No it's true, no more bids. Even $9.99 is over-paying

I don't want to be a part of any penguin club that would have slym as a member :thumb:

I just bought a Shadowman original cover for $350 ... coincidentally, the same price paid for these past 2 penguins that weren't even created during the original valiant years ... :lol: Auction and messageboard hype at it's best!

I like the Penguins, the boards, and the original Valiant.

The penguins are cool and fun, but are they cooler than original art from the original valiant universe? Even a cover, for the same price? Ummmmmm the answer is no. These are probably worth no more than $150 in the secondary market. MY OPINION

MY OPINION
Ummmm...I think the answer is yes. My opinion is that the Rai penguin is certainly cooler then some of the original Valiant art.

If I had a bit more money I would like to have both but right now neither is in the budget.

Not sure how paying $350 for a Shadowman cover compares to the forum penguin. It really depends on which cover you bought. Was it pre-Unity, Unity, or at least a key issue? Not sure I would consider paying that much if the art was for a common issue.

Would I pay the current bid price or more for the thing? Maybe, if I was not in grad school. The VH-1 era had no toys making these little guys especially desirable—not to mention the limited run and being hand made by Sean Chen. Add to the fact that having one is sorta like a badge of honor around here, I wouldn’t be surprised if it sells for $400.

Apparently you’re not a toy collector. It’s amazing the price certain toys can sell for.

Why don’t you set up a poll asks something like:

For $350 would you buy
A. The #5 Shadowman Penguin
B. The original cover art for Shadowman #X
C. Ice cream

You may find the results interesting at least.
