Betty Boop’s first rise to fame came in 1930, as an animated character created by Myron “Grim” Natwick. Outshining her male co-star in the cartoons, Betty gained titles from the press such as “Animation’s First Leading Lady” and “The Queen of the Animated Screen”. Although the cartoons finished in 1939, Betty Boop Collectables celebrate her fame and have furthered Betty’s popularity into this Century, 70 years after her first cartoon was broadcast. Apart from a cameo in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Betty’s adventures are only continued through the range of Betty Boop Figures and memorabilia.

Betty became revolutionary in the 1930’s by being more popular than her male co-star, indeed she quickly took the lead role. Before this, female animated characters had shown little more than eyelashes or a bow to distinguish them from their male counterparts. Based on stars of the twenties such as Clara Bow and Helen Kane, Betty’s feminine charm and take on the 1920’s flapper girls made her a huge hit. It was this immense popularity which lead to her having her very own series soon after being first broadcast. Today, Betty Boop Figurines make it possible to keep Betty at the height of her popularity.
