Adventure People
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adventure People was a toy series introduced by Fisher-Price in 1975[1]. They were designed as an alternative to G.I. Joe and other, similarly themed action figures, and intended for children through and beyond preschool age. They featured "real life" heroes and adventurers such as park rangers, scuba divers, astronauts, and emergency workers. Production continued through 1985.
The Adventure People were similar to the Construx figures with jointed hips and shoulders, but unlike the Construx figures, their hands were configured in the "open/grasping" form, with the thumbs and index fingers in a "C" shape. They can be distinguished from imposter figurines by the "FISHER-PRICE TOYS" inscription cast on the inside of either the left or right leg [2].
