For sellers, that single-set exclusivity is what keeps the price above the Adventurers theme average of $8.33. As a vintage piece, condition matters a lot. Figures with tight joints and no yellowing will fetch the upper end of the price range.
The LEGO Emperor Chang Wu with Cape (adv048) is worth $21.08 used and $28.55 new/sealed on average, based on BrickLink sales data from the last 6 months. Prices range from $11.71 to $31.68 depending on condition. This is above the Adventurers theme average of $8.33. Completeness (all accessories included) and print condition are the biggest factors affecting price.
Emperor Chang Wu with Cape appears in 1 set: Dragon Fortress (7419-1, ~$671.71). Since it was only in one set, it can't be sourced elsewhere. That scarcity is reflected in the price.
Look for the BrickLink ID adv048. It's the definitive identifier for this figure. Emperor Chang Wu with Cape is made up of 4 parts (a standard minifigure assembly). The parts breakdown on this page shows each component with colors. If you have a loose figure and aren't sure what it is, the brick'em scanner can identify it from a photo in a few seconds.
List it individually on BrickLink with the ID adv048. Buyers search by part number and will find it. Include clear photos showing condition. At $21.08, it's worth the time to list separately rather than bundling. If you have several Adventurers figures, listing them all at once saves on the per-item effort.
At $21.08 average, yes. Buyers at this price point expect a complete figure with all accessories, no major scratches on printed elements, and tight joints. For a figure from 2003, also check for yellowing on white or light gray parts. UV exposure over time causes discoloration that significantly impacts value. If you have the figure new/sealed (averaging $28.55), keep it protected. The premium for mint condition is significant.
