Original hand-painted marker concept artwork for Hasbro\'s 1986 Potato Head Kids toy line, featuring two character studies on a single board: one figure in a red cap holding an orange flag with yellow shoes, and a second figure in a green cap with blue shoes — both wearing the signature orange harness with heart-shaped buckle. The reverse of the board is inscribed \"Kippy\" in red marker, identifying the character name used internally during development. The front bears Hasbro\'s blue \"CONFIDENTIAL – Property of Hasbro Industries, Authorization Required for Removal\" studio stamp, with a hand-written development number, artist credit to Pamela Sweet, a witness signature, and a 1986 date. This piece comes from the estate of Pamela Sweet, a Hasbro character designer active from 1983–1992 who worked on My Little Pony and the Potato Head Kids/Potato Head lines. A wonderful piece of 1980s toy design history and a rare look at the concept process behind a beloved Hasbro property. Please see detailed photos for item condition as part of this description. I am always happy to consider any reasonable offer and will combine shipping.
