Pitch Black is a 2000 science fiction action / horror film co-written and directed by David Twohy. The film stars Vin Diesel, Radha Mitchell, Cole Hauser, and Keith David. Dangerous criminal Richard B. Riddick (Vin Diesel) is being transported to prison in a spacecraft. When the spaceship is damaged by comet debris and makes an emergency crash landing on an empty desert planet, Riddick escapes. However, when predatory alien creatures begin attacking the survivors, Riddick joins forces with the surviving crew and other passengers to develop a plan to escape the planet.

Pitch Black was shot on a modest budget of $23 million USD. Despite mixed reviews from critics, it was a sleeper hit, grossing over $53 million USD worldwide and developing its own cult following, particularly around the antihero Riddick, further confirming Vin Diesel's star power.


This is the recently released ART Figures AF-018 1/6th scale Boy Black 12-inch figure. The naming of the product is obviously a way to throw some people off their trail but we know Art Figures certainly got their inspiration from the character played by Vin Diesel in Pitch Black. The great thing about these 12-inch figures is that the manufacturer has studied the film and looked at the character in very fine detail and has produced a 1/6th scale version of the movie character with all his outfit / costume and accessories done as accurately as possible and I like that a lot.
