Last four shots, this is of a totally unique piece.


A few years ago, my younger brother was dating a very artistic woman.  She hand painted for me a group picture/plaque that lists all the characters on the cartoon.

I like this thread.  I have 2 very small collections, neither of which will quallify as "collectibles," perhaps, but...I will post them as soon as I can.

When my collecting started, my inner child was in control!

Now, onto my animation cels.....

Chuck,
Stunning collection!  The cels must be very precious now.
Not many artists create animation from cels these days. (other from Hayao Miyazaki, maybe? )

Superman and Wonder Woman

Chuck:

Good to see one of the biggest collectibles - animation cells.  They all seem to be the same characters I grew up with, but
with a bit of an updated look.  I guess they'll be around another 50 years after we're all gone.  Truly timeless characters
that most of us grew up with and goes to show that we never lose our love of these characters.

OK - now the questions.   I've seen different types of cells and don't remember seeing these "model" cells with the information included in the cell.
Is there a name for these types of cells?  Are they a series of them, like numbered editions?

Of course my favorite were always Batman and Robin - the real ones and the animated also.  However, I always got a kick out of the Jetsons for its
futuristic look.  Great grouping Chuck, specific in subject and a nice variety of items!   Thanks for posting.

the cels in animation without the information on them were used under the camera to create the cartoon.  What I have are "model cels", meaning they were never used to create the cartoon, but as models to show the animators what the characters look like.

Here's a more detailed explanation from "the scratchpost.com"....


Color Model Cels A cel created by the Ink & Paint Department to act as an example for inkers and painters to follow. Color models may be exact duplicates of the cels appearing in the film, or may be test models, exploring various inking techniques or color palettes. Although many collectors assume that color models are less valuable than cels used under the camera, this is not always the case. Since color model cels acted as an example for the inkers and painters to follow, great care was taken to make them absolutely flawless. Cels under the camera often had flaws due to repairs or corrections quickly done in the heat of production.
