Mego The Black Hole Radio Controlled V.I.N.CENT. Prototype 01

In 1980 Mego had planned to issue a line of large size remote controlled robots that would be state of the art compared to any robot toy issued to that point. The first of these figures was to be V.I.N.CENT.. After spending a reported $100,000 for two working prototypes, it became apparent that the retail cost of such a toy would be too high for the general public and the line was cancelled. The 8" magnetic V.I.N.CENT. is shown for scale.
