He-Man and the Masters of the Universe/She-Ra: Princess of Power Production Cels (Filmation, c. 1980s).

The "barbarian" craze that swept through comic books in the 1970s designed more for teen and older readers got a couple of "kid-friendly" versions with these two characters, based on a toy line from Mattel; it was one of the most popular animated series of the 1980s. Here is a pair of original hand-painted, full-figure 12 field production cels. Prince Adam, aka He-Man has an approximate image size of 5.75" (the splashed water effect is also on the cel), while his sister Adora (She-Ra) is 7.25", not including her raised sword. Backgrounds on both are scene-appropriate prints, added for presentation purposes. Both cels include Filmation logo stamps; both are matted with opening sizes of 11" x 8.25", overall mat size 18" x 14". Condition is about Fine, with light handling wear.
