In The Lego Movie, the spaceman who loves spaceships is Benny.
Benny is a blue Lego space minifigure and one of the film’s Master Builders. His most recognizable trait is his intense enthusiasm for constructing spaceships; he repeatedly shouts variations of “Spaceship!” whenever he sees an opportunity to build one.
The character is designed as a loving tribute to classic Lego Space figures from the 1980s. His faded torso printing, blue uniform, and damaged helmet—with its broken chin strap—recreate the worn appearance of an older, heavily played-with minifigure. That visual damage is not an accident or a manufacturing flaw within the movie’s story; it is part of Benny’s nostalgic design.
Benny is voiced by Charlie Day, whose excitable delivery gives the character much of his comic energy. He is sometimes mistaken for a generic astronaut or for Buzz Lightyear, but those are descriptions or references rather than his name. Benny is a specific Lego character whose identity is tied to the vintage Space theme and his obsession with spaceships.
