HEAVY METAL ORIGINAL CEL PORTFOLIO, LTD. ED. #738/1000, 8 PRODUCTION CELS, withCOA

HEAVY METAL ORIGINAL CEL PORTFOLIO, WITH EIGHT (8) HAND- PAINTED PRODUCTION CELS, FROM THE VARIOUS SEQUENCES FROM THE FILM, PRESENTED IN A FULL COLOR PORTFOLIO JACKET WITH A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY SIGNED BY MICHAEL GROSS, THE ART DIRECTOR OF THE 1981 FILM. UNLIKE MOST OF THE OTHER CEL PORTFOLIOS OFFERED THAT HAVE NO CELS OF TAARNA AND VERY SMALL CHARACTER IMAGES ON THEIR CELS, THIS ONE HAS A CEL OF TAARNA, AND SEVERAL OF THE CELS FEATURE LARGE IMAGES OF THE CHARACTERS. THE CELS ARE ALL IN MINT CONDITION (ALTHOUGH SOME HAVE YELLOWED TAPE AT THE BOTTOM WHERE THEY ATTACHED SCENE AND SEQUENCE NUMBERS), AND THE PORTFOLIO JACKET NEARLY SO, WITH ONLY A FEW CREASES ALONG THE SPINE AND A COUPLE OF VERY, VERY MINOR CORNER DINGS. PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS TO JUDGE CONDITION FOR YOURSELF. WE'VE BEEN DEALING IN ANIMATION ART, BOTH RETAIL AND WHOLESALE, FOR OVER 40 YEARS, AND HAVE FOUND THE CELS AND BACKGROUNDS FROM HEAVY METAL-- AND PARTICULARLY THOSE FROM THE TAARNA SEQUENCE OF THE FILM-- TO BE EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS ANYTHING FROM THE DISNEY OR BLUTH STUDIOS.

This Original, Hand-Painted Cel Portfolio has been stored in our Light-Controlled/Temperature Controlled Gallery for the last several decades, just recently photographed for sale, and is still in nearly MINT condition, with Lustrous, UNfaded colors. In addition to Limited Edition Cels, Sericels, and Production Cels, we also have a vast inventory of Cels on Production Backgrounds-- both Key (Matching) setups, and Wonderful "Marriages" not Key, but work really well together! We carry setups from Disney, Bluth, Filmation, Rankin & Bass, Rich/Nest, Bakshi and Heavy Metal Studios. We also carry several of the Walt Disney Collectors Club (WDCC) figurines, as well as a huge variety of other Disney figures and collectibles from most of the major manufacturers: Disney, Enesco, Goebel, Schmid, Anri, Laurenz Capodimonte, etc. We also carry fantasy and science fiction and dinosaur action figures, figurines, sculptures and toys-- as well as related magazines and other collectibles.
