This figure is based on one of the main characters from the television show Liberty's Kids. In the show, three youngsters serve as journalists for Benjamin Franklin and report on the major--and sometimes minor--events of the American Revolution. This figure, Miss Sarah Phillips, is the daughter of a British Army officer serving in America. In the first episode, Sarah comes to America to find him. During the ongoing show, she provides a British/Loyalist perspective to much of the reporting done.
The figure herself began as a recast Marx "Cilia" figure. Much change was required to transform her into Sarah Phillips. From top to bottom: the cap was removed and hair sculpted, golden locket added, neckline squared off, shawl removed, quill pen sculpted, flair and length added to sleeves, pointed bodice, piping down front of dress, and paper to record news. Whew! This is some of the most work I have ever done to convert a figure. However, I believe that the final product was well worth the effort.
