A highly detailed original concept sheet for \"Sophie,\" an ambulance-themed vehicle designed for Hasbro\'s 1986 Potato Head Kids toy line, featuring two Potato Head Kids passengers, one wearing a nurse\'s cap. The artwork is fully annotated by the design team with callouts describing the toy\'s intended features: a removable ambulance light, a removable front grill, a window label, and a removable stretcher that fits on the back — along with a note that the toy \"comes with one nurses cap and one pair of nurses shoes.\" The sheet carries Hasbro\'s blue \"CONFIDENTIAL – Property of Hasbro Industries, Authorization Required for Removal\" studio stamp, a development number, artist credit (\"Swift/Norton\"), a witness signature, and a March 1986 date. This is an unusually complete piece of toy development documentation, showing not just the character design but the functional engineering notes behind an actual planned Hasbro playset vehicle. From the estate of Pamela Sweet, a Hasbro character designer of the era. 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.
