This little treasure was unearthed at Anime Lane for only $35, long, long ago. And I wishy-washed over it! (Yes, I was twit back then.) I wanted this cel and another one of a $60 Prince Endymion from the knees up. However, I waited too long and by the time I ordered someone had reserved both of the cels already. I could kick myself.

However, the person who originally ordered this cel never paid up. THANK YOU FLAKY PERSON! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! So I ended up with this little darling after all and I picked up my full-figure Pegasus at the same time. (And I am really kicking myself for not picking up other cels at the time. An OP cel of Chibi Usa & Pegasus for $65! Another Prince Endymion for $60! Neptune during her Deep Submerge for $20! Yeesh!)

And why am I so excited over this cel with the little figures of Usagi and Mamoru? Well, this might be a spoiler, but I'm certain anyone at all familiar with the Sailor Moon series must realize this will happen already-- this is from the engagement scene in episode 173, 'Wakare to Deai! Unmei no Hoshiboshi no Ryuuten'!

You can even see the ring in the cel! It's only a tiny white-ish line between Mamoru's fingers-- but still! The ring box is poking over Usagi's wrist and Usagi herself has this completely clueless look on her face. (Poor Usagi remaining clueless the entire time. )

*sighs happily* I'm much more of a 'scene collector' for cels then one who looks for primo close-ups or whatnot, so you can imagine how happy I am to have picked this up.

Once again, the colors aren't quite right in the scan.
