Hello, I have been a long time lurker here and only posted a few times but wanted to share my latest project with everyone. I set out to create an Adventure Team complete line in 3 3/4 scale. I wanted a few of the classics that I had as a kid as well as re-imagine the line as if I was in charge of my own toy company. I took many things into account and did a lot of planning trying to nail 3 basic questions. What would I want to give the kids and collectors to insure they would want to buy my product? What could I do to increase playability through out the entire line? How can we make kids want to buy action figures again and play with them over and over again?
Single carded figures for the line.

Next up are the accessory sets and mini rigs. My goal for this line is to bring more playability to the figures.

Another effort to add playability to the line involves playsets and storage crates that double as small rooms. Each one comes with it's own light you can mount on the ceiling. Also the flat bed with crane from the 6 wheel ATV can be mounted on the front of the crate.
Crate with lid and no windows. DSC_0001 by Luke Sprywalker, on Flickr Crate with lid and windows. DSC_0002 by Luke Sprywalker, on Flickr The crates can be purchased with a variety of environments to display and when you are done playing simply pack everything back in the crate for quick clean up.

Wild! I've thought of doing an AT character or three myself.

Next up are the vehicles for the line. Again with some accessories to increase play value. All of these will fit in our crates for storage and multiple crates can be stacked on top of each other to keep an orderly play area.

Love the crate idea...imagine that as the package with the AT logo.
Hasbro - please take notes.

We also want to offer Deluxe Vehicles for the serious collector at a slightly higher price point. You will get more features and play value for your money with these.
