Take Benny, for example, since Charlie Day’s character has been showcased in the latest poster in all his glorious spaceyness. When the first trailer released, he was introduced to us as "1980-something space guy," which puts this character in the mid-twenties to mid-thirties age range and suggests that, as a LEGO, he’d probably be showing a bit of wear and tear.
Sure enough, you can see little nicks and scratches around the front of his space helmet. The bottom’s a little bit bent, his eye’s are the tiniest bit faded around the edges and he’s got a couple scratches on the right side of his forehead. Benny’s clearly a LEGO that’s been around the toy box, outliving other more fleetingly faddish LEGO that have come and gone between 1980-something and now. Ok, in truth, I have no idea if there’s any kind of link between the characters of The LEGO Movie and played-with LEGO, in somewhat similar fashion to how the Toy Story characters are actual toys, self-aware and all.. Regardless, I like the slight datedness of Benny’s appearance, given his rather generic design, particularly by comparison to the more polished looking faces of Superman and Batman. Maybe it’s the fact that those characters are regularly updated in popular culture, whereas the "1980-something space guy" has one specific era to call his own. I’m probably overthinking this.
I just love the details, nicks, scratches and all. He strikes me as the perfect example of LEGO nostalgia. The new poster landed over on the LEGO Movie Facebook page, which has been pretty steadily updated and likely will continue to be, now that we’re coming up on the release of the film. As mentioned, Benny the space guy is voiced by the great Charlie Day, more often seen and heard in film and television (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Pacific Rim, Horrible Bosses). But he’s no novice at voice-work either, having voiced the role of Art in Monster’s University. You can catch his character Art in the second half of this clip: The recently released TV Spot gives us a goofy look at Benny, who thinks spaceships are awesome… So many facial expressions in just one quick snippet… The LEGO Movie arrives in theaters February 7.But, you can call me Benny!” — Benny's line when entering the game “Do you need me me to build a spaceship?” — Benny's second line when entering the game
Let's build a spaceship!” — Benny's third line when entering the game is one of the characters in . He appears in for the franchise. The original version of Benny came out in 1984, in set 6824 "Space Dart", thus him 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, even getting so excited, his vocabulary completely turns into yells of "SPACESHIP!" However, when times call for extended travel between worlds, his vast knowledge turns invaluable to those whom need it--and an undamaged spacesuit, too. Benny also has a sibling relationship to both Red Classic Spaceman and White Classic Spaceman.
Benny joins Emmet's team and helps them build a submarine to escape. Then him and the rest get saved by Emmet's Double-Decker Couch and Metalbeard comes back for them and the Master Builders team up to stop Lord Business from using the Kragle by building a spaceship to get inside. Him and Metalbeard sneak in the control room to disable the shield, but get captured by Bad Cop. After Emmet rescues them, Benny and the others go downstairs to the TV studio to get everybody's attention to stop Lord Business. After the announcement, Benny builds a spaceship to get to Bricksburg, but were stopped by the Micro Managers. Emmet returns to stop them and the team help him out and hold them off. After the battle, Benny celebrates with the others.. Benny shows up at the Octan Tower when Wyldstyle said that gravity is all wrong. Then he gets sucked into a vortex, after he said that he would have noticed something like that. It is possible that Benny may get captured, however, then return back to his world.
