If there is one line of toys that I am disappointed never happened it's got to be SPACEBALLS: THE ACTION FIGURES! I mean c'mon... they were in the actual movie... and nothing! We got nothing!
Then during the late 90s/early 00s craze of toy companies picking up licenses for all sorts of 80s films: Beetlejuice, Gremlins, Ghostbusters, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Bob & Doug McKenzie, etc., etc. etc. I thought for sure one of those franchises would have to be SPACEBALLS. And still we got bupkis.
I mean come on... couldn't they have at least been an FAO SHWARZ exclusive? See what I did there?

| Shit! I hate it when my SCHWARTZ gets twisted! |
And then with the announcement of an animated SPACEBALLS series... my hopes were once again to be risen... only to be dashed when I actually saw an episode of the show.

| Dear God... it was awful. |
That is, of course, unless they finally get around to making SPACEBALLS 3: THE SEARCH FOR SPACEBALLS 2. Rick Moranis would probably come out of retirement for that, right?

From what I've read in the past, George Lucas gave the okay for Mel Brooks to make this movie, as long as there was no merchandise to profit from the film.
I too would love to have Dark Helmet figure in my collection. I wouldn't be surprised if some customizer out there made one, or will make one in the future. Maybe you can commission someone to make the figures for you. :)
