I knew there would be a story on stacking (Archie #234)

They've only been promoting the DVD of the stacking game at my store since October.

Isn't Veronica's eyes supposed to be blue?

The realistic one has brown eyes BTW.

I know Betty has blue eyes, but I can't recall Veronica's eye colour being mentioned.

Personally, I think the brown eyes look better on Veronica than blue would.
