I've collected a few freebies over the years, and I hope some of you can ID the series/characters for me.

Thanks!

The fifth one is Captain Yamamoto from Yat Anshin. You can see another cel of him in the same outfit in Vapalla's big collection of cels from this series (with good background info):

You nailed it, Roboflonne!

It's a 1994-95 production called 銀河戦国群雄伝ライaka Ginga Sengoku Gunyūden Rai aka Galactic Civil War Chronicle Thunder Jet or "Thunder Jet" for short. You can find the OP on Youtube (with other snippets) that show this hunky main character and the Big Evil Kitty with whom he does battle in the second image.

A quick check at ANN shows that it evidently was pretty popular in the Middle East in an Arabic dub.

[PS: it seems to have been very well cast. A glance down the seiyuu list turns up Kappei Yamaguchi (Inuyasha, etc. etc.), Kotono Mitsuishi (Usagi/Sailor Moon etc. etc. ), and Megumi Ogata (Shinji Ikari, Yukito/Yue, etc. etc.) in the cast.]

Wow! Thanks everyone!

Any ideas on the sketch? It came stuck to the back of a Lum cel but after a series of humid days it popped off. It could be some extras from the show...but I'm not sure.
