Black Hole 3 3/4 Figures

The 3 3/4 ” line was extremely well made, utilising figure knowledge
gleaned from Takara and
Mego Micronauts. Mego made the Black Hole figures above industry
standard with amazing articulation.

The Human Good Guys from Black Hole were peg warmers

Dr Kate, Dr. Durant, Charlie Pizer, Dan Holland, and Harry Booth.

It's interesting to note that the Sentry has hands derived from the Micronauts Time Traveller figures

Sentry, Maximillion, and Reinhardt; the baddies.

The Humanoid is one of the toughest Mego figures to find MOC

The Big 3: Old B.O.B, S.T.A.R and the Humanoid

The “Big Three” were blown away in Canadian Sears and K-Mart outlets
for $1.00, probably the three best figures in the series. It’s a
shame Mego released them last.

The US Black Hole Cards are very similiar to the Canadian Grand Toys cards, the most notable difference is the language and the lack of the characters name on the Canadian Card

The GIG Italy cards are much more dynamic and attractive than their US counterparts

Old B.O.B, STAR and Captain Holland are on Canadian Grand Toys cards and are quite difficult to find. B.O.B and STAR were only available in Canada and Italy. Photos courtesy of Craig MacKillop.

In Italy, Gig repackaged the
Mego Buck Rogers Laser Scope and gave you a free Captain Holland.

Unproduced Black Hole Cygnus playset utilized the Vacuform styleplayset that Mego was doing in the late 70’s much like the Mego Buck Rogers Space Port and Mego Pocket Heroes Batcave. The Cygnus was also pitched as a vinyl playcase.
