He is going to look like an old Classic Space figure, but be orange and have
a hollow stud head and a torso with inner ribs, so he'll be a reissue.
|
How can something that was never issued be reissued? Thant makes 0 sense. This
needs some better verbiage, and no I don't currently have any.
|
"Modern" works, at least for now. In 20 years it will not be so meaningful.
Worse still if they make new ones in future, they'd need a new term. Although
same with a reissued reissue. Maybe "issue 1" and "issue 2" would be better.
|
The orange space minifigure was never released in the past, so there should never
be any confusion of buyers being misled. I personally don't care if they
call it "reissue". The term modern is confusing as time goes on. I personally
think the term "Classic Space" refers to both original space theme and style
of the original space theme. The BL catalog will show that this figure was released
in 2020, so there should be no confusion.

I'm guessing the new thick chinstrap helmet too with the sprue mark on top.
|
Although the helmet in the OP's picture looks different, more like the "classic
thick chin strap" version
|
Ah, there's the explanation: "The orange is photoshopped from a red spaceman,
though."
|
Not a photoshop.

| It has come to my attention that Benny minifigures do not contain the wording
'Classic Space' which all the other versions of the classic space minifigure
do contain that. Some of the re-released classic space minifigures are from The
Lego Movie and hence their 'tlm' minifig prefix. Is there are reason
why Benny does not get the honor of having the 'Classic Space' description?
When searching for 'Classic Space' minifigures other town figures come
up with the classic space figure helmet or spaceman or whatnot on their shirt.
I guess what I am saying is that it would make it more uniform to have all of
them have the Classic Space designation in their title description so that they
can all be found since they are scattered across Space, The Lego Movie, and Town
categories.
Lastly, the orange Classic Space minifigure (not really sure it would be considered
reissue it being a new color) is coming out in October, and from looking into
other DK books, it looks like it will have the 'sp' prefix. I have the
figure on hand. Just let me know if you want me to take a photo of it for the
catalogue. I do not have the book.

The book is not out until October 13th in US, October 1st in UK through Amazon.

I'm not a fan of waiting, but I was waiting patiently for this topic to arise.
Fortunately, I was not required to wait long. 
I originally had them all categorized as figures. I would like to see, by the
way, all figures eventually categorized that way whether they are animal or human
figures. It would solve problems.
Then I moved most to animals based on the new sorting criteria. I discovered
that the new criteria didn't help too terribly much. Or, to put it differently,
they didn't assist as much as I would've hoped.
To answer your question, the ones I left as figures were those that had seemed
to play some kind of role in the series as characters, especially with speaking
parts. My selection might not have been perfect, I'll admit. We can move
animals to figures or figures to animals as deemed necessary.
| | A Monty Mole for example seems very much like an animal to me because it is a
mole and not sentient in any way
|
I was definitely undecided about Monty Mole. It was a tough one. But this was
a playable character in at least four Mario games. In one game a Monty Mole
was an ally to the main characters. In another game a Monty Mole operated a
tank and in a different game a three-barreled cannon.
|
Oh no, what a mess. I know they do not fit the classic definition of a minifigure
anyway, but for the sake of a lack of a better category (fictional character
or something like that) I would just keep them all under the minifigure. For
example Mario Bob-omb is not an animal in any shape or form. It's a fictional
character. Bombs with feet are not land animals.
After all there are many minifigures from Ninjago that are snakelike and are
included in the minifigure category. Keeping all of these characters together
will just make for an easier chore in finding and purchasing them.

Thanks. I missed this thread. Glad to hear that the admin team is already on
top of this. I also agree that the images should be official images.
