The Black Hole figures - Rare 2nd series

[flipper]

Did the 2nd series of The Black Hole figures (e.g. Humanoid, Old Bob & STAR) reach the UK? I thought the figures were restricted to Italy & Canada but I have been told there were also a few other European countries.

Also, I know this has been discussed previously but what is the current value for the Humanoid figure (another discussion took place 2 years ago). I have seen a recent ebay listing with the figure MOC for $8,000 and loose for $900 (without boots).

As far as I have seen or heard, they were only released in Canada and Italy.

It is really tough to peg a number on the value of this guy, he is just to scarce and doesn't show up very often. I can only see the value increasing over the years, as it is only going to get harder to find one.

I have a question i really need help answering. I know the black hole figures came out on Italian and north American cards but which ones are rarer? Thanks.

I'd say the Italian cards were rarer - that's only my opinion as I've seen few of these.

I'm trying to keep track of the current values of the Black Hole figures - I've just seen STAR MOC sell for £200 and Old Bob for £220.

I spoke to an expert in Film & TV memorabilia at the weekend and he said you will be very lucky to find a Humanoid MOC these days.

From the 1st series the going rate seems to be from about £20 (for the human figures) up to around £100 (for Vincent or Maximilium).
