I need a driver for my pickup this weekend.

Ugh, too cold up here in the North to figure out how to attach a picture from my phone. Use your imagination that this 🚗 is a picture of a FP white racecar until I get to my computer in the morning and edit in the right photo.

Disappointed I didnt pick up this little brain dude when I saw him years ago

I came across these guys when doing a search. They look to be from Argentina. Very cool!

Not sure why, but there a few gimmicks that always hooked me- glow-in-the-dark stuff, metallic paint and translucent colored-plastic bodies. I was not into FP Adventure People but i would have been into this guy.

I had the alpha star 1 as a kid and played with it all the time. I really thought the plastic cable was cool, made him look weightless. What a cool, thoughtful gimmick.

Had a ton of those. And they pretty much all survived, except for Xray Man.

I just adore Adventure People, one of my all time favorite toy lines. But those x-Ray people look pretty creepy up close lol.

Aren't those Star Wars "prototypes" wonderful? (They are repros of the original prototypes.)

I would love if Funko or BBP would produce just one figure in the classic Adventure People pose, with the bent left arm.

Having no nostalgia for these (I really don't remember ever seeing them as a kid), I'm looking at these thinking that maybe Funko is getting some of their ReAction aesthetic from these, and not really Kenner 3.75" figures. The cartoony design seems to match somewhat.

I still think that the Alpha Probe was one of the best designed toys of my childhood. It was the last "toy" I remember wanting and when I opened it up on Christmas, it was one of the happiest memories I have of that holiday. Seriously, the playability was off the charts for a space-obsessed kid. The full shuttle, plus a capsule that was stored in the fuselage. The capsule could have the boosters from the back of the Alpha Probe attached to it. It came with a cable for giving the capsule, and the astronauts, a weightless effect. And it had sounds! 3 different ones. And Star Wars figures could fit into them (with a little coaxing and unnatural bending).

Loved the Adventure People line in general, but the Alpha Probe is definitely my favorite. Still have it at my parents' house. It's beat to heck and none of the buttons work, but man does it pull on the heartstrings every time I see it.

Man, the Adventure People line needs to come back.
