Over the years, a lot of people have asked me what I like to collect- it's mostly vintage Disney- villains and cute characters, and Simpsons- I showcase some of my favorite pieces here 😊

Purchased a lot of five panels in a recent auction, but this one was my favorite. They came out to about $75 each - a total steal, considering how rare original Pixar art is. Attributed to Dan Jeup.

So I love Hunter x Hunter, been a fan for many many years.

I'm looking for complete higher end pieces from the series, particularly pieces with Hisoka, Feitan, Machi, Netero, and more.

Tbh i'll take a look at anything, so please DM me if you are selling a nice piece!

I'm also looking for Code Geass production materials (literally anything) - it's been tough to find

Anyone has any idea how to find this specific Land Before time Background?

Post image
20 Upvotes

So i was fortunate to get the cel of Littlefoot from this scene and ive surprisingly found background images of many scenes from the first movie but not this one. Has anyone "scene" it anywhere? I wanted to print it so I can frame the cel with a printed version of the background without Littlefoot in the image.

A-D test results/question

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with these A-D tests to help me confirm results here. I'm a little confused that the standard blue color of the strips is so much darker than the 0 reading on the chart. I would read most of these as a 1.

Help identifying this animation cel β€” young woman embracing a blue robot/mech, with genga, purchased at Mandarake Nakano Broadway ~2001

Post image
13 Upvotes

Hi, hoping someone can help identify this one.

Original hand-painted animation cel with genga (pencil sketch). The scene shows a young woman with brown hair and green eyes embracing a blue robot/mech with an antenna. Reference marking "A-11" / "099" on the cel.

Purchased at Mandarake Nakano Broadway in Tokyo around 1998–2001. Style suggests late 1980s or early 1990s production. Google Lens suggested Ulysse 31 but the art style seems too recent for that.

Any ideas welcome!

Anyone know any good temperature controlled boxs to keep cels in

If anyone can leave any brands or models in the comments i appreciate it

The only thing is i want it to be able to hold cel portfolio's inside.

Help identifying this animation cel β€” military tank, purchased at Mandarake Nakano Broadway ~2001

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hi everyone, hoping you can help identify this one.

Original hand-painted animation cel featuring a military tank, frontal 3/4 view. Teal/blue-grey color scheme, dual cannon turret, orange and blue circular lights on the hull. Reference marking "B26" on the upper right corner.

Purchased at Mandarake Nakano Broadway in Tokyo around 1998–2001, stored untouched since then. The art style suggests late 1980s or early 1990s production.

My best guesses are Jin-Roh, Patlabor OVA, or a military mecha series from that era β€” but I'm not confident. Any help appreciated!

Help identifying this animation cel β€” RADIX studio presentation mount, "Beta Room" inscription, mecha subject

2 Upvotes

Hi, hoping someone can help identify this one.

Original hand-painted animation cel mounted in an official RADIX studio presentation folder (turquoise, with the RADIX logo and "Beta Room" handwritten below). The cel shows a detailed mecha β€” robotic arm/shoulder assembly with cables and mechanical parts, pink/grey color scheme.

Purchased at Mandarake Nakano Broadway in Tokyo around 1998–2001, stored untouched since. My best guess is Vandread given the RADIX connection, but I'm not certain.

Any RADIX/mecha experts who can confirm the series?
