One thing I recently noticed is that April has no animation frames in the actual episode (only on screen for about 2 seconds). But my animation cel (and the six others that sold from the ebay store) actually feature distinct frames where she moves her arms and face. For whatever reason, the animation cels did not make it into the episode, as Irma got the focus of the scene and speaking parts.

I’ve had numerous cels I knew were from a particular scene/episode, but could never see the exact frame in the episode. Cut for time perhaps? I always thought edits and timing were planned out before animation, or at least before final cels were made.

Can you post your frames? Would be nice to see the actual cells.

If there's anything consistent about the old TMNT cartoon, it's that "mistakes get made."

I have two more cels that feature a cut animation sequence near the end of "Mean Machines."

Heh, yeah, I noticed the same seller actually had SEVEN April bikini cels for sale, each one with a slightly different animation frame. They sold pretty fast, and I imagine they made a decent profit!

I actually bought it at Toys R Us, back when they had hundreds of cells for sale

Oh, cool, so now we know there were at least 8 frames for this bit!
