The Adventure People line was launched by Fisher Price in 1975. I had a few sets as a kid (still have my Safari Truck packed away somewhere). Since I built to homage the Safari Expedition in 2015, I figured I would keep the theme going with the Mountain Climbers (based on set 351).
As with all my previous Adventure People figures, I tried to keep the ''simple'' look and feel of the original figures. To do this, I use mostly 25th parts, but I’ve found that Rise of Cobra parts can also fit the bill in some cases.The trickiest part for Jan was to find parts to make the legs with shorts. I first tried Kwinn’s legs, but they looked massive on the tiny female frame. I decided to interpret the baroness’s legs differently and swapping the feet from high heels to flat boots helped a lot. I’m pretty happy with my solution for now, but I’m open to updating her legs if a better option comes along. Mountain Climbers - Red/Dick/Steve (He changed his names a few times. I'm going with Red) Head: Star Wars Kenobi Torso, upper arms: RoC Zartan Lower arms, hands: 25th Airborne Legs: RoC Ripcord Harness, backpack: Retaliation Kwinn Mountain Climbers - Jan Head, torso, arms: 25th Lady Jaye Legs: RoC Baroness Feet: RoC Neo Viper Backpack: Retaliation Kwinn Enjoy!
