After the Star Wars explosion of the late 70’s, licensing dynamo\u00a0Mego wasn’t going to be bested again. They backed any sci-fi project\u00a0in the works, including Star Trek, Logans Run, Buck Rogers and Disney’s\u00a0the Black Hole.<\/p>\n

The film was nowhere near as popular Star Wars (though probably\u00a0just as expensive), but it left a pile of high quality merchandising\u00a0from Mego. It sold poorly and was ended abruptly, creating a number\u00a0of rarities.<\/p>\n

One of the toylines biggest failures was its reliance on the human\u00a0characters over the robots. Old B.O.B was easily more popular than\u00a0any human character, but he wasn’t in the first wave.<\/p>\n

Mike T1K Farence<\/strong> took all of the 12 Inch Figure pictures and he\u00a0lobbied to make this gallery happen.<\/p>\n
