Enter the Nightbird, a classic episode of the classic series. Oh, how I wish I had the character models from this episode. Sadly, I've yet to come across them, but I do have many of the background models, featured here.
In a bit of an unfortunate parallel, the script that was in the binder of Ron Friedman material for this episode was also incomplete. There were quite a few scripts that were missing pages, as it turns out. We're only missing the last few pages, though. Some other scripts were missing vast swaths of pages.

I wanted to also take this opportunity to plug a related website, cartoonpaperwork.com. Hosted by my friend David Thornton, who was spearheading the collection of the Ron Friedman Joe material, it's dedicated to bringing together collectors of Sunbow paperwork. While I tend to focus on designs, he is more inclusive: scripts, storyboards, memos, all of that kind of stuff. I think it's a great idea, effectively doing what we the Transfandom collectively did for the Friedman material but on a larger scale. Check it out, and if you've got anything in your private collection that fits the bill, why not drop him or me a line and see if we can't arrange something.
EGADS! THAT WEBSITE IS AWESOME! O.o
ReplyDeleteGreat oogly-moogly... it's the motherload. The bird may not have surfaced (yet), but if your a G1 fan, your cup runeth over. I guess I'll have to console myself with- what, five classic scripts, some pretty sweet model-sheets and a very cool link to even more stuff. Life is hard.
ReplyDeleteSome awesome stuff your friend has. Interesting to see Robotix since its coming back at the end of this year / next year under a new company.
ReplyDeleteI was talking to the the original creator / designer of the line from Milton Bradley a month or two ago, boy were they not pleased with what Hasbro did to that line. But that is for another time
