      Cool acquisition! Definitely worth a really nice frame up job!
      sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

        That's awesome. I read my friend Josh's comic book adaptation a billion times when I was around 10.

            Anytime you can own a piece of a favourite film is special, that's a really cool example.

                Thanks everyone. It's been a while since something I bought has made me so happy. I'll post it up again after it's framed.

                  If you frame it and display it, be careful.
                  Animation cells deteriorate, and they can't handle light well. It's often the dark lines that start disappearing, and you're left with just colored segments.

                  Btw, really cool piece, he looks awesome!

                    Thanks for the heads up. It will be in my basement for sure, so the light sources can be controlled. I will remember to mention the need for uv protection to the framer.

                        I had a couple of animation frames, and I framed them and put them high on the living room wall, well out of direct sunlight, and still the black lines disappeared.
                        I guess it also depends on the process used to create them. Some may be more resilient than others.
                        They are fragile things, not intended to "live" this long, but then again, so are most toys, right?
                        It's a matter of handling them with care. Treat your "baby" well! (which I think will not be a problem...)
