"Dark Helmet", the goofy bad guy from Spaceballs, was made using BrickForge pieces, electrical tape, Playmobil pieces, a custom torso decal, silver paint, black spraypaint, and chopped LEGO pieces.

One of my fav spoof movies of all time. Great job the best one ive ever seen .

I saw the name and immediately laughed... great depiction of the ultimate villain (loser) of all time.

There's only one man who would dare give me the raspberry! LONE STAR!

Hahaha, this one really made me laugh! Nice job on the helmet!

Very nice one morgan! I just recently saw this movie on tv so I remember very well this funny-looking over-sized helmet, and you really did a great job replicating it in a custom minifig. It's even nice to see the various stages of this customization.

Where is Colonel Sanders? We need him to comb the desert!

Wonderful work Morgan!

"No sir I didn't see you playing with you dolls again"

Awsome custom!! love it to bits.

and " I see your shwarts is as big as mine"

AWESOME just simply AWESOME 'Morgan19', one of the best customs I have ever seen !

Now, more Spaceballs......Dark Helmet: You have the ring, and I see your Schwartz is as big as mine. Now let's see how well you handle it.

May the schwartz be with you!

Holy crap that looks amazing!!! It really looks like dark helmet!!

Thanks, Morgan! You just made my day!

What's the matter, Colonel Sanders? Chicken?

This is the greatest thing i've seen.

Prepare for Ludicrous Speed! Great custom.

Amazing custom, morgan! "I always drink coffee when I watch radar..."

'Your helmet is so BIG!'

Lovely custom! Looks just like the movie.

very well done.

I always wanted to make one myself, will be impossible to beat yours.

Got my laugh of the day.

Nice work!

Oh WOW! This may be one of my favorite customs ever. The helmet is so detailed and clean.

Great job

Just an idea, maybe you should try to make him with the short legs. Would make his height more appropriate ...

I'd considered that at first but the shorter legs ultimately made the whole figure look too top-heavy, even for him. In the end I decided that the generally cartoon-ish proportions of a LEGO figure provided enough of that aspect on their own. ;)

Not that he is bad the way he is, but short legs would probably make him even more awesome. But that is not for me to decide.

Oh my God, it's Rick Moranis in mini-fig form! Great job Morgan19, he's perfect. Gosh, it's giving me flashbacks just looking at it. Kyaaahhhh!!!!

"Is There anybody Here who isn't an Ar****le?!"
