Original hand-drawn and marker-colored character design art featuring two holiday-themed characters on one board from Hasbro's Potato Head Kids toy line and 1986-87 syndicated animated series (Hasbro/Sunbow Productions/Marvel Productions). This one-of-a-kind piece comes from the estate of illustrator Pamela Sweet, a Hasbro character designer from 1983-1992.
The board features two character concepts: one wearing curled ram horns and fleece-trimmed boots, and one wearing purple reindeer antlers with a feathered holiday-style outfit. The board bears a blue "CONFIDENTIAL – Property of Hasbro Industries – Authorization Required for Removal" stamp, a design number, the artist's signature, a witness signature, and a 1986 date. The reverse is labeled simply "Bucky" in the artist's hand.
A striking two-character holiday-themed piece for collectors of animation/production art, Hasbro history, or 1980s toy design ephemera. Please see detailed photos for exact condition — general wear consistent with age includes toning to the presentation board; no tears, creases, or damage to the illustrations themselves were observed.
I am always happy to consider any reasonable offer and will combine shipping.

Used/Vintage – Good to Very Good. Original ink and marker colors remain vibrant and well preserved on both character studies. Board shows expected age-related toning. No rips, creases, or losses to the illustrations observed.
