As noted - these Test Cels ARE PART of the
production process.
They are not repros or
If I had the real Hanken Mono I would have no
issue with someone possessing test a cel.
Being for or against these test cels has
basically nothing to do with the fact that they
exist.
If you had the Hanken for $3,000 and I paid $400
for the production genga/sketches you'd still
HAVE the Hanken. I'd have something other than
the Hanken but which still has been produced by
the same studio and same artists for the purpose
of making that Hanken and most importantly is NOT
some mindless copy.
The test cels were made with a purpose. I can
fully accept that you as a collector see less
value in them - But, it does not change the fact
that the cels are
1) legitimate pre-production items
2) some people see value in them
3) some people - not neccessarily you - will pay
decent $ for them
I don;t even see this as a fancel debate. This is
akin to bagging douga collectors because they
have not got the onscreen cel.
The only point which raised my hackles - which
may or may not been posted by you was to cast
annon aspersions at a cel dealer. I feel that if
you are going to do something like that - do it
upfront. If that post wasn't you - (since there
were sooo many annon posts then you have my
apologies). |
