Year Released
2010. Released during the second wave of the Space Police III line, which focused on a futuristic law enforcement chasing various alien criminals across the galaxy.
Rarity
Uncommon. This character was exclusive to a single mid-range set, making it harder to find than generic 'Police' figures but not as rare as convention exclusives.
Head
Yellow head with high-detail alien features: a single large blue eye, four smaller black eyes above it, whiskers, and two prominent sharp fangs. This head mold/print is unique to this character.
Torso
Black torso with magenta arms and black hands. Front print features detailed silver and grey armor plating, purple ribbed under-suit details, and a central purple circular emblem. Back is also printed with matching armor plating.
Legs
Black legs with complex printing on the front. Includes magenta ribbed details matching the torso, a silver utility belt with green lights/buttons, and mechanical wiring/panel details on the left leg.
Accessories
The figure is pictured with a brick-built ray gun consisting of a Light Bluish Gray specialized nozzle piece and a 1x1 Trans-Red round plate. In the original set, he also came with a gold crystal piece.
Color Scheme
A striking contrast of Black, Magenta (Bright Pink), and Yellow. Accents include Silver, Dark Purple, and Lime Green for the mechanical components.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of the 2010 era. Features multi-colored prints on the face, torso (front and back), and the front of the legs. The alignment on the belt and armor plating is generally very precise.
Variants
There are no official LEGO variants of this specific character 'Bleep'. However, he uses the same magenta arm color and similar aesthetic as other Space Police III villains like 'Snake'.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the magenta arms, which can show stress marks at the elbows. The yellow head print is durable, but look for 'silvering' or scratches on the large blue eye. Check for torso cracks at the sides.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $8.00 - $12.00 USD. New/Mint: $15.00 - $20.00 USD. Valuation fluctuates based on the condition of the leg printing which is easily scratched.
Price (New)
Originally released in set 5982 Smash 'n' Grab, which retailed for approximately $19.99 USD in 2010.
Compatible Sets
Set 5982: Smash 'n' Grab (Space Police 3, 2010).
Character Background
Bleep is a low-level alien criminal in the Space Police III universe. He is known for being a getaway driver or accomplice, specifically featured in the 'Smash 'n' Grab' set where he assists a larger alien (Crab) in a heist.
Design Notes
The use of the bright magenta for a 'villain' was a bold design choice for LEGO in 2010. The 'five-eye' print is a creative use of the standard minifigure head without requiring a specialized mold.
Similar Minifigures
Alien Snake (sp100), Kranxx (sp097), Squidman (sp094), and other Space Police III Bounty Hunters.
Collectibility
Moderately high for Space enthusiasts. Space Police III has a cult following for its diverse and bizarre alien designs. Bleep is a favorite because of his unique 'one-eye' main focus print.
History
Space Police III (2009-2010) was the first time LEGO used such vibrant colors like lime and magenta for space-themed villains, departing from the classic black/red or blue/silver tropes of the 80s/90s.
Interesting Facts
Despite having five eyes, the character's name 'Bleep' suggests a robotic or electronic nature, yet the fangs and whiskers imply a feline or mammalian biological origin.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a lineup of the 'Most Wanted' aliens from the SP3 series. Use a Trans-Light Blue display stand to mimic a tractor beam or prison cell.
Modification Potential
The head is frequently used for custom 'creature' builds. The magenta arms are useful for upgrading modern minifigures that lack arm detail.
Overall Assessment
A fantastic example of LEGO's 'wild' design era. Great printing, unique color palette, and a quirky face make this a standout mid-tier collectible for any Space fan.
