I threw this one together a while back, but haven't bothered to take pics until now.

There aren't many custom figures one can do from The Black Hole that weren't already made by MEGO back in '79 and '80, but I thought of one!

Even fans of the movie may not remember this one; this is the Humanoid pilot of the probe ship that returns from the black hole around the time of the dining room scene.

Nice work, I've always wanted to make this guy, he's like the only character not made.

That's pretty much true. The only other ideas I had were Reinhart in 'lab coat' costume and perhaps a more accurate Durant (the costume the figure has doesn't really resemble either of the characters two costume changes).

Then there's always Kate in here aluminum foil hat.

looks great , i'll have to making one myself. I have always wanted to do several scenes for the BH , like the one where they are running on the walkway above all the plants.

Very nice, I must confess, when I first saw the photo, I thought is was a custom Dr Who. It looks like a Raston Robot from the The five Doctors Story. Pity Mego never made a 3.75 figure line for Dr Who.
