Notes[]
- A character in The LEGO Movie named Benny has an identical appearance to Blue Classic Spaceman, except Benny's suit is scratched up and broken. He also has a cracked helmet and an excited turn-around face.
- In the early productions of the helmet in the 1980s, LEGO said that the helmet they made was too thin, and when the kids got the sets with the blue spaceman some of the helmets would crack. This is referenced in The LEGO Movie with Benny the Spaceman.
- Classic Spacemen were the first minifigures to have body printings, but they rubbed off easily. This is also referenced with Benny, since part of his printing seems to be rubbed off.
- The Blue Classic Spaceman has been reproduced the most out of any other Classic Space Minifigure.
- It was reproduced for the Vintage Minifigure Collections in 2009 and 2012
- It was reproduced for the 850423 Minifigure Presentation Boxes.
- Benny, (Who is based on this Minifigure), has been in several The LEGO Movie and The LEGO Movie 2 sets, such as 70816 Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP! and 70841 Benny's Space Squad (including an exclusive Pink astronaut named Lenny).
- The Blue Spaceman is also the only Classic Spaceman to get a Nanofigure.
- The Blue Classic Spaceman's helmet was reprinted for 71708 Gamer's Market.
