1980 Fisher Price Adventure People Catalog

I Loved these when I was a Kid. I had pretty much all the sets except for the space ones. They fit in well with my star wars and gi joe figures. Pretty much all throughout my toy playing years I had them. I still have some and my niece plays with them all the time. I tell you what those jeeps and vans took a beating from me and they NEVER broke and still look new to this day! Unlike todays toys they were built to last. The adventure people were a HUGE part of my childhood just as much as Star Wars and Gi joe. I loved going on my parents roof and throwing the parachute off of it! Great Post!

Anyone else still have any adventure people from their childhood? I love hearing these stories!

Yea, these vehicles did take a beating. We always tied strings to the boats and vans. After a good rain and there was water in the ditches, look out! I can remember running up and down the ditches pull my shark boat. The submarine and deep sea diver set made great bath time toys also.

I had the Helicopter at bottom right. It became a space fighter plane after I ripped the rotors off the top.

Yeah those vehicles were tough I'll have to look to see if I still have my Safari Jeep.

I had many sets of the Adventure People. I loved the sets that had the scuba divers, not just with the zodiac style boat, but all the sets having to do with scuba. I also had the Trail blazer set with the jeep and canoe. Many hrs of fun back then.

Did the space stuff come out in the 80s? Never had the space sets. Thought they were cool, but I think I was done with toys by the time the space stuff came out.

Where did you guys play with your Adventure People? Pool, woods, Streams, beach, where were your adventures?

The Space sets came out in the 1980 I never had them just the X-Ray woman.We used to play in a couple places mostly mine or my friends back yard or ClayHill which was behind a building across from my backyard.There was a huge piece of stone we used for a mountain climbing rock there.

Cool, love to hear the stories and adventures. I thought the Space line came out in the 80s, because I never had them. My toy playing days were over by the time 1980 hit.

[Red Hulk]

Some of my favorite sets were the Dune Buster,Motorcycle and Kyak .I would have liked the 4X4 set with the Bandit figure too but I was little old for toys by then same with the Alpha Probe.

I had the Ambulance and the divers with the raft.I used to use the milkbox on my grandmas front porch for my fire station.

Even though I was way into Adventure People circa 1980, I never had a really strong interest in the space toys, I was still very much into the scuba/water sets and car/van sets. Then again I was one of those weird nerdy kids who thought the TV Van playset was just the coolest thing ever, lol. But now as an adult collector I am really intrigued with the space themed toys they made. That photo of the giant display makes my head spin, I adore Fisher Price toys.

I was just getting out of them, and other toys then. I became a teenager.
