Keep in mind that publicity cels are done en masse. There will be several that look exactly alike. They do look quite nice, similar to a model cel, but hankens are one-offs and tend to be of higher quality. You'll see time consuming techniques, such as airbrush, on a hanken but never on a publicity ...

Yes, I own some publicity cels. They are hand painted by the original studio artists in an effort to promote the series and broaden viewership. They are similar to sericels or rilezu cels in that they are done post-production or in-between seasons but often do not depict a specific frame or scene fr...

Wow, that's hideous.

ROBOCOP! Your profile picture is marvelous! Made my whole day, it did.

I put a deposit down for the new LIFE SIZED RoboCop bust by Fred Barton on Sideshow Collectibles . I'm drooling just thinking about it. EEEEE!!! When it arrives, I'm going to take tons of pictures with it and maybe even marry it. It's weird but lately there have been oodles of references about RoboC...

I love your description about her swan-like neck, that is spot on! Such a fantastically accurate observation. I'm on Facebook, click the link in my signature! I looked for your name on FB but there's a lot of Tom Camps on there. Friend me!

What a shame. People are buying from him and not realizing what they are receiving.

Hey there, GREAT Leila :wink: I'm so glad she stayed within the Beta family so I can visit her whenever I want. I always particularly liked the detail of her gun and hands. I have a thing about hands, they are difficult to draw well. That scene can also be seen on the back of the VHDBL DVD (at least...

But aren't rilezu studio sanctioned? Approved by and done by the people who actually worked on the series? With that level of authenticity, a rilezu should garner a heftier price. A fan cel floating around YJ by some unnamed and unknown artist does not inspire as much confidence. Who knows what qual...

Ah, thanks! But why the hefty price tag? O.o I find that to be kind of excessive for something made by a fan. I also wonder why several of us didn't know it was listed as a fan cel. Kind of dangerous when you think about it. Looking again at the listing, the Google translate program refers to the ce...

This Sailor Uranus cel on YJ is fake, right? I don't see sequence or layer numbers and there's absolutely no line fade. I don't know if the auction description mentions this is a fan cel or something but, even so, that price would make me think they were attempting to pass it off as the real thing. ...

Wow, that's wonderful news Krafty! Congratulations, I'm so happy for you! Sounds like you are getting prepared ^_^

Married; my hooby bought our first cel. I was definitely more addicted than he was but now we are on even ground. Cels continue to be enjoyable but actively collecting them has taken a backseat to other things. It's nice when someone can share your interests. Gives more meaning and greater purpose t...

Could someone please send me the link as well? I seem to have misplaced it *pats shirt and pants pockets, respectively*

I looooved it! It's nice to see a series reboot (feels more like a sequel) that's a big boon for the franchise. Transformers, for instance, cannot always pull that off (the new Prime series is kinda so-so, TF: Animated was much better). But I'm hearing the Hub isn't doing well. GI Joe: Renegade is a...
