Original hand-painted marker concept artwork for Hasbro\'s 1986 Potato Head Kids toy line, depicting two related character studies with shaggy green/yellow straw-like hair, one with an orange pocket detail at the waist, both in blue sneakers. The reverse of the board is inscribed \"Tater Chip\" in ink and circled, identifying the internal character name. The front carries Hasbro\'s blue \"CONFIDENTIAL – Property of Hasbro Industries, Authorization Required for Removal\" studio stamp, a development number, an artist signature, a witness signature, and a 1986 date. This piece comes from the estate of Pamela Sweet, a Hasbro character designer who worked on My Little Pony and Potato Head Kids/Potato Head in the 1980s and 2000s. A charming, historically documented piece of Hasbro toy design development art. 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.
