Betty and Veronica?

Markhatestoys · 07-30-2022, 01:11 AM

I'm just wondering if any statue companies out there have ever considered the Archie characters as a license, specifically Betty and Veronica? They'd make a pair of really cute pinup-type statues, and if some company out there could translate Dan Decarlo's art into 3-D I'd be all over them...

This idea has merit and my support!

Same. Adam Hughes inspired would be my choice.

These days it seems like almost every A-list artist has taken a crack at them for a variant cover. Mike Allred's versions are gorgeous for example. But I'm a stickler for that vintage Dan DeCarlo stuff, 200-proof and straight from the bottle.

We are on it! B & V have been on our radar for years. I want to do a Girls of Riverdale line in DeCarlo style but it would depend on the sales of B & V. Hughes versions are in the plan as well. Would love to do them as companion pieces to his DC Cover Girls line from way back. Just have to find a way to contact him. We'll see. Already in licensing conversations. Sculpts (not final) by the amazing Karen Palinko! Follow us on Instagram for most updates!

I hope you get to make the statues.

This is awesome to hear!

... And Betty is already looking great. The sculpt matches the artwork very well. If Veronica looks just as great, then I'm in.

Yay! ^_^

I love those concepts, and I agree: the sculpt of Betty is fantastic.

I'd also love to see Sabrina or Josie & The Pussycats in similar form, someday.

Yes, Yes! Please, ALL these DeCarlo cuties.

I was tempted to reply earlier that a project like this sounds like it would be up Electric Tiki's alley. Very happy to see they are already on it.
