| 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.
figure reference: https://www.brothers-brick.com/2020/01/03/new-orange-spaceman-joins-the-classic-space-lego-minifigure-lineup-news/
The book is not out until October 13th in US, October 1st in UK through Amazon.

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.

His color his new, but his design is not. The last thing we want is someone
buying one and then giving someone negative feedback thinking it is fake because
of all the physical differences they find from their old Classic Space figures.
His (her?) torso will be
in orange

"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.

"Should" is just a terrible word when it comes these situations. There are a
lot of safeguards in place to prevent problems that shouldn't be problems,
but misunderstandings are very easy and not everyone is paying attention to details
and not everyone knows as much about Lego as you or I do.
isn't actually called reissue in his name, but there is stuff
in the name to clarify that it is not an 80s minifig even if someone didn't
know there wasn't a pink one in the 80s. But you will note in the inventory
that he contains and . That torso assembly is the
only pink Space torso assembly, but it is called reissue because of the way the
system works. The torso that it is built with is a reissue torso that comes
in pink and blue and white and yellow and black and green.

| Similarly ...
The third reissue white one:
contains a second reissue torso:
Of course, the reissue terms refer to the minifigure and the torso, respectively,
and the reissue level may be (and clearly is) different in come cases.

It would have been awsome if it would have been sp1999, but it’s too far away.
And sp099 is already in use 
Maybe they’ll make one with a yellow helmet when we’ll get near sp1999

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."

Sorry, I meant the picture on Brothers Brick, not the picture you posted at the
top of the thread. That orange spaceman has a classic mid-80s helmet, not the
newer helmet
