- Mego released The Black Hole action figures, based on the Disney movie, in two series in 1979 and 1980
- The common first series included Holland, Durant, Reinhart, Booth, McCrae, Maximillian, Pizer, and V.I.N.Cent
- The second series consisted of Humanoid, Old B.O.B., S.T.A.R., and Sentry
- Sentry is the only second-series figure released in the U.S. The others were released only in Canada and Italy, and are very scarce
- All but three of the Black Hole figures have typical rubber-band construction
- The six humans (Holland, Durant, Reinhart, Booth, McCrae, & Pizer) and the Humanoid all have 10 points of articulation: neck, shoulders, elbows, waist, hips, and knees
- S.T.A.R. and Sentry have 14 points of articulation: neck, shoulders, elbows, forearms, wrists, waist, hips, and knees
- The robots Maximillian, V.I.N.Cent, and Old B.O.B. are uniquely articulated, and are detailed on those figures' pages
- The only released accessory is the Italian Laserscope Fighter - Cygnus and Palomino were planned but not released
