The Heroes of the American Revolution doll series was not previously on my radar. It seems they made efforts to be historically accurate with a lot of the clothing. George Washington’s outfit is a good match for the original in the Smithsonian and I was surprised that it is also true for Ben Franklin’s clothing. Can’t beat the price on some of them too, Ben was only about ten bucks shipped.
The head construction is compatible with a modern Mego body. I carried over the clothing sans shirt and vest but he was still looked like he was missing something. An LJN SWAT belt buckle and a new strip of vinyl really ties the whole thing together. An old chromed cocktail sword was a good match for Ben’s actual sterling silver ceremonial sword.
I’m thinking of doing more and calling them the Fighting Founding Fathers. Hope you enjoy.
