Very unusual that I actually own something that gets hot. I think I tried to sell the lot like 10 years ago and crickets. I owned at least 12 because koch had them in quantity and I won auction after auction at the $9.99 opening bid. All 9.0 - 9.4. Can't say I have any 9.6 - 9.8 away at least.

I swear I remember hearing that prices were kept down because there was a large supply of high grade copies due to a warehouse find. Koch had zillions of them, but he sold them off over the years. It is a 70s marvel. It doesn't need to be a warehouse find to be plentiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shang Chi And as I posted on the Shang-Chi movie thread, this is way long overdue and an absolute no-brainer for Marvel to make a movie based upon this easily adaptable character. Especially if they are thinking of ethnicity after both the box office and critical success of the Black panther movie earlier this year. After all, there is a huge Asian population out there and China is rapidly becoming the dominant global market out there, even in terms of the movies now. As a further example of this, just take a look at the blow out numbers for the Aquaman movie which was by far the top grossing movie this past weekend with an astounding $94M in just one market. This 3-day opening in China topped the entire run for the Wonder Woman movie over its entire span in China. Looks like DC is going to have a unexpected surprising winner on their hands here.

It was reported in the Movies thread that China thought this "son of Foo-Man-Choo" was racist.... so I don't know if they'll be down for it, I'll try to post a link in a sec...

Grib Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I thought Marvel dropped the Fu Manchu aspect of the character and made Fu Manchu one of many alias that his father had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but that doesn't mean much today when the last issue came out over 35 years ago. Well, my bet is that if Shang-Chi MOKF gets the official go ahead for film production, you will certainly be seeing the comic book series going forward.

What footage? OK, I haven't found any footage, but I did find a description of these: giant sand creature, creature made out of fire and a water giant. Sounds like it could be Sandman and Hydro-Man. Still not sure about fire creature. It could be Molten Man, but he doesn't control fire. His body is just always on fire. The Elementals of Doom members are literally called Air, Earth, Fire and Water. Same abilities as the original Elementals. Neither have a "sand" character.

Double the one that ended on 11/29. The 9.6 almost tripled what the one from 11/29 went for...450 vs 1147. And last night's 9.4 was about the same as the 11/29 9.6! Movies make it happen. At least for a while. And for those of you who were unfortunate enough to have missed your chance on the above 2 copies, well this then is your lucky day: And to think, this CGC 9.6 graded copy from the CL Exchange can be ALL YOURS for the piddly and measly sum of only $1,800. Now, that's another classic case of over bloated movie hype if I ever saw one. Edited December 12, 2018 by lou_fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, I think the team will be called The Elementals, in fact that's been alluded to. But it will feature more known characters. Well, at least one possibly, Sandman. The water character I can't think of anyone who would be somewhat well known. Edited December 12, 2018 by ygogolak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
