduction
Raa Raa the Noisy Lion (Originally called "Rah Rah The Noisy Lion" but often misspelt "Ra Ra The Noisy Lion") is a children's TV series created by Chapman Entertainment.

The show began airing on CBeebies in May 2011 and is narrated by the popular TV presenter, Lorraine Kelly. It's set in the Jingly Jangly Jungle where Raa Raa and his friends share many exciting adventures.

The Toy Licence
Household name toy maker, Tomy, was granted the licence to supply Raa Raa the Noisy Lion toys. These include soft toys of Raa Raa and his friends, an arts and crafts range, some infant preschool products and a playset that is the showcase toy in the range..

Toy fans may notice more than a slight resemblance to some other recently released playsets such as the Jungle Junction playset and the Octonauts Octopod. Not that this will affect the amount of fun that can be had out of the Raa Raa playset of course!

Toy Release Dates
Although the toys will not be on general release until January 2012, Toys R Us has been given the exclusive right to start selling the toys now. If you're after a Raa Raa toy for Christmas, don't delay because the show's popularity will mean the toys are in great demand.
