MEGO: How Many Black Hole Fans Are Present?

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.
 
Long overdue bump who's new here who's not who's collecting these in our days come and share , thanks
 
Anyone got any new info on the remake is it ever going to happen ?
And the new figures are they going to make sentrys and humanoids etc
 
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.
 
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.

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?

There are usually some really good Humanoid customs on ebay.

I've been thinking about buying one since I'll never be able to afford an actual Humanoid figure unless I won the Lotto.
 
A better humanoid custom is just a McCrae figure with a Luke Jedi cape, and some tinfoil over the face. The Charon figure is nothing like it.
 
Anyone know where I could pick up a reproduction old B.O.B. and humanoid from?

I used to see them on eBay from time to time but they seem to be gone.
 
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.

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. :)
 
I'm still interested in a reproduction O.L.D. Bob if anyone knows any for sale.

I have an original one, but looking for another one for display.
 
Here’s a couple photos of my graded and loose set… I really need to grab Pizer and VINCENT to complete my graded set. Cool that this thread is still around after all these years! :)
