The Fisher-Price Adventure People were a line of toys produced from the mid 1970s to the early 1980s. The sets consisted of 3 1/2 inch high figures, vehicles, and equipment sold in boxes and on cards. The toys were designed for older children to use their imaginations and create their own adventures. The motto was "The Adventure People: Where you make up the stories!". There were over 50 sets produced including the carded figures, and many have become very collectible and highly sought after. There is no doubt that Adventure People collectors love the original boxes!

This page was created by a few dedicated members of the Fisher-Price Collectors Club who amongst them had just about every set in the original box! We thank them for taking the time to share their collections!

Below is a list of all the Adventure People sets, plus all the illustrated carded figures arranged by set number. The set numbers range from #303 to #399. There are variations and part substitutions that we don't mention since it's too time-consuming to get into that level of detail, but it should serve OK as a rough guide!

These Adventure People webpages are hosted on 2 different sites run by the Fisher-Price Collectors Club: on our official webpage www.fpclub.org and also on our sister site at www.fpadventuretoys.com.com.



1. Set #303: Rescue Truck
Years Made: 1975 to 1978 Number of Pieces: 5

Description: This 5-piece set includes: White truck with red bucket, green stretcher, green air pack, blue man with red fire hat with a green cross, blue woman with yellow hair. This is an older set but still easy to find the vehicle and figures. The truck has a red button that makes a whirling noise like a siren, but often it doesn't work.

Box: This set was sold in stores in at least 3 different types of boxes: a blue square box (earliest and very rare); a blue box with a clear front (pictured in photo); and the classic tan box. The 2 blue box versions say "Adventure Series".

Figure Names: blue man is Tom; blue woman is Nancy (names appear on the back of the tan box, plus in printed promotional ads).

2. Set #304: Safari
Years Made: 1975 to 1978 Number of Pieces: 19

Description: A huge set with many pieces! 4 figures include: man in tan clothes with a brown hat, brown hair and mustache; woman in yellow with brown hair; blond girl in green clothes; and boy in blue with brown hair and shoes. Parts include: safari jeep, safari trailer, brown bench seat, brown over-the-shoulder camera, dark gold cloth fence, yellow net, brown ladder, 2 white cages, red pop-up tent, gorilla, giraffe, lion, tiger and zebra. This set was produced in big numbers so it's not hard to find a majority of the bigger parts. The hard-to-find pieces include the camera, ladder, bench, fence and net.

Box: In stores, this set was sold in 2 different boxes that we know of: a blue box with a clear front; and the classic tan box with a clear front. The blue box is the earlier and rarer of the 2 boxes. Both sets had a styrofoam insert inside the box to hold the pieces.

Figure Names: The blue box makes no mention of names. The tan box lists the following: Tan man is Jim; green daughter is Jenny; and blue boy is Johnny. The yellow woman is just called "Mom".

Description: 4 piece set. 2 figures include: African-American male pilot in yellow suit with white helmet; male pilot with lighter skin in yellow suit and white helmet; white helicopter with 4 blades and a blue "grabber" on the bottom; small yellow raft. The earlier sets had both pilots wearing long sleeves; later sets had them both in short sleeves. The longer sleeve versions are harder to find.

The boxes include: the earliest blue square box (no clear window); the blue box with the clear front; the tan box with the clear front; and an illustrated box (that shows primarily sky and clouds) with a clear front. The square blue box is so rare that most collectors don't even know it exists. The illustrated box is very rare as well. The photo here shows the clear-front blue box and the tan box.

Figure Names: Jess (African-American pilot) and Roger (lighter-skinned pilot).

Figures include: man with tan skin wearing a white shirt, green pants, black boots and red hat; man with brown shirt, gray hair, tan pants and brown boots. The jeep could be of 2 variations: yellow-bodied jeep with orange seats and an orange undercarriage; or an orange-bodied jeep with yellow seats and a yellow undercarriage. The jeep also has a circular logo with a mallard duck and fish. The gray canoe could also have the circular logo on it - this variation is rather rare and some collectors go nuts for it! The tent color has at least 2 variations - we seen light blue or dark blue. Of the two variations of the jeep, neither seems more rare than the other. Overall collectors tend to really like this set, a nostalgic favorite!

Box: This set was sold in 2 different boxes: the classic tan color box, and an illustrated box.

Figure Names: The older man in the brown shirt and tan pants is Brad; the man in the red hat with the white shirt and green pants is Hawk. The collector universe generally accepts the premise that Hawk is native American.

10. Set #318: Daredevil Sport Van
Years Made: 1978 to 1982 Number of Pieces: 9 or 10

Description: A very popular set! Set has 2 figures, one blue/black motorcycle, one blue canoe, parachute with connected harness, bike rack, blue paddle, green van, yellow storage bag for parachute, and shag carpet. The figures include: man with bendable knees, red shirt, tan pants and blue helmet; man with yellow shirt, red helmet, and blue pants. At some point, Fisher-Price ran out of the man with the yellow shirt, so the figure from the #354 Skydiver set (man in all-white with blue stars and red helmet) was substituted in many later-produced sets. The shag carpet was only included in the earliest sets made; it was omitted later (the earlier tan box set mentions the carpet, but the later-made illustrated box does not). The bike rack is very hard to find. The blue motorcycle also ran out at some point and was substituted with the green "lightning" motorcycle from the #356 Cycle Racing Team. The green van is still very easy to find on Ebay.

Box: This set came in the classic tan box, then later in an illustrated box. The insert is made of styrofoam.

Figure Names: The red shirt man with the bent knees is Dean. The man with the yellow (or white) shirt is Bill.

The dune buggy came in 2 color variations: dark green bottom with light green seats; or a light green bottom with dark green seats. Neither seems more rare than the other. Also came with an orange gas can and a flag, which has the "FP" (Fisher-Price) logo in the 2-circle design on it. The gas can and especially the flag are hard to find.

Box: In stores, this set was sold in 2 different boxes: the classic tan version, and an illustrated one (both are in the photograph).

Figure Names: No name is listed on the backs of either the tan or illustrated boxes. (The figure is just called "He").

Years Made: 1980 to 1983 Number of Pieces: 6

Description: Set includes 6 pieces: 2 astronaut figures one male and one female; white tether; Alpha Probe space shuttle; second smaller spaceship called "Alpha Recon"; and gray engine piece that is detachable. The gray engine can attach to either the smaller spaceship or the larger Alpha Probe shuttle. The female figure could also have blond hair, but she is much rarer than the brunette version. The figures were only sold with this set. The tether is the same used in Firestar I. The shuttle takes a 9-volt battery and has 3 buttons that make various sounds which can be loud! Interestingly, the smaller ship has the same name (Alpha Recon) as a separate set made later (#360 Alpha Recon) which looks completely different. Guess Fisher-Price just loved the name!

Box: This set was sold in an illustrated box. The box differs from many previous sets as it is a solid box and has no cellophane (you can't see the toy inside the box). The box is black and shows a space scene.

Figure Names: No names are listed on the box.

Box: This set was sold only in an illustrated box. It came with 2 inserts. One insert was cardboard to hold the van; other was a plastic tray to hold the figures, gas cans and motorcycle.

Years Made: 1976 to 1981 Number of Pieces: 5

Description: Set contains 5 pieces: male in a green swimsuit with brown hair; female with blond hair wearing a green swimsuit; 2 orange scuba tanks; yellow/orange raft. As far as we know, there were never any variations in this set. The raft's molds were used by other toy makers other than Fisher-Price, so there are some look-alike rafts out there in different color schemes and sizes.

Box: This set was sold in 2 different packaging: the tan card, and also in an "Action Pack" illustrated box. Best as we can tell, the card was sold from 1976-1979, and the Action Pack box from 1980-1981, give or take.

22. Set #354: Daredevil Skydiver
Years Made: 1977 to 1981 Number of Pieces: 2

Description: Daredevil Skydiver is a 2-piece set that came with a parachute and one figure. The figure is a male in a white suit with blue stripes with stars on his arms and legs. He wears a red helmet and black shoes, rarely he could have blue shoes. This figure is often mistaken for Evel Knievel, which he sure isn't! The parachute has 3 panels - red, yellow and white. The white panel has blue stars and says "Fisher-Price Adventure People". There possibly is another version of the parachute with lighter blue stars, but not 100% sure of that. There were tons of these sets sold.

Box: This earlier sets were sold in a tan box; the later ones were sold in an illustrated box.

Figure Names: The box names him Bill, the same name as one of the figures in the #318 Daredevil Sport Van.

23. Set #355: White Water Kayak
Years Made: 1977 to 1981 Number of Pieces: 6

Description: Set contains 6 pieces: Male kayaker, red kayak, red paddle, blue buoy, green buoy, and white buoy. There were 2 different figures that could come with this set: a male kayaker in a lined vest with white pants; or a male kayaker with a smooth green shirt and bare legs. The smooth shirt/bare legs kayaker is far less common.

Box: This set was sold in 2 very different packages. The earlier sets were sold on the tan card, and later ones were sold in an illustrated "Action Pack" set. The kayaker with the white pants was sold in both card and box. The bare-legged kayaker was sold on the card but it's unknown whether he also came in the box; most likely he was made as an end-run production substitution for the carded sets around 1979.

Figure Names: The tan card lists his name as Chet. Regardless of which of the 2 versions of the man were used in the set, he's Chet. The illustrated box lists no name.

24. Set #356: Cycle Racing Team
Years Made: 1977 to 1983 Number of Pieces: 4

Description: Set contains 4 pieces: Male motorcycler with yellow helmet, orange shirt with white sleeves, black boots and legs that bend; male figure with yellow helmet, orange shirt, brown pants and black boots; a green motorcycle with either the number "356" on the front or a checkerboard; green sidecar that attaches to the motorcycle. This set is a favorite among Adventure People collectors, as they love the motorcycle! The motorcycle with "356" on the front is the older of the two versions. The orange shirt/brown pants figure is (in our opinion) the most common Adventure People figure made, since he came in this set as well as 2 versions of the individual cards.

Box: This set was sold in 2 different packaging: the tan card, and the "Action Pack" illustrated box. From what we can tell, the motorcycle with "356" on the front was sold on the tan card, and the motorcycle with the checkerboard/lightning design was sold in the Action Pack. The tan card was sold from around 1977 to 1979/1980; the boxed version was from around 1980 to 1983.

Figure Names: The tan card reveals their names: The motorcycle rider in orange with bendable knees is Dean; the man in orange with brown pants is Vince.

Years Made: 1980 to 1984 Number of Pieces: 3

Description: Firestar I is a 3-piece set which includes an android astronaut, white tether, and a one-seat spaceship. The spaceship could be either gray or black. The android's head is the same used on X-Ray Man, green with blueish-purple hair. (Maybe piloting Firestar 1 is X-Ray Man's side job?). It is very easy to find the figure and spaceship on Ebay; the tether is the hard piece to find!

Box: In stores, this set was sold in a black illustrated box with a space scene.

Figure Names: No name is listed for the figure.

Description: Alpha Recon is a 3-piece set which includes: one white astronaut figure with a man wearing a white hood (seen through the visor); an orange space vehicle; and one gray radar. It appears that Alpha Recon's exciting mission is to explore the surface of distant planets. Since this set was made in the last years of the Adventure People's production, this set in the box still pops up often on Ebay.

Box: Alpha Recon was sold as one of the "Action Pack" sets with an illustrated box. The box shows the landscape of a distant planet.

Figure Names: No name listed.

29. Set #366: Mystery Prototype Set (Never Made it to Production)
Years Made: Maybe Around 1982? (Just a guess!) Number of Pieces: ???

Description: We are including this set in this list just to drive Adventure People collectors insane. From what Fisher-Price collectors could piece together, Fisher-Price was going to make a set #366 but for some reason, it never made it into production. But one prototype figure was made for this theoretical set: man in white sleeves, yellow shirt and pants, black helmet with a gray visor. On his sleeve is the number 366, which is why collectors suspect that was the theoretical set he was created for. But what was the set going to be and why was it abandoned? No one knows. Some suspect set #366 would have been similar to the kit set Heuy Cobra helicopter, but that is just speculation. A few very lucky diehard Adventure People collectors own this very rare figure. He pretty much could only be bought from someone with ties to an employee of Fisher-Price from the time the prototype was produced.

Box: Since it is suspected this figure was a prototype, probably no box was ever made.

Figure Names: No name we know of!

30. Set #367: Turbo Hawk
Years Made: 1982 to 1984 Number of Pieces: 3 when assembled

Description: Turbo Hawk was a different type of Adventure People set: it came as a kit for kids to put together themselves. It came with many different parts which created a blue jet. It came with one figure: man in a white shirt and pants with a white helmet and black shoes. His face is completely covered by the helmet. This figure was unique to this set. The cockpit hatch is often missing. The set also came with a white stand which is usually missing (as it is in our photo!); collectors sometimes pay up just for this one piece. This set was one of four kit sets sold in the Adventure People line.

Box: This set was sold in an illustrated box. The box was solid; no clear plastic to see inside.

Figure Names: No name is listed.

Description: Set came as a kit that kids could put together themselves. When assembled, the set had a 2-piece spaceship with one astronaut and a white tether. The astronaut is wearing an orange space suit and his head can be seen through the face shield of his helmet. His head is the same as the blue diver from #323 Aero Marine Rescue Team, and also #384 Frogman. The tether is unique to this set, and different than the one sold in #325 Alpha Star and #357 Firestar I. The spaceship has 2 parts - a square base with a round hole that the smaller round ship can fit inside. This set was one of four kits sold in the Adventure People line.

Box: This set was sold in an illustrated box. The box was solid; no clear plastic to see inside.

Figure Names: No name is mentioned.

32. Set #369: Ground Shaker
Years Made: 1982 to 1984 Number of Pieces: 4 big pieces when assembled

Description: Set came as a kit that kids could put together themselves. When assembled, the set had a yellow "funny car" race car shell with a red undercarriage frame, a ladder piece that would hold up the frame, and one figure. The male figure has a large white helmet, black shirt and pants, and red gloves and boots. The man's face is not visible through the helmet. The ladder is hard to find for this set. (The engine for the car is missing in the photo). This set was one of four kit sets sold in the Adventure People line.

Box: This set was sold in an illustrated box; no clear plastic to see inside.

Figure Names: No name is mentioned.

33. Set #370: Trail Boss
Years Made: 1982 to 1984 Number of Pieces: 2 pieces when assembled

Description: This set came as a kit that kids could put together themselves. When assembled, the set had a brown 4x4 pickup truck and one male figure. The figure has a yellow shirt, blue pants, black boots, tan hat and dark hair with a beard. The figure was only sold with this set. The set came with a little triangular screw driver so kids could screw the pieces together. Often the tailgate is missing and the floodlights are frequently broken off, so finding a good one can be tricky! This set is one of four kit sets in the Adventure People line.

Box: This set was sold in an illustrated box. The box was solid; no clear plastic to see inside.

Figure Names: No name is mentioned.

34. Set #371: Opticon
Years Made: 1982 to 1984 Number of Pieces: 1

Description: One figure on a unique illustrated card. Opticon was only sold on this card and was never sold with a set. Opticon is a very unusual figure in the Adventure People line. He is an orange robot with long straight arms and legs, with a large red "eye" in his chest. He can open up and unfold to make him stand taller. His arms move up and down. Collectors love Opticon since well, he is just cool! Opticon was made at the end of the production line so it is a very rare figure to find! He usually sells very well.

Box: Illustrated card showing the robot Opticon preforming duties on his spaceship (along with another Opticon), which involve putting his "hands" into slots in the command panel.

Figure Names: The card lists the robot's name as Opticon.

35. Set #372: Supersonic Pilot
Years Made: 1982 to 1983 Number of Pieces: 1

Description: One figure on a unique illustrated card. Man in red helmet with white sleeves, blue shirt and pants, yellow visor and black shoes. Figure was almost exclusively sold on this card; but he rarely was used as a substitution in the #359 Land Speed Racer set (we seen him in Canadian versions of that toy). He is not a common figure to find.

Box: Illustrated card show the Supersonic Pilot in the cockpit of his supersonic jet. Another jet can be seen outside his window which resembles the Turbo Hawk jet. Exciting stuff!

Figure Names: The card just lists his name as Supersonic Pilot.

36. Set #373: Highway Trooper
Years Made: 1981 to 1983 Number of Pieces: 1

Description: One figure on a unique illustrated card. Policeman with a blue helmet, black shirt, gray pants with blue stripes, and black boots. Figure was only sold on this card; he never came in a set. Can be difficult to find one with the badge intact.

Box: Illustrated card shows the Highway Trooper riding his police motorcycle, with another policeman behind him. Sadly Fisher-Price never sold the figure with the police motorcycle as its own set! That would have been awesome!

Figure Names: The card just lists his name as Highway Trooper.

37. Set #374: Space Commander
Years Made: 1981 to 1983 Number of Pieces: 1

Description: One figure on a unique illustrated card. Man with white hair and beard in an all-red suit with gold accents. This figure was only sold on this card and never came in a set. He appears to be very wise and dignified as he commands his spaceship, exploring the uncharted areas of space. He is not a common figure to find.

Box: Illustrated card showing what we presume is the command bridge of a spaceship where the Space commander is in charge. Interestingly, another crewmember of the spaceship can be seen in the background, but sadly this figure was never made into a set! Other cards show figures in the background that really existed, but this one was an exception to that rule.

Figure Names: The card just lists his name as Space Commander.

38. Set #375: Sky Surfer
Years Made: 1978 Number of Pieces: Lots!

Description: The hardest set to find intact with the box. A Holy Grail for many Adventure People collectors! The Sky Surfer is a legendary set in the world of Adventure People since it was only made for one year. The set consists of one figure, a cloth kite, a plastic tail, a cord that winds, plus other pieces to support the kite (we admit we didn't count the pieces). The figure is the same as the #388 Stunt Man. The kite was intended to actually fly and be controlled with the cord. But .... that isn't what happened. The legend is that this set was quickly taken out of production since it simply didn't work. The kite really didn't fly at all and there was concern it could be a safety hazard, so Fisher-Price removed it from production. All of this makes it a very hard set to find, and even harder in the original box. This set in the original box should sell VERY well!

Box: This set sold in a very long and narrow tan box, easily the tallest Adventure People box by far.

Figure Names: No name is listed on the box.

39. Set #377: Astro Knight
Years Made: 1979-1980 Number of Pieces: 2

Description: 2-piece set with a figure and a hang glider. This set contains one of 2 variations: a tan figure with a square helmet with a white and red and orange hang glider; or a blue figure with a square helmet with a red and blue hang glider. The figure is unique among Adventure People in that his body and legs are stiff; only his arms move up and down, and his head turns a little to the side. This design is to make him stiff enough to fit the hang glider without flopping around. The hang glider does glide if thrown the right way. The 2 figures were also sold on the #379 individual card.

Box: As far as we know, this set was only sold in a square tan box in stores. The back of the box is blank.

Figure Name: The back of the box is blank, so no name was listed.

40. Set #378: X-Ray Woman
Years Made: 1980 to 1984 Number of Pieces: 1

Description: One figure on a unique illustrated card. X-Ray Woman was only sold on this card; she was never sold with a set. X-Ray Woman is a green translucent female robot who resides on a spaceship. She, along with her counterpart X-Ray Man, are the only figures made of a more bendy-plastic material, so they have a different feel to them. X-Ray Woman is not a common figure and finding one in good shape can be tricky, since the paint on the control panel can wear off, plus the limbs can break off more easily than most figures.

Box: You see X-Ray Woman on her spaceship with X-Ray Man walking in the background.

Figure Names: The card lists her name as X-Ray Woman.

41. Set #379: Astro Knight (Individual Carded Figure)
Years Made: 1980 to 1982 Number of Pieces: 1

Description: One figure on a unique illustrated card. 2 different figures were sold on this card, which were the same 2 figures sold in the #377 Astro Knight set. The figure could be the tan man with black boots, or the blue man with silver boots. These figures have a design unique to the Adventure People line, as they had no bendable waist or moveable legs. His arms move but turn in an arc. His head moves but barely. He was made "stiff" so he could fit the glider in the #377 set and not flop around.

Box: Astro Knight was sold on a unique illustrated card. Interestingly, this card completely changes his story from the #377 Astro Knight glider set, giving him a far more exciting look. The card's illustrations show Astro Knight as a highly-skilled daring space explorer gliding through outer space, apparently so powerful he does not need any breathing apparatus. Wow! Maybe Fisher-Price wanted to present a "cooler" image for Astro Knight!

Figure Names: The card just lists his name as Astro Knight.

42. Set #380: Clawtron
Years Made: 1980 to 1984 Number of Pieces: 1

Description: One figure on a unique illustrated card. Clawtron is a robot with an entirely black body with a black helmet, with both arms have a claw instead of a hand. Yes he's quite awesome! Clawtron was only sold on this individual card. He uses the same mold as the Indy Diver, Land Speed Racer and Supersonic Pilot. Clawtron was only sold on this card. It can be hard to find a Clawtron in good condition since the control panel on his chest often is missing paint.

Box: The box shows the robot Clawtron on a spaceship, with another Clawtron walking by in the background.

Figure Names: The card lists his name as Clawtron.

43. Set #381: x-Ray Man
Years Made: 1980 to 1984 Number of Pieces: 1

Description: One figure on a unique illustrated card. X-Ray man is a very interesting figure: an entirely translucent green android/robot with purple-blue hair and a control panel on his chest. Yes pretty cool! He was only sold on this card; he never came in a set. His limbs feel a bit more rubbery than most, probably because the material to make him translucent is different from the plastic used for the rest of the Adventure People.

Box: X-Ray man was only sold on an illustrated individual card in a blister pack. Interestingly, you can see his counterpart X-Ray Woman walking in the background of the spaceship.

Figure Names: The card lists his name as X-Ray Man.

44. Set #382: Rescue Pilot
Years Made: 1980 to 1982 Number of Pieces: 1

Description: One figure sold on an individual unique illustrated card. There were 2 different figures sold on this card: African-American man in a gold suit and white helmet; or man in all blue with blond hair and a headset with earphones. These figures were both sold in other sets. The gold pilot was sold in the #305 Rescue Copter; the blue man was sold in the #323 Aero-Marine Rescue.

Box: This illustrated card sold one figure. It shows the 2 pilots flying in a pontoon helicopter coming to rescue people from a tanker fire. Exciting stuff!

Figure Names: The card lists the name as Rescue Pilot.

Description: One figure sold on an individual unique illustrated card. There were 3 different figures sold on this card: blue man with red fireman hat; blond woman in all-blue; and blond woman with green cross wearing all white.

46. Set #384: Frogman
Years Made: 1981 to 1983 Number of Pieces: 1

Description: One figure sold on an individual unique illustrated card. All-blue man with an octopus insignia on his shirt. On the card, he is diving underwater (no scuba gear with this card) to examine a large octopus (clearly he can hold his breath for quite some time!). His head is covered and no hair shows. He is the same figure sold in the #323 Aero-Marine Search Team set. Since he came in 2 sets, the figure is usually not hard to find.

Box: This illustrated card sold one figure.

Figure Names: The card lists his name as Frogman.

47. Set #385: Cycle Racer
Years Made: 1980 to 1982 Number of Pieces: 1

Description: One figure on a unique illustrated card. Man in yellow helmet, orange shirt with white sleeves, brown pants and black boots. He is the same figure sold in the #356 Cycle Racing Team set and also sold on the late 1970's #399 individual tan card. He may be the most common figure made (can't prove it, but it seems all collectors wind up with tons of these!). Interestingly, the motorcycle has the number "318" on it (which is the same as the Daredevil Sports Van set), though this figure was never sold in that set.

Box: This illustrated card only sold this one figure.

Figure Names: The card lists his name as Cycle Racer. In the #356 Cycle Racing Team set, his name is Vince.

48. Set #386: Dune Buster
Years Made: 1980 to 1982 Number of Pieces: 1

Description: One figure on a unique illustrated card. Man with a beard wearing a tan cowboy hat, red shirt, blue pants and gold boots. He also has sunglasses. This figure was only sold on this individual card. He never came in a set. The card shows him driving a dune buggy. He is not a common figure, but not rare either.

Box: This illustrated card only sold this one figure. The card shows the man driving a dune buggy similar to the one in the #322 Dune Buster set.

Figure Names: The card lists his name as Dune Buster.

50. Set #388: Stunt Man
Years Made: 1980 - 1981 Number of Pieces: 1

Description: One figure on a unique illustrated card. The stunt man figure has an interesting back story. He was originally made for the #375 Sky Surfer set, but the set was discontinued after one year because it didn't work well. He then gets a second life rebranded on this individual illustrated card. Stunt man is shorter than all other Adventure People figures and the molds were unique for this figure; no other figure looks anything like him. Even though he is a rare figure since not many were made, he has never been on the most-wanted list of collectors. He just never had the "wow" factor it seems. Still, no collection is complete without a stunt man!

Box: Stunt Man was only sold on an illustrated individual card in a blister pack. The figure was also sold in the #375 Sky Surfer set.

Figure Names: The card calls him Stunt Man.

51. Set #389: Alpha Pilot
Years Made: 1983 to 1984 Number of Pieces: 1

Description: One figure on a unique illustrated card. Alpha Pilot was one of the last figures made in the Adventure People line. He wears an all-gray suit with an enclosed heavy gray helmet. He is one of the rarer figures and collectors look for him. Due to being made at the tail-end of the production line, there were not many Alpha Pilots made therefore making him a rare figure.

Box: Alpha Pilot was only sold on an illustrated individual card in a blister pack. He never came in a set.

Figure Names: The card lists him as Alpha Pilot.

52. Set #390: Brainoid
Years Made: 1983 to 1984 Number of Pieces: 1

Description: One figure on a unique illustrated card. Brainoid is probably the most sought-after figure in the Adventure People line, hands-down! He wears a heavy spacesuit with a control panel in the chest, has a claw, and an exposed brain inside a clear helmet. Yes figures don't come any cooler than this! Brainoid has 2 variations - a left arm/right claw figure, and the opposite right arm/left claw figure. Brainoid on the original card in good condition can be worth a lot of money. Brainoid often has a cloudy helmet, so clear ones can sell very well. Every Adventure People collector wants to have a Brainoid in their collection!

Box: Brainoid was only sold on an illustrated individual card in a blister pack. He never came in a set.

Figure Names: The card lists his name as Brainoid.

53. Set #394: 3-Pack
Years Made: 1982 - 1984 Number of Pieces: 3

Description: Three figures on an illustrated card. There were many different 3-figure combinations that were sold on this card. Some known combinations include: Brainoid/Opticon/Alpha Pilot (most sought after); Space Commander/Clawtron/Supersonic Pilot; Frogman/Supersonic Pilot/Astro Knight; Aero-Marine Pilot/Dune Buster/Highway Trooper; Supersonic Pilot/Opticon/Clawtron; and Space Commander/Clawtron/Astro Knight.

Box: The same card was used for all the different combination of figures that were sold in the 3-pack. It shows a space scene with planets, since many of the figures had an air/space theme to them, but not all (Frogman, Dune Buster and Highway Trooper certainly weren't working in space!).

Figure Names: The card lists no names since various figures could occupy any of the 3 spots.

54. Set #399: Individual Figure on a Tan Card
Years Made: 1978-1980 Number of Pieces: 1

Description: One individual figure sold on a plain tan card. There were 12 figures that are verified to have been sold on the card, and 1 that we are 99.999% sure came on the card. Verified are: tan dad, yellow mom, and blue boy from the Safari set; yellow racer man from Super Speed Racer; green "newer" ranger from Wilderness Patrol; parachuter from Daredevil Skydiver; motorcycler with orange shirt and brown pants from Cycle Racing Team; Male in blue and woman in white from Rescue Team; African-American pilot from Rescue Copter; Male in red cap and dark green pants and older man in brown shirt and tan pants from Northwoods Trailblazer.

The 99.99% sure one is the blue woman paramedic from the Rescue Truck (the one in our photo may have been previously opened so we can't verify that it is authentic, but we are pretty sure she was sold on the card). One member in the Fisher-Price Collectors Club swears she remembers seeing the "older" green ranger from Wilderness Patrol being sold on a tan card when she was a child, but we haven't be able to verify this. (It would make sense since the newer Wilderness Patrol ranger definitely was sold on the tan card).

Box: One figure sold on a plain tan card. There are no illustrations at all. Even the back is blank. Some cards have "399" on them, and some don't.

Figure Names: No names are listed on the card since various figures were used on the same card. Interestingly, every figure sold had a name in their original sets (Susan, Bill, Hawk, Buzz, Alexandra, Jess, Jim, Vince, Scott, Johnny, Tom/Mike, Nancy and Brad).

1. Set #259: Bunk Beds (Dollhouse Decorator Set)
Years Made: 1979 to 1982 Number of Pieces: 5

Description: This set is not from the Adventure People line of toys, but strangely enough, it contains a genuine Adventure Person! This set was sold to be used as an accessory for the #250 Dollhouse. It came with 2 yellow bunk beds, a female figure, and 2 mattresses made out of cloth. The figure was made from the same molds and is the same scale as the Adventure People, so she most certainly is an Adventure People figure! She has brown hair, a white shirt and red pants. This set's existence puzzled children - why sell bunk beds with just one figure?? By definition, you need 2 figures to fill those beds! That's the whole point of bunk beds!

Box: This set was sold in a pink box in the Dollhouse Decorator sets.

Figure Names: No name is mentioned.
