There's a chance I may still have Mork somewhere, buried in my parents' attic, but I'm pretty sure the Egg ship was lost decades ago. I'd like to get replacements. Actually, I need 2 Morks - one needs to go in the Speeder with C-3PO!
Bonus Pics:
^ wait, they made this ornament?!
* runs to eBay *
^ I need a toy of this car for the Mork figure!

My Dad was part of the Hot-Rod circuit back in the mid eighties. I was just perusing some old car show programs at his house the other day and while I did not see a Morkmobile in the particular issues I was looking at I did see a Pac-Man car, a Sanford & Sons super modified tow truck, and a show car built for Bo Derrick for the movie '10'. Basically back in the day they would make a car (usually a Barris Kustom) to promote, well, anything and everything. There's a picture of me somewhere at my parent's house behind the wheel of K.I.T.T., and I also once met Twiki at a car show. The eighties were a mad decade in so many ways.
I also introduced Mork into my Star Wars universe.At first his eggship was used instead of the escape pod in The Land of the Jawas.Then he became a regular at the Creature Cantina.Then he began showing up at the Death Star.He always managed to make Darth Vader look like a fool and easily saved the day for the rebels.I totally enjoyed mashing up the toy lines of Star Wars, Micronauts,Buck Rogers,Flash Gordon and Battlestar Galactica.
