Random minifig of the day: col093

@TheOtherMike:
I guess that depends on whether you mean the spacesuit or the astronaut, since the pink one was Lenny, and Jenny was the one in white.

Ooh. interested in the castle timeline.

So that's where Jay's mother went. Space!

I meant the fact that both of them have pink suits, because that's the more obvious connection. But hey, who's to say that Lenny isn't female, it could be short for Lenore or something like that. Or maybe she's Jenny from an alternate universe; it's common for alternate universes to have different tastes in fashion or different jobs.

This was one of the first LEGO things (minus a few BIONICLE sets) I bought second-hand off of eBay when I was going after early Collectible Minifigs (since my parents never bought many of the blind bags.) I've still got her on my shelf right now. Decorated Classic Spaceman who is also pink!? That was just too cool to pass up!

Ah, one of my face CMFs, even tops in the SPACE (gotta type/say like that) sub-theme...and for me, besides 'the look' (cue Roxette:)), the helmet design is still my fave...and I wish it would come back.:|...Oh, and that 'blaster':D Perfect to double as a 'BB Gun' if TLG decide to FINALLY MAKE A TED KORD 'BLUE BEETLE'...sorry, calming down...

I wonder how hard it is doing her make-up in zero gravity. The coloured lipstick might be easy enough but I believe mascara is supposed to be tricky under normal conditions

I purchased four of this minifigure because I loved it so much. That was when I thought getting four of a single minifigure was hugely indulgent.

*Looks across at his collection of 40 Dragonborn Paladins*

I was very confused when I found out that this figure's arms are a darker pink than the rest of her suit. I guessed they wanted to continue that printed side areas, but personally I would have preferred her to either have same color arms or to have more darker parts to better match.

One of my favourites from the earlier CMFs. I love how this minifig was complete with or without helmet, and the size of the hairpiece makes it feel like an equally viable option. And even though it was a gender-swapped retread of the S1 Spaceman, this fig just has enough of a unique design that it doesn't feel like it. I can picture her having her own solo adventures Buck Rogers style.

Sounds like the 'Lego Space: Building The Future' book

I have three of 8804-3 (because why wouldn't I) and two of several others (not counting all the duplicates I still own but plan to get rid of one way or the other), but that's just crazy. Although I will admit that 71047-4 is a nice figure, if I were going to get multiples of a D&D figure, it'd be 71047-3, because I always liked Tieflings.

So, it mostly stems from BDP designer SleeplessNight's description of 910029 Mountain Fortress, in which he said "The Black Falcon used to be a powerful baron of the Old Kingdom. After the Lion Knights took over the realm, the arrangement was made for Black Falcon's daughter, Kunegunde, to marry the king. However, when the baron fell in a joust, these plans came to naught and the king married another baroness. But Kunegunde decided to take matters in her own hands... A few years ago, together with her younger sister, who was a royal falconer, Kunegunde managed to covertly organize an abduction of the king when he was on a hunting trip. Now the king is being secretly held in a remote and inaccessible mountain fortress, while Kunegunde is readying for a winter campaign against the queen." This introduces a lot of world-building for both this set and 10305. We can assume that CAS568 is the Lion Knight Queen, ADP097 is the king (pretty substantial age difference, but whatever), ADP105 is Kunegunde, and I like to think that her sister is COL416. Anyway, the fateful joust in which Black Falcon fell was 10223. CAS506 is Black Falcon (hence why he uses the Black Falcon shield, but their blue-and-black color scheme hadn't been adopted yet), and CAS500 and CAS503 are the younger king and queen of the lion knights. That means Kingdoms takes place before the Lions and Falcons era. The Black Knights (not Black Falcons) might have been an earlier formation of the Black Falcons, who used stolen Lion Knight armor before making their own, and naming themselves after the fallen Black Falcon? I dunno. The Dragon Knights either came significantly before or significantly after the Falcon era, as neither Lion nor Falcon shares a set with the Dragons. They couldn't be too far off in era, though, as the Wolfpack has interacted with both the Black Knights and the Dragon Knights, so I'll assume the Dragon era followed the Falcon era. Majisto is undoubtedly immortal (or at least capable of a VERY long life), since he lived through the Kingdoms era (CAS473, perhaps a successor to CAS363?), Lion era (CAS569), and Dragon Knights era (CAS019), remaining relatively the same age. The Royal Knights MIGHT be related to the Lion Knights, but the only proof of this is the fact that they both have lion insignia, so who knows? Similarly, the Fright Knights seemingly have no enemies, and therefore likely take place in a much later era. The Green Dragons were the original enemies of the Kingdoms-era Lion Knights, and I assume Black Falcon was one of them, before his troops kinda became their own thing. Don't ask about Knight's Kingdom I, II, the 2013-2014 sets, or the Yellow Castle Knights. They have no known relation to the rest of history.

TL;DR, the progression is: Kingdoms era (Lions vs Green Dragons), the Falcon era (Lions vs Black Falcons), the Dragon era, and the Fright Knight era. Thank for reading.

Between the S1 Robot and the TS3 standard Claw Alien, I’ve got around 170 minifigs. Can’t remember which one is around 70 and which is around 100, though.

A blonde Galaxy Girl from Ghostwriter (1992).

Intergalactic Girl is easily my favorite CMF ever. She's Classic Space inspired, very detailed (check out the silver lipstick), and confidently tough. Some day, I'll build her a pink Galaxy Explorer derivative.

When 497 was RSotD, there was a link in the comments to a picture of several Galaxy Explorers built in different color schemes, including pink and white.
