Hard to believe this franchise is turning the big 40 next year, so I hope there's some recognition. Regardless, V.I.N.Cent's penny's worth of philosophy holds a lot water to this day.

If there is a remake, I hope they release retooled original characters in the 3 3/4" scale along with any new characters or sculpts! Like the Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones last few lines!

Yes I hope so to if they can try to stick to the original look as well and maybe go beyond the bla k hole and show what happens next
Recently spotted a couple of boxed gig walking vincents on eBay when looking for other things.
Loose, I thought might have been my old one, but a conversation with the owner seemed to suggest it wasn't
And a boxed one in France

Don't know if the owner of the first one is on here, but he seemed pretty knowledgable.

Dam the prices are crazy right now, like BSG I wish I picked up this stuff when it was ridiculously cheap.
Love this thread!
I had a sentry robot when the movie came out, and my brother had a Maximillian. Just started collecting these a few months ago. Always wanted a full set. Awhile ago I saw someone sell custom Humanoids on Ebay. Wish someone would do that again, though I considered using a Clash of the Titans Charon figure for now.
Magentic six inch STAR ( plus Diamond Select BOB plus Black Series Greedo)
Finally got the 3-3/4 inch MEGO STAR. The circle is (almost) complete, but a Humanoid is doubtful. Too pricey. I'm thinking of using some Clash of the Titans Charons for Humanoids. A little sculpting putty and silver paint?
The Humanoids still frequently pop up.
Yeah I remember seeing the custom/reproduction figures, but none have been listed for a while.
Mostly interested in an Old B.O.B. but would pick up a Humanoid as well.
These are my three magnetic Black Hole figures by the way.

I only have Maximillian. As a kid, I had VINCENT. I have no clue what happen to it.

A bit late to this party LOL
I love The Black Hole!
One of my top 5 favorite movies of all time.
As a kid I didn't even know these figures existed until a friend of mine got a couple. I ended up getting the Maximillian from him, as he was my favorite from the film. I played with that figure constantly.
Years later I got some nice and minty loose figures. Basically just the series 1 robots. V.I.N.Cent, Maximillian, and a few sentry robots.
It was great when you could pick these guys up for under $10 for basically brand new loose condition.
I also snagged the Bearbrik V.I.N.Cent and B.O.B. and a vintage Italian non-articulated hard rubber B.O.B. that scales well with the Mego figures. The company name escapes me at the moment.
After a bit more I decided that I really should try to get a complete set, since I love the movie so much.
I have a full loose set all in super great condition. I was so stoked when I got a S.T.A.R. and then even more so when I finally scored a B.O.B.
Unfortunately the Humanoid I have is a repro. A great repro, but just a repro.
I also managed to snag a MOC Maximillian with a great bubble and pristine card for under $100. That was around 2015 or so, I think.
I've since gotten the Diamond Select 7" scale Maximillian and V.I.N.Cent & B.O.B. packs. Also picked up the Super 7 Reaction figures they made a couple years ago. I was pleasantly surprised by their Maximillian even though he was way too bright of a red, and even though the V.I.N.Cent and B.O.B. are nice figures they are huge by comparison. Closer to 5" or 6" scale. Still, they were Black Hole figures, so I wasn't going to pass on them. I even picked up the Funko POP Maximillian and V.I.N.Cent figures. Don't collect POPs at all, but they were Black Hole characters so I was going to get them.
Back during the pandemic I used one of my stimulus checks to buy a repro of the Palomino prototype toy ship from the UK.
Got it from the same guy that I got my repro Humanoid from and Love it!
Also got an original 35mm theatrical trailer for the movie, a complete set of the original trading cards, and a trading card #74 (the year I was born) that is autographed by Robert Forster.
