    My Black Hole collection & A broken Humanoid

    This is what I've collected so far:










    The Old Bob is a Repro and the Humanoid in the back is also. The covered Humanoid is real (repro robe also on both). BUT he has a hand that is damaged:





    My question is what do I do about this hand. I've had a cast of original hand made. I could repair the hand or I could leave the hand as is. It appears that someone once decided to start take the arm off with a hacksaw and changed their mind. What is the consensus here? I could take and form the fingers pretty nicely from the cast I had made but I would rather ask you guys as experts. I'm not an expert collector.

    Nice stuff. I wonder where all this Black Hole love is coming from all of a sudden. There have been a few discussions about it over the past few days. ???

    In any case, if you are a Black Hole fan then you must listen to the Pod Stallions episode here. I think its the best episode of the podcast ever.
    If I had only spent a tenth of the time studying Physics that I spent learning Star Wars and Baseball trivia, I would have won the Nobel Prize.

      The Black Hole love is coming from me. I've posted twice about it in the last 2 days. I'll listen to the podcast right now. Thanks!

          Thanks. It's one of my favorite also. I only do Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica and The Black Hole.

            Anybody have an opinion if I should try to repair the hand on the Humanoid or not?

                I would leave it alone

                It would bug me having such a rare figure and knowing it was altered (even for better appearance)

                Find a sizeable toy gun and rubberband it to his hand to hide the fingers

                  Regarding the humanoid, I would agree, leave it alone. If you had a complete reproduction right arm, you could switch it out and leave the original with it, but otherwise I'd just leave it alone. You have more of a complete figure than I have, since I don't have one at all.

                    I do have a double laser gun like they used in the movie for this size. That could be cool. I also have a reproduction arm

                      I'd vote to leave it alone also.
