It's too bad that Xemnu is a build-a-figure though and you can't just buy him outright. My Fin Fang Foom is a B-A-F too and I had to spend money on all these toys I didn't want in order to get Foom body parts. The BAF aspect does add a wrinkle to acquiring the figure, but if it weren't a BAF the size would likely be a lot less impressive. I bought my Fin Fang Foom off eBay already assembled to avoid the hassle of the individual toys, may do the same with Xemnu. bc and Jasonmorris1000000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mysterio Posted February 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2021 Got one more step closer on the JIM run last night on Comiclink. I haven't seen a copy of this book above about a 5.0/5.5, and I really like 6.0 for the run so I had held out. Wasn't expecting to go all the way up to an 8.0 (old label, no less) but I am not complaining.

I thought it was gorgeous when I saw it in the auction preview but wasn't sure I would be in the running at the end. Got blown out on that 8.5 #22 that was next to it (now that was a pretty book!). It was not cheap, but I think overall it was a good value all the same. bc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's lower mid grade, I'll say 3.5. Might be nicer. It has great colors and nicer pages.

Popular Post Jasonmorris1000000 Posted February 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) I've been a fan of muck monsters ever since I had my first Swamp Thing comic at age 8 by Bernie Wrightson. I used to think it was so funny when the Hulk would fight the Glob or Man-Thing and his fist would just go right through them with no effect.

Popular Post Frisco Larson Posted February 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2021 Got absolutely shellacked on C-Link last night, SO ... as a consolation prize and since it was on my watch list and had some recent attention drawn to it, I grabbed this one!

Jasonmorris1000000 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I just checked the census and the competitive sets for #75 and it looks like a lot of people need it. CGC considers it the last Atlas issue in the census bc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell ya, there's a 6.0 sitting on eBay for about a third the price I paid for this one, but the colors are washed out or I would've certainly bought that from a financial standpoint. Still a great book though, if the faded colors don't bother you. If the 9.0 comes up for sale, you and bc could do a Mad Max style thunderdome cage fight to see who gets it.
