Fix it guide - Black Hole V.i.n.cent by Mego
This poor guy had seen some action and was missing his guns and the decals on the front and back. So time for a bit of a restoration and repair.

You can see all the fixes that have gone on in how it looks now!
This was a great video. The Black Hole was my favorite SciFi movie when I was a kid. It doesn't hold up well to todays movies but it still has a special place in my heart and memory
Great job dude!

+John Wild This is a movie that would make a great re-make if done right!
The Mego Black Hole line was great! The Humanoid is a super-rare action figure!
Excellent !! I have a Vin-cent that needs some work. Thanks for the video !!
Great work as always
Another great job as always. Yes, it was a common problem with the guns breaking off. Same thing happened to my brothers.
brilliant as always time and patience awesome.
Nice Job!
Very cool! I'm going to have to try that on my childhood Vincent.

Have you noticed his.eyes resemble. The eyes used in " cars" ?.
this is another great toy line from the 70's, how awesome would a palomino vehicle been? did you ever collect any of the models, I had several of those, but I always wanted the large USS Cygnus model, and before I go what did you think of the opening music, I loved that dang music so much.
Thanks for the mention, mine has prompted me to start a new collection, the ones i can afford anyway.

It came from eBay. I've not bought any in a while, but I'm sure there are people still selling it there.
Cool. I think I had one of these as a kid. Alas it's was lost over time to the ever increasing entropy of the universe. It may as well be beyond the event horizon of a black hole. But it's likely lying somewhere under the layers of 40 years worth of dump material.
Yep I remember having Vincent and Maximillian.
Treasure!
went to the link for starwars collector be he has no items for sale in his shop..nice video anyways i still have both the same robots and stands also the model kits as well, just didnt really like the model space craft after i built it so that eventually got sent to the bin...
I wonder if there's any way to replace the claws, as I've been trying to get hold of this figure on ebay but the majority seem to have their claws crushed together.
It’s not the same as the original one but Disney Diamond Selects are rereleasing the Vincent and Bob set as well as the Maximilian figure in December this year.
Mostly those stickers from the early 80s and 90s they get worn or they turn yellow or if they have any type of lettering the lettering will start fading away especially if their toys from the early 70s and 80s
I never had this. It looks tough to display with that bottom
AWESOME! Any tips for strengthening his legs? One of the legs on mine just wont stay out. lol I played with him A LOT!

Was thinking that or just stuffing him with a something like kneaded eraser and keeping him in the standing position. Thanks for the help and the great videos!
that's cool ...wow I haven't seen one of these since I was a kid ...do you have any of the other figures??

+M.G.Villan I have about ten of them. None of the rare ones. Unfortunately.
It's a bummer the repro guy doesn't just sell his parts at a set price instead of putting them up for auction.
Both links dont work, Can you still get the decal and lasers? i have one in the same condition, looking to restore it.

Keep checking, he lists from time to time.

Loose, cheap at £600 I might get two.
