Subject: From: URL: E-mail:	Help, question about this "cel"!! (Thu Apr 26 21:57:26 2001 ) Ericdb http://www.geocities.com/e_blood7/ ericblood83@hotmail.com

I bought this a while back from Japan. I was wondering if anyone knows what it is. I'm assuming its an oversized reproduction hanken cel- atleast that's what i'm calling it, because it fits all the criteria. Oversized- Its huge (took me six scans to fit) Hanken- It was made for use in something other than the series. Reproduction- Its not an original. Cel- It is a clear (slightly translucent actually) piece of plastic with artwork on it. Would I be accurate in calling it this? ANY help or comments would be greatly appreciated. Here's a link to a very large picture of it. http://www.geocities.com/e_blood8/ovhankenrepro.JP G

  - Well, yes, but even when xeroxed they're considered "reproduction cels"...look at the Eva ones.... - (Apr 27 02:21)
    - in order to be called "reporduction cel" it must be a repoduction of an actual cel (me thinks)...(nt) - joyka. (Apr 27 04:22)
      - Yes, but it's a reproduction of a hanken cel...thus a "hanken reproduction cel"...a reproduction of an actual hanken cel - (Apr 27 04:31)
        
        Still don't think the term "cel" is appropriate...(more) - Marauder (Apr 27 05:18)

        Cel just means "celluloid", clear plastic, as pointed out, and thus as long as it is not stated to be a production cel, - (Apr 27 21:57)
        
        There is a difference between "plastc" and "celluloid" or the acetate that cels are painted on. Items like shitajiki ca - Lady Brick (Apr 27 22:14)
