DBZ Animation Cels on RightStuf
I feel like there'd be an appropriate thread for me to put this in already, but I'm drawing a blank on what one that would be, so for now I'll just make it it's own thread I suppose - a mod is more than welcome to merge this into something else of course though.
Apparently RightStuf may be looking into getting into selling cels now, or at least 'Chroma Cels' which they explain to be 'high-quality reproductions of original animation cels created with exclusive, cutting-edge printing technology'. I'm not knowledgeable enough about cels to know how true any of this is, but they look nice enough to me at any rate. In regards to Dragon Ball, they have two up so far -
Goku, Chi Chi, and Gohan
Goku and Captain Ginyu
For about $20 a pop, are these a pretty good deal? Again, I'm not entirely familiar with how much cels usually go for, much less Chroma Cels or whatever. They also had a couple of Slayers ones that were autographed and went for $40, so we may eventually see something akin to that pop up for Dragon Ball as well (please not however that with Slayers, it was a dub actress signature, so we'd likely see dub actor signatures on the Dragon Ball ones too, rather than seiyuu, before anyone gets TOO excited).

Like you mentioned, they're just reproductions rather than the real deal, but they're cool all the same.
If you don't feel like splashing out hundreds for real cels, then these aren't a bad option. I bought an Evangelion one a few years back.

Chroma cels of these exact same shots were sold on the Z Store over a decade ago, peep 1:04 of this video:

I think the Z Store and RightStuf merged a long time ago? My guess is that RightStuf either found a bunch of these in their warehouse or bought a ton of new old stock for super cheap. You might have to crawl through the Wayback Machine to find out what these used to run for, but I at least remember them being higher than $20 back then.

Hmmmm....to buy or not to buy.....
Re: DBZ Animation Cels on RightStuf
I don't know... I don't think it's really worth buying anything that's a 'reproduction'.. seems a bit pointless to me. I'd always be looking at it going "it's not the real thing".

I think they're intended to be a middle line; a step up from framing a screenshot but a cheaper alternative to buying a real animation cell.LordCrumb wrote:I don't know...
