    Adventure People Discovery


    Got a great email from another Brian yesterday, this being the Brian who sells on Ebay as Ant-Toys, it seems he's had an amazing find of 70s toy history in these four original Fisher Price Adventure People Store Displays.

    The amazing thing about this is they're stocked with figures! A really rare and impressive sight.


    This action Play Sets one is calling to me, I wonder if my family would mind if I got this instead of paying my gas and grocery bill. Hmmmmmmmm, there must be a way to sell that concept to them...

    Check out Brian's awesome auctions here.

      Man, that is cool! I didn't think anyone even remembered the adventure people besides me. I've been looking around on ebay for the deep sea diver and X ray man. I think I might have to make a custom X-Ray Man. Soooo cool!

          That is so jaw droppingly cool. I was an Adventure People fanatic as a kid.

                the real question I want to ask is where the hell did he find these?

                    Wow that's awesome! I loved those figures and still do. I'd buy repros of them for my son...and I. Another great line of toys that I miss.

                        this is a line that i thought would be around forever, well made toys too. They should revamp this line.

                          I'm still looking for my Sea Explorer playset from when I was a kid so I can give it to my sons for bath-time.

                            What an awesome find!! I can't imagine seeing those in person. I can barely get over the pictures.
