Digimon Exclusives
One of the guests at ACen last month was anime director & VA Jeff Nimoy. Mr. Nimoy's more recent works include the dubs of Naruto, Zatch Bell, & BoBoBo-Bo-Bo-BoBo. He was also the voice of Wolfwood on Trigun. But most anime fans probably know him as the man in charge of Digimon, Digimon 02, & the Digimon Movie. From directing to writing to acting, the man did just about everything for those projects.
At an autograph session, I brought to him a Digimon Movie production folder that was released to the press when the movie was coming out back in 2000. It was never supposed to be released to the public, but I managed to find it on eBay some years back. Anyway, Mr. Nimoy was very impressed that I would have a such a thing as part of my collection, as well as my knowledge of his involvment in the series. Because of these, he offered to mail me some memorabillia that he had lying around his office. Of course I took him up on his kind offer. ^_^ Well earlier this week when I was checking the mail, I saw this:

I was excited, & opened it up to find the following contents:

It wasn't anything too grand, just a few things he had around like he said. But the thought & gesture was amazingly nice of him to do. Included was a sort of press release for the movie, which I scanned below:

& since I was scanning things, I decided to scan the contents of the production folder. Included were a few cell slides from the movie, which are the coolest part about the folder. Sadly they didn't come out too clear, but you get the idea:
