Awesome stuff! I didn't realize there were so many V.I.N.CENTS.... I wonder where they all are??

From what I heard, one of the full-sized models is at the Disney Archives in Burbank (together with a complete Humanoid costume). The other actual-sized model had to be at Planet Hollywood (but I've forgotten where actually).

One of the miniatures were sold at Hollywood Auction #26 by PiH in 2006 and another one was featured at the Disney booth during the SDCC 2009 (together with a miniature of Old B.O.B. and a maquette of Maximillian).

Oh, by the way: The original, full-sized Max is also still around! Now THAT would be a prop you can be proud of.

WOW! Great posting, thanks for this.... we've touched on the Sentry's in another post, and there is a possibility of a run of replica castings from the helmet/chestplate - fingers crossed!

Still have three of the large Italian magnetic toys of this series. Maximillian, Black STAR and VINCENT. Pardon the dust!!!!

When I'm pleased with the result of my own Sentry helmet, I think we can do a small run of these...

I'll start a new thread when everything's ready.

Nice! They're quite rare these days...

I've also got some of the smaller 3 3/4" Mego figures...

The 1:1 V.I.N.CENT. at Planet Hollywood is in Flordia, Downtown Disney - I've seen it! We went to Disny on our Honeymoon 12 years ago. I have a photo of it somewhere I'll have to unearth.

Nice new Avatar Red Eye

Great! Please post it if you can find it...

These are great. I am glad I picked up the DVD by chance about 2 years ago. It has given me the chance to go back and watch movie in recent times. C.O.R.A. lives near Disney in FL, and I wouldn't doubt if he has a photo to share so I will check in with him.

Please do! I'm always interested in seeing something new...

That VINCent is no longer on display at Planet Hollywood at WDW- not sure where it went. I may have a picture somewhere I can dig up...

Great thread - Those Italian magnetics are cool - I never saw the sentry before......
Wish I still had my 3" Megos, had Vincent, Max, a few Sentrys w/ pistols, ..... sadly they were sold at a local flea market circa 1984 when anything that wasn't Star Wars was gotten rid of ... Yes, including my Galactica figures, including a few different lucifers.... Blasphemy, I know....

I'd definitely be interested in a Sentry helmet or two..... one maroon, and one black like S.T.A.R.
