To add to my modern Adventure Team, I made a Safari Expedition inspired by the 1970s Adventure People set. The characters started out as Big Jim homages, but ended being stand alone figures with no ties to Jim. They still need a few touch-ups and finishing touches, but I like how they came out.

Awesome, I used to have that Fisher Price orange jeep when I was a kid, but never knew where it was from, till now. As always great work.

SO awesome...but please don't get started on modern Adventure People customs, I don't think I can handle that. AP was my favorite toy line when I was really young, right before the Kenner SW stuff came out. My brother and I had tons of them. I'd love more than anything a modern era-style AP line of toys.

Very nice. Is the jeep you used from the Animal Planet series at TRU?
