That's assuming re-entry is achieved using the historic method of falling until
the atmosphere is thick enough to support wings or parachutes. In fantastic
settings, ships could use some more-controlled method of descent.
Or have some protective energy shielding.

Actually, it's because LEGO people have really, really thick spacesuits.
They're actually normally proportioned people, it's just the thick suits
that make
them look that way. The thick helmet visor distorts their features into the
smileys you see now.
