Here's the upper part of the one page: and the lower part: And a couple toys that did make it into production: Clash of the Cosmic Robots: Dalek: .

Joe K. Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 . That wind-up walking V.I.N.Cent was produced: It's 3.5" tall. I really like the RF foot tall one.

robothut Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 That link tells a interesting story. I don't know that a toy based on a Disney movie would be in a Playboy mag. The remote looks to be a Sir Galaxy type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennetzel Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Wow. These would have been great. I am surprised they never came to be. The way Disney markets all their stuff you would think the market would be flooded witih all sorts of VINcent's...wind up, battery op, plus...you name it. But it's like the Black Hole was forgotten by Disney like it was by the audience. I was not a fan of the film...despite the cool robots, the movie was boring as heck. I do have the model kit of VINcent, but not of Max...still looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennetzel Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I never saw that before. Never knew they made one of these. That would have been nice to have. He was the best part of the movie despite him trying to cash in on the R2 popularity. A robot is a robot. Had I known he existed, this would have been one toy I would have begged for that Christmas.
