I recently won an auction on Ebay for a bunch of Monopoly tokens. Among the tokens were some from a couple versions featuring comic book superheroes. With the help of a couple co-workers, we have identified all but 3 of the tokens. All of the tokens can be seen here. I need help identifying sh1, sh8 and sh12. Thanks for the help.
sh1 looks like Bishop
sh8 is hard to tell, but looks like Iron Man
sh12 I’m not familiar with Magneto, perhaps
I would say sh1 looks like Collossus to me.
I agree with Iron Man for sh8, mainly due to that helmet line.
No clue for sh12. Could be Magneto, could be Sinister, could be someone else.
That’s what I was thinking as well. Sh8 HAS to be Iron Man, and sh12 looks to be Mister Sinister. I mena, c’mon, that cape, colar, and HAIR? Who else could it be? (I orginally thought Dr. Strange, but a closer look makes me say Sinister.)
Ooh, a question I can partially answer because
sh1 is Cable, due to the ginormous shoulders and biceps, plus the metallic left arm. snerk
sh8 looks like Iron Man because of the mask.
sh12 I’m not sure. I can’t tell because of the fuzziness. If it’s got a diamond on the head, it’s Mr. Sinister – mainly because of the cape and the haircut.
sh8 doesn’t look like Iron Man to me because the face is recessed from the helmet.
sh12 looks like Doctor Strange to me. But it’s hard to tell without better detail on the chest and especially the throat. If it were Doctor Strange the amulet would be a dead giveaway.
My guesses (and I think that’s all I can call them, guesses.) are as follows:
sh1 - Cable
sh8 - Vision
sh12 - Dr. Strange
Hmm. Looking a comic versions of monopoly, there’s a Justise League, Spiderman, Batman, and Fantastic Four. None of the tokens from that game match your mystery tokens. There’s also apparently a generic Marvel Monopoly game, but it was a short run and quickly discontinued. I can’t find any pictures of the tokens.
If that’s what you have, then they might be quite rare.
Found the Marvel one. It’s not from that either.
I don’t think you have Monopoly tokens at all. My guess is that they’re from a Citadel or other miniatures line. Do they have a Hasbro imprint on the bottom, or anything else that clearly marks them as Monopoly?
I don’t think 12 is Dr. Strange. Doesn’t look right.
sh1 is definitely Cable, and I’d guess sh12 is Mister Sinister.
sh8 is a puzzle. I don’t see a chest logo od any sort, that makes me question Iron Man as the ID, and it doesn’t have a cape like the Vision would. Colossus, maybe?
I found out who they all are. Through a comic book forum I found the guy that helped design some of the pieces. They are actually from 3 different versions of Monopoly, 2 that have been released and one that is on the drawing table. The X-Man and unreleased versions are not Hasbro versions of Monopoly, they are from another company. Based on what I was told, they are:
sh1-Colossus, from the X-Man Monopoly.
sh2-Cyclops, X-Man.
sh3-Storm, X-Man.
sh4-Mystique, unreleased game.
sh5-Wolverine, from Spiderman Monopoly.
sh6-Magneto, unreleased game.
sh7-Apocalypse, unreleased game.
sh8-Ironman, unreleased game.
sh9-Captain America, Spiderman.
sh10-Thor, unreleased.
sh11-Wonder Woman, Spiderman.
sh12-Dr. Strange, unreleased.
sh13-Spiderman-Spiderman
Also, the guy in what I thought was a Zamboni with the hockey players is actually Professor Xavier from the X-Man version. The pieces from the unreleased game were given out at a number of toy shows last year, I have seen them a number of times on Ebay. There has been some confusion over sh12, it was designed from a later drawing of Dr. Strange, not from the one used in many comic books. Thanks for the help.
