Ha! I just realized that motorcycle set in in the top center of the photo! That single figure on the top right was a lumberjack looking guy and he was one of the ones I always picked to play with.

My friend had a ton of these. I had a motorcycle and sidecar set that was pretty cool, but thats it. I would just go over to his house, he seemed to have everything!

I had a few (the Frogman was my favorite) and always wanted that Alpha Probe.

I'm still trying to figure out how I missed out on this line. I have zero recollections of even seeing this stuff as a kid. It's really strange.

Another toyline that deserves a comeback.

The Adventure people was North America's first fully realized 3 3/4" action figure line and it's influence truly changed play for us 70s kids. Their clever combination of compelling adventure and well made sets made them a hit with kids since their inception in 1975.

By 1980, the line was starting to look to the stars in order to compete with lines such as Kenner's Star Wars (ironically one of the toy lines that copied the Adventure People) and their response was the very well remembered Alpha Probe among other toys.
