Back in 2001, AIC authorized a series of 5 "all
hand paint" or AHP cels in editions of 500 for,
I believe, about 50000 yen. I don't know
whether or not the actual painting was done by
AIC artists. The top 4 cels in the jpeg are the
ones they made, other than the chibi Belldandy
you have. I think a place called Anime Depot
was the official distributor, but the old link I
have for them is no longer working. They also
sold AIC-authorized AHP reproductions of 10 or
12 AMG hanken cels in smaller editions for about
5 to 7 times that price. For example, the
bottom cel was listed for 360000 yen, although I
don't know whether anyone actually paid that. |
