![]() These figures also featured a newly redesigned helmet with a transparent blue visor. They came in four colors (red, blue, yellow, and black) and had a new design with a zipper crossing from hip to shoulder with the colour above and white below. The new line kept the logo, aesthetic, and the white and blue color scheme used in the later years of "Classic" Space, but redesigned its minifigures. ![]() ![]() In 1987, Lego added "factions" to its space theme with the introduction of Blacktron and the new subtheme based on space exploration was given the name "Futuron". In 1983, the helmet with thicker chinstraps appeared, although they were still susceptible to breakage. The first helmets had thin chinstraps that would break easily. Two new colors of spacemen were introduced in blue and black uniforms. The first minifigures released in this theme in 1978 wore either a red or white spacesuit, with yellow spacemen debuting a year later.īy the mid-1980s, the color palette had shifted to predominantly white with a transparent blue theme, later used extensively in the Futuron theme. Sets were still simplistic and included mini figure pilots steering their spacecraft with steering wheels, and rocket engines as simple, transparent cones affixed to fence pieces, visor-less helmets, and often no in-flight pilot protection other than a spacesuit. In its earliest stages, Space sets consisted only of ships and basic wheeled vehicles, but as the number of science-fiction inspired designs grew, the basic pattern of ground-buggies, walking robots, spaceships, and bases developed. Designs began using stacked plates rather than stacked bricks in order to make sleeker spaceship. Grey and transparent green were used for ground crafts. Many of the early Space sets were primarily blue, grey, and white and included transparent yellow ships. The first Lego Space sets began an era of more complicated and less colorful designs with a heavy emphasis on space exploration.
