Eternal_D Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 for some reason it looks more robotech than macross. you should ask him what episode that's from and try to find it in the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted October 15, 2004 Author Share Posted October 15, 2004 i really am not interested in buying it, but i was just curious, i do not think there was any american Robotech animation done, i was always under the impression that the USA version of Robotech is the Japanese version of Macross redubbed and edited and no american made animation was done for it. am i wrong?? i think he says what episode it is from but the cel just looks so weird i wonder if it is a bootleg cel that someone did on there own and passed it off for real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeo-mare Posted October 15, 2004 Author Share Posted October 15, 2004 yeah i am saying the same thing, he has another one up with Minmay that one looks alittle more real but there is something about this one that bugs me, i have always wanted to buy a few cels for my collection for Macross and Gundam but i really have to keep a eye out now i am all but certain that there are fakes going around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baronv Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I saw that same cel and it does look fake and does not resemble actual production cels. I collect cels and while I'm no expert on it, I do have some macross, transformers, gundam cels to compare with and this one looks too fake to me. The color shading and even the eyes on the characters to not resemble the ones from the show. Though the production cel number at the top right of the sheet does make it look authentic, but again it's not that hard to do. If this was the real thing, there would be serious bidders on this thing right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I'm also not a expert on cels but these sure stand out as fake. The thing that tips it off is the thick black outlines. They're really thick and defined. You can do a search for Macross cels and you will see the legit ones have much thinner outlines and are usually irregular in width.
