Figure ID
sp135
Theme
Classic Space / The LEGO Movie 2
Year Released
2019 (Released as part of The LEGO Movie 2 product wave)
Rarity
Uncommon. While not as rare as vintage 1980s astronauts, it only appeared in one low-cost set which has since been retired, making it a target for collectors completing the color spectrum.
Head
Yellow classic smiling face (two dot eyes and a curved smile), which is synonymous with early LEGO minifigures.
Torso
Pink torso with the Classic Space logo (gold planet with a red rocket orbiting it). The print utilizes the 'faded' or slightly distressed aesthetic matching Benny's look from the movie.
Legs
Solid pink unprinted legs matching the torso and helmet color.
Accessories
Pink classic space oxygen tanks and a pink classic space helmet (thin chin strap style). The figure is pictured holding a Light Bluish Gray megaphone piece.
Color Scheme
Bright Pink monochromatic body with yellow skin tone and metallic gold/red/white accents on the torso logo.
Printing Details
Pad-printed classic smile and a front-only torso logo. The printing quality is high-modern LEGO standard, but intentionally designed to look slightly worn to match the film's aesthetic.
Variants
This is the primary version named 'Lenny'. A similar pink astronaut appeared in 2023 (Series 24 CMF) but that version features a modern thick-strap helmet, a different face, and a space baby accessory.
Condition Notes
Common wear includes 'gold' fading on the torso logo and cracks in the thin chin strap of the helmet. The figure in the image shows slight dust and minor surface play-wear.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $9; New/Mint: $10 - $15. The value is driven by 'color completionist' collectors.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 70841 for $9.99 USD, which included four total astronauts.
Compatible Sets
Set 70841 (Benny's Space Squad).
Character Background
Named Lenny, this character is a member of Benny's crew in The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part. It serves as a tribute to fans who customized pink astronauts in the past.
Design Notes
The thin-strap helmet is a retro-style mold revived specifically for 'The LEGO Movie' sets to evoke 1970s/80s nostalgia.
Similar Minifigures
Benny (Blue), Jenny (White), Kenny (Yellow), and the Series 24 Space Creature (Pink).
Collectibility
High. Collection of all astronaut colors (Red, White, Blue, Yellow, Black, Green, Pink, Grey, Orange, Purple, Brown) is a major niche in the hobby.
History
Pink was never an official color in the 1978-1987 Classic Space era; this 2019 release was the first time LEGO officially produced this color for the line.
Interesting Facts
The name 'Lenny' is a play on the names of her squad mates: Benny, Jenny, and Kenny. All four names rhyme.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a rainbow lineup of all Classic Space colors on a light bluish gray baseplate to mimic a moon base.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'retro-futurism' MOCs. The pink tanks and helmet are highly sought after for creating custom futuristic civilians or fantasy knights.
Overall Assessment
A charming and essential piece for any Space collector. It bridges the gap between vintage 1980s design and modern LEGO cinematic history.
