Good Blackstar cel from a pre-MotU classic that didn't quite catch on (but probably influenced Filmation's production of MotU). Filmation cels are usually the easiest to track down in the animation because they were meticulous about labeling each and every cel with the the production code for the show and episode. This cel is labeled "BS" (Blackstar) "1", which means that this cel is from BS 1. I can't find a list of production codes for Blackstar, but it is most likely either from the first or second episode (there is a note on the episode list that says the first scripted / aired episode was not the first produced - it is common to find that air date chronology and production order are not the same). So, I would look for this pose in episode 1 or 2 of Blackstar. Great cel!

Thanks for the info and the help! I did a quick scrub through a few episodes back when I acquired the cel, but didn't find anything. I'll check through again!
