If you've been watching the CW's "Riverdale," then you have a fresh, modern take on the characters of Archie Comics. We invite you to explore Archie's roots on the printed page in the March episode of the new "Terrific non-TV Toys" web series.
Inspired by the comics that began in the 1940s, these three plush dolls from three different eras are lively and fun. Take the 1977 Mattel Archie doll, part of a larger series the company released at that time, many of which can be snagged on eBay right now. Then there's the 1987 series by Applause / Presents, big and robust at 18-19" high. We complete the plush doll study with a Betty from the claw games at the mall or grocery store. She's from 2005 or so and also part of a larger set, all adorable in her jeans and shirt.

Ok this may be out in left field, I recently learned through a trivia about the movie "Predator" series that in comic media Archie goes up against a predator. It don't end well for archie. My source is you tube user minty comedic arts. He does these 10 things you may not know series of movies. Just thought I'd add my 0.02.
ReplyDeleteYea, I have that Archie Meets the Predator series downstairs, if you ever want to borrow it. They did alternate covers, one in the Riverdale style and one in the Predator style.
