Raphael, "Enter the Fly" Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) animation cel

From the second season Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Fred Wolf Films) episode "Enter the Fly." In this scene, Raphael is looking over his shoulder hoping to find Shredder. This is another great Raphael cel, and it shows a rare instance of him holding his sais in the traditional way, instead of holding them by the handles (as is the case in most other episodes). Another great thing about this cel is that it shows off more of that technique that was cut out of the frame for the actual episode.

This is a handpainted painted acetate cel layered over background print. In this case, the the supplied background is significantly different than the episode context, making it look like Raphael is standing near a tall brick wall, rather than a junkyard.

These cels were sold framed in mats and protective plastic sleeves at various toy and department stores throughout the early 1990s under the "Animation Art" label. This cel was scanned outside the sealed plastic sleeve, so the image clarity is clearer. Also attached is a screencap from the VUDU digital copy, showing the approximate cel in its final form at around the 19 minute, 05 second mark.
