Condition:
Used – Authentic vintage production cels with moderate handling wear. Some paint transfer, minor residue, and surface wrinkling are visible, especially on the cel with the pink-haired character. Layers are individually bagged and show signs of studio use. No major cracks or flaking observed. Please see photos for condition details.
Item Description:
This is a genuine hand-painted production cel setup from Macross 7, the fan-favorite 1994–1995 sequel series to the original Macross. This 3-layer cel set features a dynamic action sequence with key characters in motion, captured from episode production and marked as scene C-167. The setup includes individually painted layers showing a running pose and a reactive stance, typical of the high-energy storytelling Macross 7 is known for.
Each cel layer is painted on clear acetate with visible registration holes and comes with its own protective sheet. This is not a reproduction – it was used in the actual animation process and is part of anime production history.
