The Black Hole V.I.N.CENT. Robot 1:6 Scale Model Kit by Round 2 "A robot cannot have feelings. But if I did, I would be very proud to serve with you." – V.I.N.CENT., The Black Hole In 1979, Disney ventured into the darkness of deep space with The Black Hole—a bold science fiction epic that pushed the boundaries of visual effects and storytelling. At the heart of that journey stood V.I.N.CENT. (Vital Information Necessary CENTralized), the heroic robot whose courage, loyalty, and unexpected humanity made him more than a machine. This 1:6 scale model kit by Round 2 brings the iconic droid to life, allowing you to build a piece of cinematic history with your own hands. This is V.I.N.CENT. as he appeared aboard the USS Palomino—ready to face the mysteries of the black hole and prove that bravery knows no programming. Standing approximately 8.5 inches tall when complete, this detailed model kit captures every aspect of V.I.N.CENT.'s distinctive design—from his spherical red sensors to his articulated manipulator arms and hovering stance. The kit includes all parts necessary to assemble this beloved character, along with a display base that allows V.I.N.CENT. to float eternally, just as he did in the film. This is not a snap-together toy. This is a traditional model kit that requires paint and glue (sold separately), offering builders aged 10 and up the satisfaction of creating a museum-quality display piece through patience, skill, and dedication to craft. For collectors who remember Saturday mornings spent dreaming of space exploration, for model builders who appreciate the golden age of science fiction cinema, and for anyone who understands that the greatest heroes sometimes come in the smallest packages, V.I.N.CENT. awaits assembly. The black hole may have been the destination, but V.I.N.CENT. was the soul of the journey. Product Features Officially licensed The Black Hole model kit by Round 2 Features V.I.N.CENT.

Released in 1979 at the height of the post-Star Wars sci-fi boom, the film followed the crew of the USS Palomino as they discovered the long-lost USS Cygnus hovering at the edge of a massive black hole. There they encountered the brilliant but mad Dr. Hans Reinhardt and his army of faceless robot drones—along with two very different robots: the sinister Maximilian and the heroic V.I.N.CENT. The film explored themes of obsession, hubris, and the unknown, culminating in one of the most visually stunning and philosophically ambitious finales in Disney history. V.I.N.CENT., voiced by Roddy McDowall, provided both comic relief and genuine heroism, proving himself the most human character aboard the Palomino despite being entirely mechanical. The film's groundbreaking visual effects, including the first extensive use of computer graphics in a Disney film, and its darker tone marked a departure from traditional Disney fare, creating a cult classic that continues to fascinate science fiction fans decades later. Collector's Q&A Q: What skill level is required to build this V.I.N.CENT. model kit? A: This traditional model kit is recommended for ages 10 and up and requires moderate modeling skills. Unlike snap-together kits, this requires paint and glue (sold separately), making it ideal for builders who enjoy the hands-on process of model construction. The 1:6 scale and 8.5-inch height provide substantial detail without overwhelming complexity, making it accessible to intermediate builders while offering enough detail to satisfy experienced modelers. The kit includes all necessary parts and a display base, but achieving a screen-accurate finish requires patience, proper painting techniques, and careful assembly. For those new to model building, this represents an excellent introduction to the hobby through an iconic subject. Q: Does this kit include paint and glue, or must they be purchased separately? A: Paint and glue are not included and must be purchased separately. This follows traditional model kit conventions, allowing builders to choose their preferred adhesives and paint brands for optimal results. For V.I.N.CENT., you'll want red paint for his distinctive sensor eyes, metallic colors for his body panels, and detail paints to capture the various panels and components that make him recognizable. Model cement or plastic glue works best for assembly. This approach gives experienced builders complete control over the final appearance while allowing newcomers to learn proper modeling techniques. Round 2 provides detailed instructions to guide the assembly process. Q: Does GoFigment offer combined shipping if I want to purchase multiple model kits? A: Yes. At GoFigment, we understand that model builders often work on multiple projects simultaneously, and collectors frequently seek to build complete collections from beloved franchises. We offer combined shipping on all orders, allowing you to expand your model kit library while maximizing value.
