Did they ever make a full set one for Misa? Just see a few with bad compositions.

Nice addition jvmacross. Is there substantial trace line fading?

@gtc_fan:  Very nice production gengas and cels! Thanks for sharing!

There has been some hankens surfacing mainly from the SFDM TV series.

Also HA had some awesome original box artworks and promotional hanken art. Did anyone pick any up?

Guess I may as well post my signed Tenjin illustration here....

Yes....it is as tall as a washer or dryer....and about as wide as one and a half of either! 

That drawing is awesome! It deserves to be lovingly framed and preserved.

Very nice book. Time to start shopping again.

Nice cover indeed. Pity the interior art pales in comparison. Wondering what will it take for them to release a better compilation book for the classics for the TV and OVAs? Seems those series should be due a new book or two.

Wow! Such a project of devotion. Thank you for creating and sharing this. Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you! 👍

Missed the HA action did anyone pick anything up?

Agreed about nothing ruining the potential gains, but the who knows, something is always a brewing. Be safe friends.

Nice book! Great addition JVmacross. Bet you have most of the merchandise referenced in the book.

Surprising there aren't more kitchen ware stuff for Macross since the increase of popularity of Frontier and Delta. No Macross love in the kitchen.

Nice add jvmacross.

How much exposure does that site get Mokman? If it isn't popular the price might not reach higher levels. Will you bid?

Nice Macross Zero posters don't get much love.

Congratulations mokuji! Do you have a RS gallery? RS is down again so if you can share the url it would be great. Thanks!

Nice! Didn't pick anything up, did anyone else?

Will the original Morpheus appear?

It is not uncommon for sellers to buyback a cel or even original comic art from a buyer when they consider selling. Often the buyer gives the seller a courtesy heads up and a first chance before listing online. Actually done this more than a few times. This might seem strange to some, but this practice is akin to keeping an interested buyers list, and notifying the individuals before listing. YMMV.

I sold that cel on eBay to a buyer in Japan (via a forwarding service) who immediately put it on Yahoo! Japan at an inflated price (I didn't know they would do that).  I've noticed that there are at least a couple of sellers based in Japan that trawl the U.S. eBay for cels they think they can resell to Japanese collectors at a higher price.

I decided to part with that cel because it seemed to be deteriorating.  It had noticeable oxidation spotting, which I wasn't too concerned about initially.  However, one day when I checked on the cel I noticed that the sides had become wavy (although there was no vinegar smell).  I had a few options:

1) Quarantine the cel from the rest of my collection;

2) Ship it to Cel Oasis for however many months and see if they could restore it; or

3) Sell it before the condition got any worse.

I decided to sell it (for a very reasonable price), disclosing its condition, with the hope that another Macross cel will come along at some point.  It's a little difficult for me to quarantine cels in my small apartment, and I didn't want to risk the rest of my collection getting contaminated.

I hope for the sake of whoever bought it for triple the price that it does last for a while.   

   

Ah. Wish you offered it back to me at what I charged you, as I would've bought it back.

Did not mean Keanu was doing the film for the cash grab, rather the studios. Studio interviews claim the trilogy was originally going to be about Neo's Resurrection. But the lengthy timeline gap does not lend any justification why this film even needs to be made now. Really hope they delve into the Matrix world instead of merely doing a soft reboot with an amnestic Neo.

Yuppers, Ghibli art resells differently than Macross artworks,

Btw, didn't even notice you were posting sold art & cel prices in another thread! 😏 Could you post the sold art and cel stuff in this thread instead? Thanks! Notice there is zero art discussion in the other thread, but here it is one of the main hot topics. Just a thought and request if you will.

Some nice DYRL cels sold recently. Good prices. Wow, even the DYRL I sold to ZenAmako sold for much more than triple what I charged him. 😛

This TV cel was a possible fake, Super Dimension Fortress Macross Hikaru Ichijo Misa Hayase - 42,000 JPY https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h576110679

Expect a lot of CG, stunt doubles, and disappointed original anime fans. Keep up the stellar work NFLX.

Easy pass on whatever this drivel is.

How long before 'copycats'?

Enjoy Keanu but this fourth installment seems needless and a cash grab. Does anyone else keep seeing John Wick? Would it have killed them to change his appearance more?? Geezus. Will watch it just for him and hope the story is not a predictable and boring plot.

The original Megazone23 OVA had IMO the best character designs from the series. Unfortunately they decided to go with a highly jarring and different character designs. Japanese anime fans did not respond favorably to the subsequent OVAs.  Also it is interesting art from OVA 1 are the most sought after by collectors and command the highest prices. Must be a funny coincidence, right?

Dangaioh OVAs are fantastic from character and mecha design perspectives! Kawamori and Obari lend their considerable mecha talents. The character designs by Toshihiro Hirano are top notch and showcase his brilliance. The anime is a visual masterpiece IMO, however, the story is fairly simple. My advice just enjoy the awesome visuals and music.

Ghibli art has soared to the highest levels mainly due to increased global demands. That said, if you have not watched Ghlibi films and you can handle darker mature themes, consider Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa, and Laputa. Note the art from these series are generally 25+ years old and are not in the best condition. So there is that little detail that may give you pause if considering jumping into collecting Ghibli art. Good luck and happy hunting gents.

The episodes are damn short (less than 20 minutes) filled mainly with asinine filler, expositions, posing, and inane reactions by stupid characters (Goll). Watching the series and the animation is very stiff, far too many held frames with little to no actual animation. The fight sequences are boring AF mainly due to the lengthy flashbacks detailing character histories. Far too much time is spent on the other filler/audience characters reactions. 🤦‍♂️ The story premise has been done before, ala YuYuHakusho, where the champions of Earth battle for the survival of its inhabitants against 'gods'. 🥱
