GiG Protoypes of magnetic Black Hole robots

[AcroRay]

Heroesonline is offering what they say are protoypes of the GiG BLACK HOLE robots. I'm inclined to think they're authentic, in spite of all of the bootleg resin magnetic pieces coming out of Italy. These look like hardcopies of early sculpts. Here's their listing for Max:

MAXIMILLIAN - MEGO BLACK HOLE MAGNETIC FIGURE PROTOTYPE - eBay (item 360217976983 end time Jan-13-10 23:23:53 PST)

Anyone familiar with the story behind these?

Heroesonline is Mark Huckabone. Heroes West Coast is his store. He has lots of cool stuff...
I'm sure it's real.

Yeah Mark got these from a connected mego source, he has a pile of late 70s early 80s protos and toyfair stuff like the us carded magna heroes.

He owes me pics of these, time to text him.
