If he's real, WATCHOUT!!!

But I guess I need to figure out if he's real first. Kinda looks like it but my translation doesn't give me any clues. What does everyone else think?

Regardless, he is beautiful.

I don't see anything there that says it's not real.

The description says "Gundam W Duo large size cel. The state is beautiful."

Nothing about it being a fan cel. But.. nothing about a cel number either.

Bah. The eye candy on that alone is worth the price of admission!

And I haven't even seen any of that anime yet!
He's a keeper!

I would email and ask, because it is too perfect to have that kind of starting bid.

duotrouble · Post by **duotrouble** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 8:29 pm

You see, I was thinking the starting bid was a little low. But then again, I tend to start my beginning bids low too.

The jagged edge at the bottom makes me want to believe it's real. I'm going to email and ask.

Good luck, DT! I hope you find out he's real, and that you have lots of luck in going for him!

*sends good luck vibes*

Hmm, if it's real, it's from the first OP which would be a huge selling point and it's not even mentioned. There is also no number and the seller doesn't have any feedback. Something just doesn't seem right. But boy if it is real... just

.

Here is a fancel I have for comparison... http://escape.rubberslug.com/gallery/in ... emID=57804 The strand of hair to the right side of the face is different but I haven't checked the screencap so I don't know if my fancel is off or if the one on YJ is off.

EDIT: Ok so I was curious and had to go check my DVD and the one on YJ matches really well with the actual OP image. It still seems too good to be true but I sure hope my skepticism is misplaced b/c that is one beauty of a cel.

I agree! It's one beauty of a cel regardless.

Email has been sent. I'll let everyone know what I find out.

*wonders where GK is*

Update time!!!

I got my email tonight. Here's what my deputy said the seller said.

This cel is made by original animator form gumdam wing
who is his friend also. But not used one for TV show.

So what do y'all think?

I might go for it because I like it but I won't bid high now.

So, it is definitely not real. It is gorgeous though. Good luck to you!

DT, please let me know if you decide not to bid on it...then I will, but I won't compete with you. Don't want to raise the price on a fancel. It is a great image.

Here I am DT! I've had one heck of a week.

Sorry for the delay....but loved your little PM to me.

Made me smile. I'm tempted to try since it's still by an original animator. Hmmmmm.

GK!!! You made it!

Glad you enjoyed my pm.

AH! Thanks!

Check your pm.

Well, good luck everyone who decides to go for this Duo! He's really pretty!
