Mego Black Hole toy line

Mego released their Black Hole toy line in 1979 with high hopes, but the movie was a disappointment, which also translated over to the toys. The Black Hole line featured a primary 3.75 inch series, and a 12 Inch series as well. The 3.75″ featured two waves of twelve total figures, while the 12 Inch line consisted of six figures. Several items were only made available overseas, such as three of the second wave figures, the Laserscope Fighter, and a series of 8 Inch magnetic figures.

Wave	Figure	Debut Year	Ave. Price Boxed	Ave. Price Loose	Accessories	Difficulty to find	Picture	Edit	Comment
Series 1	Captain Dan Holland	1979	£ 58.74	£ 18.36	None	Less Common – Appears less often		Edit	Captain Dan Holland was portrayed by Robert Forester in the Black Hole movie and was the commanding officer of the Palomino. It was great that Robert Forester was rewarded with his own action figure after a long resume of film work dating back to 1967.
Series 1	Charles Pizer	1979	£ 58.74	£ 18.36	None	Less Common – Appears less often		Edit	Charles Pizer was portrayed by Joseph Bottoms in the Black Hole movie and was the first officer of the Palomino. Pizer was Captain Holland’s right hand man, but the Pizer 3.75 inch figure looks pretty similar to the Dan Holland figure, but with a slightly different hair color.
Series 1	Dr. Alex Durant	1979	£ 58.74	£ 18.36	None	Less Common – Appears less often		Edit	Dr. Alex Durant was portrayed by Anthony Perkins in the Black Hole movie and acted as the Senior Science Officer aboard the ship. Who knew that we would one day have an Anthony (Norman Bates) Perkins action figure? The likeness of this figure was actually pretty decent.
Series 1	Dr. Hans Reinhardt	1979	£ 58.74	£ 18.36	None	Less Common – Appears less often		Edit	Dr. Hans Reinhardt was portrayed by Maximillian Schell in the Black Hole movie and was the commanding officer of the U.S.S Cygnus. Hans turned out to be the big bad guy in the movie as his scientific curiosity of black holes took over his good judgment.
Series 1	Dr. Kate McCrae	1979	£ 55.07	£ 14.69	None	Less Common – Appears less often		Edit	Dr. Kate McCrae was portrayed by Yvette Mimieux in the Black Hole movie and acted as a Scientist aboard the ship. Kate shared an ESP link to V.I.N Cent in the movie which is how they would communicate. McCrae is the lone female figure in the Black Hole line.
Series 1	Harry Booth	1979	£ 55.07	£ 14.69	None	Less Common – Appears less often		Edit	Harry Booth was portrayed by Ernest Borgnine in the Black Hole movie and acted as the ship’s journalist? Who knew that we would one day get an Ernest Borgnine action figure! That being said….besides the mustache it would be very difficult to actually tell it was Ernest Borgnine.
Series 1	Maximillian	1979	£ 174.40	£ 64.25	Figure Stand	Moderate Difficulty – Takes some patience		Edit	The Maximillian figure is one of the coolest figures in the black hole action figure line mostly because he was the hovering death robot from the movie and who doesn’t want that figure! Maximillian comes with a nice figure base to display him on. This figure is not considered rare, but can get a tad pricey due to the popularity of the character.
Series 1	V.I.N Cent	1979	£ 192.75	£ 64.25	Figure Stand	Moderate Difficulty – Takes some patience		Edit	V.I.N Cent was voiced by the iconic Roddy McDowell in the Black Hole and turned out to be a small flying version of C-3PO in the movie. V.I.N Cent comes with a nice figure base to display him on. This figure is not considered rare but can get a tad pricey due to the popularity of the character.
Series 2	Humanoid	1980	£ 1285.03	£ 514.01	Cloth Cloak	Rare – Rarely seen in any condition		Edit	The Humanoids were the worker bees on the Cygnus ship. There were multiples of them, and it was later found they were actually the zombie like original members of the crew. This is a great looking figure but unfortunately, it was only released in Italy and Canada for some reason. That being said, this is considered a rather rare figure and does not come up for sale very often on the secondary market.
Series 2	Old B.O.B	1980	£ 954.59	£ 367.15	Figure Stand	Hard to Find – Occasionally listed		Edit	Old B.O.B was voiced by the iconic Slim Pickens in the Black Hole. Similar to V.I.N Cent this is a cool looking figure but unfortunately it was only released in Italy and Canada for some reason. That being said this is considered a rather rare figure and does not come up for sale very often on the secondary market. Also, like V.I.N Cent, the figure comes with a stand for display purposes.
Series 2	Sentry	1980	£ 165.22	£ 64.25	Laser Pistol	Moderate Difficulty – Takes some patience		Edit	The Sentry figure was the only Series 2 figure to be released in the United States, as the other three were only released in Italy and Canada for some reason, This is a real shame because all of the Series 2 figures are super cool and probably the best figures in the series. That being said, this is considered a rather rare figure and is tough to find still carded.
Series 2	S.T.A.R	1980	£ 954.59	£ 367.15	Laser Pistol	Hard to Find – Occasionally listed		Edit	S.T.A.R was the elite sentry who acts as one of the commanders of the unit. It just so happens that he is also one of the top sharp shooters on the Cygnus. This is a cool looking figure but unfortunately, it was only released in Italy and Canada for some reason. That being said, this is considered a rather rare figure and does not come up for sale very often on the secondary market.
