The 'I Got A New Piece Of Art' Thread, (for everybody!)

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.

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!

I actually have one of those April bikini cels, too! Very cool.
