Rarity
Uncommon but highly sought after. While widely available in a budget-friendly set, it is the only source for the pink classic-style astronaut.
Head
Classic yellow skin tone. Character name 'Lenny' with a wide, joyful laughing expression, closed eyes, and visible tongue. Shared with set 70841 character variants.
Torso
Pink torso with the vintage 'Classic Space' gold planet and red rocket logo. Plain pink back, pink arms, and pink hands. High-quality pad printing.
Legs
Standard pink legs and hips with no printing, maintaining the aesthetic of the 1970s/80s original space line.
Accessories
Typically includes a pink classic oxygen tank (back attachment) and a pink classic space helmet (thick chin strap version). The pictured figure is missing the air tanks.
Color Scheme
Monochromatic Bright Pink with gold and red accents for the logo and yellow for the head.
Printing Details
Simple aesthetic mimicking vintage figures. Zero back printing or leg printing, central chest logo only. Very high durability.
Variants
This specific pink version is part of 'Benny's Space Squad'. There are no other official pink variants, though it is often grouped with original 80s colors (Red, White, Blue, Yellow, Black).
Condition Notes
Prone to 'neck cracks' if the oxygen tank is removed/replaced often. The pink plastic can show bite marks or scratches more easily than darker colors.
Estimated Value
Used (Complete): $5-$8 USD; New: $10-$12 USD. Value is tied to the popularity of 'Space' rainbow collecting.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 70841 'Benny's Space Squad' for $9.99 USD, which included four astronauts.

Character Background
Named Lenny, she is a member of Benny's crew from The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, representing a expansion of colors for the 1980s Space aesthetic.
Design Notes
Uses the modern 'thicker' chin strap helmet mold to prevent the cracking issues common with original 1980s helmets.
Similar Minifigures
Classic Space Astronauts in Blue (Benny), White (Jenny), Yellow (Kenny), Red, Black, Green, Orange, Purple, and Grey.
Collectibility
High. Mandatory for 'Space Rainbow' collectors who aim to have every color of the classic astronaut.
History
Until 2019, pink was never an official color for this theme. Its release was a significant fan-service moment for adult fans (AFOLs).
Interesting Facts
The names Lenny, Jenny, and Kenny are all rhymes of Benny. This figure marked the first-ever pink air tank and helmet in LEGO history.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a lineup with the other 10+ colors of Classic Space astronauts or in a Moonbase MOC (My Own Creation).
Modification Potential
Excellent for swapping heads to create 'Classic' (non-smiling) pink astronauts using the vintage 'Smile' head 3626bp01.
Overall Assessment
A modern classic. It captures the nostalgia of 1978 while introducing a vibrant new color to a legendary lineup. Highly recommended for any collector.
