Standard yellow classic smiley face; features the specific 'The LEGO Movie' style printing with a slightly worn/chipped smile.

Legs
Standard blue legs without printing; attached to a unique semi-transparent blue LEGO Dimensions toy tag base.
Accessories
Includes a blue classic space helmet with a 'cracked' chin strap (molded that way to denote age) and a blue oxygen tank piece.
Color Scheme
Monochromatic bright blue with yellow face and metallic silver/red/gold accenting on the torso logo.
Printing Details
Pad printed; features 'weathered' effects on the chest logo to simulate a vintage figure from the 1980s.
Variants
Standard Benny (tlm057) has no base; this version (dim001) is identical but includes the electronic NFC toy tag.
Condition Notes
Prone to scratches on the NFC base top; the thin 'cracked' chin strap on the helmet is brittle and can snap if handled roughly.

Character Background
A 1980s-era spaceman from 'The LEGO Movie' who is obsessed with building 'SPACESHIPS!'; voiced by Charlie Day.
Design Notes
The mold for the helmet is intentionally designed with a pre-molded crack to honor the structural weakness of the original 1980s helmets.
Similar Minifigures
Classic Space Spaceman (Blue), Jenny, Lenny, Kenny, and other variants of Benny from The LEGO Movie 2 sets.
Collectibility
High for 'Dimensions' completionists and Classic Space fans; stable value as it represents a crossover of nostalgia and gaming.
History
Debuted during the 2015 launch of LEGO's 'Toys-to-Life' gaming project, bridging physical play with digital interaction.
Interesting Facts
Despite the cracked appearance, the helmet is structurally sound and one of the most requested mold designs in LEGO history.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on its original teal translucent base or alongside other LEGO Movie characters like Emmet and Wyldstyle.
Modification Potential
The head and torso are perfect for 'purist' MOCs of 80s-themed space dioramas; the NFC tag can be removed for standard play.
Overall Assessment
An iconic figure for both modern and retro fans; 8/10 for design accuracy and 10/10 for nostalgia value.
