Richie Rich characters' hairstyles and wardrobe?

EightiesIsEnough

I have been a fan of Richie Rich comics since fall 1981.  Its demand was in decline by that point, and the publisher ceased operations a year later, so I guess you could consider me one of the last new fans of such comics around that time.

I am sure many of you are not familiar with such comics, but I will sum it up in detail.

Richie Rich is a blond-haired boy who is raised in a wealthy family.  Unlike Donald Trump, his family gives his excess fortune to charities and to those in need.  Macauley Culkin played the title role in the 1994 movie adaptation.

But I would like to know if there are any hairstyles and outfits out there that could be used to create my own Genesis 3 versions of Richie Rich and his friends, relatives and even villains?  And by the way, I do have the Growing Up shapes in my inventory.

Here is a list of the characters with links to images that illustrate their likenesses:

 

Richie and his Friends:

Of course, many of the hairstyles, designed for adults, can be parented onto the heads of younger Genesis 3 characters.

The Gumdrops are similar to the kids & for the adults there is Krystal, I forget the other girl's name, Ichiro, and Kyle but I don't know if they have fat morphs and such. For sure some of the hair styles would have to be made.

If you're wanting to use Genesis 3, then I think Toon Generations 2 is probably your closest match. You'd need the full bundle to get more of the clothes, hair, etc. that you need, but I'd wait until that goes on sale. Even then, some of the styles (hair, face shapes) could use some extra morphing in Zbrush or Blender. You also might want to look at some of the toon shader products for Daz Studio.

Outside of Genesis 3, I agree that Gumdrops is a good fit for the kids, but I can't think of a good match for the adult figures from older generations.

Another product line for Genesis 3 that might fill in the gaps would be the Multi-Man series. It's on sale at this moment but might go cheaper this month. Who knows?

By the way, I own both of those product lines and have been pleased with the quality.

Another few good Genesis 3 options for blending with Toon Generations are:

Some toon shader options:

https://www.daz3d.com/manga-style-shaders

https://www.daz3d.com/visual-style-shaders (I own this one and like it)

And then there's Star 2, but she's probably a little far off from what you're trying to do, but I'll put a link just in case.

Mylochka has a lot of free hair over at ShareCG that might work for 60s updos:

If you choose Gumdrops, trumarcar has a lot of wonderful freebie hair and clothes at her site:

Gumdrops & those associated are still the closest and cheapest for the main star kid characters. You can get free addons at the Trumarcar freebie site. http://trumarcar.francemi.net/

You might try instead the Sakura & Susuke Genesis 8 characters combined with Toon Generations 4 and the DAZ Originals Head Morphs, Boby Morphs, Expressions (yes the Head, Body, & Expressions have to be bought for both G8F & G8M).

And yes, if you do anything than the Gumdrops, Ichico, Krystal & associated characters, it's going to be expensive.

If you want cartoon shading you then the PW Shader bundle that includes PWToon & you need to render in 3DL.
