Cels Forum

Hi
Nope, but it's the nicest cel of Shampoo as a cat I've ever seen.
It's also one of those cels like human Ryo-ohki that are both 
highly valued by collectors and rarer than you might imagine!
For instance, I went through and counted human Ryo-ohki in her adult form
in the one OVA episode where she has that form and there are a maximum of 
about 126 cels of her in that form, including 1 pan cel, many closed eyes, back-of-heads, 
and things like that.
Shampoo as a cat cels by rights ought to be a /lot/ more common because she appeared in that form
many more times, but they are also prized by Japanese collectors, so not a lot of them make 
it over here. This is only the second Shampoo-cat cel I've seen for sale during my 
time collecting and is the absolute best shot I've ever seen. Unfortunately I'm just 
not in the running now that it's hit $400. I'd give $250 for it in a heartbeat, but 
what the hey, you know. I'm still glad it's on auction because this way I feel that the 
person who wanted it the most and was willing to sacrifice the most for it got it 
rather than the person who happened to be on the computer and hit 'refresh' the fastest 
during an update. ^_^ So I feel like I at least had a chance. 
I paid a lot more than that for the hanken cels I got (which I am going to pick up this weekend),
but those cels mean a lot more to me. This is a nice cel and my congratulations to whoever 
ends up with it! You have my envy. ^_^
