1980 Fisher Price Adventure People Catalog




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.

Holy crap! My brother had that orange plane with the pilot! It was one of his favorite toys, and I'm sure he still has it stashed away somewhere.

Awesome. It goes without saying: if the Adventure People Daredevil Sport Van is a-rockin' -- don't come a-knockin'...

I had a ridiculous amount of Adventure People when I was a young tomboy. They got so much more playwear than my Barbies ever dreamed of. ^.^

Thanks for the nostalgia! <3
