- "Hello!"
- ―Benny in the trailer for The LEGO Movie
Benny, a.k.a. 1980-Something Space Guy, is a minifigure who is a supporting protagonist in The LEGO Movie. He is voiced by Charlie Day.
Description
Benny wears a cracked, bright blue space helmet. Benny's head is yellow, with black pupil-less eyes and a huge, open mouthed smile. He has a red tongue that is visible. Benny's torso is completely bright blue with the faded, classic space logo. He wears a bright blue jet pack as well. Benny's legs are completely bright blue. The cracked helmet may be because many of the classic spacemen's helmets got cracked in that place however, the logos didn't fade that much.
Background
Benny is said to be a 70s era spaceman despite being called "1980-something space guy" by Vitruvius. Since he is an old minifigure, he has a worn out appearance with his chest logo being partially erased and his helmet cracked at one spot. The cracked part on his helmet is said to cause oxygen to leak from his suit, which is alleged to affect his brain.
As a result, Benny holds an all-too-happy attitude and short-term attention span to everything but those involving spaceships. However, when times call for extended travel between worlds, his vast knowledge turns invaluable to those whom need it--and an undamaged spacesuit, too.
After the events of The LEGO Movie, it is revealed that Benny built 724 spaceships.
