Daria Collectibles

From an article by Mr. Anonymous:

Of the roughly hundred licensed bits of Daria merchandise patches and stickers are among the items that are still relatively easy to find. In total there were six patches produced and sixteen patches, fifteen of which were produced commercially.

First let’s look at the patches.

The first three feature our heroine in three different guises. Of course there's the logo but then we get treated to one of just her head and torso with no logo getting in the way. The final one has the familiar picture of her holding a skull. All three are quite colorful. The scan has muted the colors but they are quite attractive when viewed up close.

The final three patches feature the Lane siblings in all their glory or at least in familiar poses. Jane graces her sole embroidered effort with a rather bored look while channel surfing with her favorite remote control in hand. Trent get treated to a duo of patches though. His first shows him with his guitar. Fortunately he isn't playing anything so it's quite nice. The second patch has him in a more familiar pose sleeping the day (or night -- whichever) away.

All six patched are embroidered and about 1-3/4 to 2" across. As the pictures show they come on a rather plain black card and are stapled on. They can be ironed on to whatever you plan to stick them too but many people have stated they don't always stay attached that way so it might be wise to consider getting out the sewing kit and making sure they stay put that way.

These still show up on auction sites from time to time and are quite reasonable. There are also a few online retailers that still have these in stock so a little research can turn them up. That is if you want them.
