This may be rehashing an old topic, but has anyone ever thought about what each
color might mean for the old space mini-figs?  Here's my theory:

Yellow= Pilots- they always seemed to be the figs that came with spaceships

White= Technicians- they played the support role in most pictures involving
ships.

Blue= Scientists- They were the figs with the labs and the Uranium search
vehicle.

Red= Command- they came with the command base and command vehicles

Black= I can't really figure these guys out.  My thoughts were either gaurds,
GI, or high command. What I eventually came up with was that they represented
the ministry of internal mini-fig affairs which was like the secret service.
This is supported by the fact that the first space police were black mini-figs
because, obviously, the ministry felt that just having agents in the field was
not enough what with all that uranium going back and forth.


Have a look over at Fibblesnork and tell me what you think.

Hmmm... interesting.  As a kid I ranked them:
White = Technicians and also Medical personel
Red = Engineers
Yellow = Computer Systems Experts
Blue = Scientists
Black = Pilots/Commanders ('cause they looked the coolest)

Not so different.  And when Futuron came out.. each color of Futuron mini-fig
was the commander for each division (for example a red Futuron was chief
engineer)
After a while I started putting blue arms on black torsos and all that to mix
up the characters (this was 16 years ago.. oh Lord I'm old).

Anyway, thanks for the memory jog of days gone bye!!!

Well, if we are talking about Futuron, I think that red minifigs were only in some kind of base. That would make them scientists. --Tobias <SNIP> (...) mini-fig (...) mix (...) (25 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.space)
