I just ran across this line of action figures that I totally forgot about but played with a lot with my joes back when I was young.
Adventure people were always hostages or civilians with my joes. Anyone still collect these guys? |

Just looked them up. Totally forgot about these. I had a few. Wish hasbro would put out a line using joe construction. I would love some fully articulated hostages. Some scientists would be ideal. I'd love for some secret identity MU figs.

A modern-day Adventure People line would be pretty sweet. Sadly Mattel owns Fisher-Price, so given their 3.75" history, I wouldn't expect the figures to be any more articulated than the late 70's/early 80's versions....

I had a bunch of Adventure People. Used the vehicles and parts with Joes all the time.

I loved these as a kid. Still have pretty much all of them in storage too.

You can get modern equivilents at walmart.cabellas & Outdoor world. Mostly sports themed but they have some cool playset.
The orginal adventure people still hold up better than most toys that came out at that time. |

I try to pick them up when I see them, as I do with vintage FP Little People. I had one of the planes and the deep sea diver as a kid. I've managed to pick up the green 70's van and the black starship with alien. They are undervalued in my opinion. I'll trade for FP Adventure People or FP vintage Little People, if anybody has anything available.

Just like Star Wars figures I don't know any kids who grew up in the late 70s early 80s that didn't have at least a few of these sets. I had a bunch of these sets but unfortunately sold them off a few years back when I was funding my vintage Joe obsession. For complete sets in good condition they can fetch good money on ebay. Fisher Price has a similar line out now that are called imaginext. They are smaller in size but it's the same theme. Cool stuff.

Probably my favorite toy when I was young, before GI Joes.
I can still remember my motorcycle w/ sidecar. Also, the white and green pontoon boat.
