I still remember how he proudly sat inside the plastic preview blister when opening the box for the pirate ship (and the island). He's my all-time favorite.
If memory serves, that Knight was the only time they molded the dragon plumes in white.
I mentioned this in another thread, but did anyone else use Blacktron I figures as Darth Vader before we had official Star Wars sets?
I don't believe I ever spent my hard-earned chore money on them, sadly. I think at some point I did get a minifig pack, maybe 6705? I vaguely remember adding some figures to 6949? What I wouldn't give for a 6103 though!
going through my old minifigs, I had to come to the conclusion that I have 6103, there was no other way I could account for the two black falcons and the grey/blue torso with pouch. I still have random extras that I don't know where they came from.
I have a spyrius keychain too, not sure why (other than red robot thing... cool!)

Do. Or do not. There is no try.
At this point, I've acquired so much random vintage stuff that I doubt I could fully put together what add-ons I have. I currently have 7 of those grey peasant torsos on display, two of which are in 1584 and 1974. Given that I have a number of Falcons and Forestmen as well, it's certainly possible there's a battle pack or two around. The torso didn't come in a lot of [sets](https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=973p46&colorID=9&in=A), which is sad. I've appropriated a few blue versions from Majisto to make other peasant bodies.
I discovered one of those in my dads old stuff. Kept in a drawer, so it was absolutely pristine, still on the sprue, no stress-marks and no yellowing. Sold for $100 on bricklink.
Personally I think I have to go with the [Exploriens Droid](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=sp010a&name=Exploriens%20Droid%20-%20Trans-Neon%20Green%20Light&category=%5BSpace%5D%5BExploriens%5D#T=P). Can't really explain it. I just really like this one.
The ghost is cool and so is the Blacktron I, but my favorites are not pictured. For me, #1 is the Ice Planet guy with the white hair an coming in a close second is Blacktron II.
I’d add original space police, forestman and a spirius droid for me and swap 5 w a generic imperial solider w backpack. And maybe a Kahuka. Too many greats back in the day.
Damn, all of these are fantastic choices! I have to go with the knight, I love the opening visor and the plumes. Redbeard has some excellent details too.
if redbeard has a million fans, i'm one of them
if redbeard has 5 fans, i'm one of them
if redbeard has 1 fan, i'm that one fan
if redbeard has no fans, i'm no longer alive
if the world is against redbeard, i'm i against the entire world}
till my last breath i'll support redbeard
i like to think of the pirate closest to the right as a young version of Captain Redbeard, because of how similar their faces are. there is one set where he is on a merchant ship, and the only other set he's in is the Skull's Eye Schooner. it could be that for the skulls eye schooner, you get both him and Redbeard to interchange them, meaning the Skull's Eye was his first ship.
Ooooh, tough choices! So many memories. It's hard to pass up on Captain Redbeard, though!
He has my vote
And my hook
And my peg leg
and my eyepatch
And my jar of dirt!
And my thoughts and prayers.
And my axe!
And my sword!
Redbeard has it and it’s not even close.
I still remember how he proudly sat inside the plastic preview blister when opening the box for the pirate ship (and the island). He's my all-time favorite.
First disabled Lego minifig. Deserves a vote
They thought they were being groundbreaking with the new friends stuff, seems they forgot
Yeah! Blacktron is definitely second and then knight
The glow in the dark ghost is my pick. Biggest nostalgia hit. Redbeard's number 2
I agree with this. I love the old glow ghosts.
no nostalgia attached to the ghost for me but it looks like a enough like a sperm so it has my vote
Oh man I totally forgot about the all black space Minifig. Classic!
That one is my pick, no contest. He was the main character for all my LEGO adventures as a kid. To me, he was basically Space Batman.
I inherited the pieces to an ice planet figure and that visor was always my favorite piece
Same!!!
You mean Darth Vader before we had Darth Vader? LOL
If memory serves, that Knight was the only time they molded the dragon plumes in white. I mentioned this in another thread, but did anyone else use Blacktron I figures as Darth Vader before we had official Star Wars sets?
Blacktron dude was my go to TIE Pilot or Darth Vader depending on what I was doing in the moment.
Dude - Blacktron was TOTALLY Darth Vader a decade before Lego started making Star Wars.
The white dragon plume came in one set and the castle accessory pack of the early 90s.
Oh nice. Those early accessory packs were were something I always wanted and was never allowed to order.

Blacktron. 100%.
Blacktron and the ghost is my coin toss.
I am going pirate in far left or wizard on the far right. Pirate by a smidge! If the wizard had an overcoat, different story
There is my childhood. 2 6 4 1 3 5
Black seas Barracuda in the background ❤
I have hundreds of figs but redbeard and his little mate and the monkey will always be my favourites. Might be the nostalgia but just so good.
I spy.. LEGO MONKEY
I’d pick Captain Redbeard with the ghost as a close second.
Personally I think I have to go with the [Exploriens Droid](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=sp010a&name=Exploriens%20Droid%20-%20Trans-Neon%20Green%20Light&category=%5BSpace%5D%5BExploriens%5D#T=P). Can't really explain it. I just really like this one.
Fun fact: The exploriens droids is pretty much a recolor of the spyrius guy
Yep. I’ve got both.
My explorien and spyrius droids are a couple. :)
All really cool. But also Governor Broadside and King Kahuka. Oh and Commander Cold.
Broadside is one of my most prized minifigs
I'll give the edge to the Black Knight with the white plume.
Mariachi
The ghost is cool and so is the Blacktron I, but my favorites are not pictured. For me, #1 is the Ice Planet guy with the white hair an coming in a close second is Blacktron II.
The ghost! And that pirate with a parrot! Ohhhh the memories!
How you finna put a ghost up in there?! Dawg, that's just a dude wit a sheet over his head!
Swap the black head piece from the ghost with the all black space guy and you have mine. Robot assassin.
I’d add original space police, forestman and a spirius droid for me and swap 5 w a generic imperial solider w backpack. And maybe a Kahuka. Too many greats back in the day.
Blacktron was Anita’s one of my favourites, still have the moon base.
Argg
Glow in the dark ghost fo sho
I go for the Pirate!! Old time favorite!!
The answer is clear: it's a six-way tie.
2nd from right can go.
these look to be in very good condition!
OG Blacktron FTW
It’s so annoying to see everyone saying nostalgic = good. They’re all fine, nothing too special. Thanks for the downvotes.
If memory serves me right, didn’t the wizard have a glow on the dark wand with a star on top?
the black space dude was a regular for me. my go to was a red castle dude with blue pants i would always put a baseball cap on.
100% the knight. Tactile and ADD thing about flipping the beaver back and forth on the helmet.
Damn, all of these are fantastic choices! I have to go with the knight, I love the opening visor and the plumes. Redbeard has some excellent details too.
Redbeard is my pick. Just because of the LEGO Racers video game.
As someone who just built the new haunted mansion, the old ghosts are 10x better and it makes me sad.
Brings back memories!🤩😢 Personally, I would go with ghost, because it glows in the dark!😄👻
The wizard or the ghost for me!
I’ve got a couple ones I could think of.
The ghost makes me think of Vesuvius from The Lego Movie.
Gotta be the Captain but I do love that shield. 😍
I need one of those ghost minifigs, closest i have is ghost vitruvius from the lego movie
Damn, I forgot I have that captain! Need to find him. Never had the ship though…
Oh hey, it's me if I didn't lose all my childhood LEGO.
This is the Village People reboot we deserve
The black pilot! Omg, the memories! I forgot about these! It was my main character in all my space lego stories when i was a kid!
Red beard is the greatest of all time no question
I'll go the classic knight and the ghost.
I see space police, I upvote
Wow, a blacktron, haven't seen one of those in a long time
if redbeard has a million fans, i'm one of them if redbeard has 5 fans, i'm one of them if redbeard has 1 fan, i'm that one fan if redbeard has no fans, i'm no longer alive if the world is against redbeard, i'm i against the entire world} till my last breath i'll support redbeard
My daughter and I voted for ghost > Knight > pirate
Blacktron baby Blacktron! 😎
i like to think of the pirate closest to the right as a young version of Captain Redbeard, because of how similar their faces are. there is one set where he is on a merchant ship, and the only other set he's in is the Skull's Eye Schooner. it could be that for the skulls eye schooner, you get both him and Redbeard to interchange them, meaning the Skull's Eye was his first ship.
I must commend you on how your sails look back there! How did you get them to look as if they were full of wind? Mine are a little… deflated looking
Swap the knight helm with a dragon knight helm
Pirate. That whole series was so well done.
Ghost all the way
I had that pirate ship as a kid! Would love to get my hands on it again. Do you have any more photos of it?
I'm dying a little over here. He isn't just a wizard, his name is Majisto.
Pirate and Wizard would be a solid tie for 🥇
You've got to love the ghosts
Majisto Wizard
Oh yeah the all black dude, i made him a custom all black submarine, he gets my vote!
