5 out of 5 stars

Item highlights

  • Vintage: From the 1980s

Seller's description

This is a cool, vintage, and original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles handpainted production animation cel from the cartoon series that aired from 1987 - 1996. This cel is dated 1988-1989 and is likely from the second or third season of the series. The animation cel features Leonardo 'Leo' going head-to-head with Rocksteady in front of a lithography background of a factory interior. The cel has the official seal of Mirage Studios and MWS Inc. (Murakami, Wolf, Swenson). The animation cel is professionally framed behind glass in a blue metal frame with an acid free mat. This is a one-of-a-kind handpainted cel that was photographed and used in the actual production of the tv show.

This would make a great gift for the TMNT fan!

Please see photos for condition. There are some light scratches on the blue frame.

Dimensions:

16.25 x 12.25 x 1 inches
