WHAT AN ADVENTURE...... PEOPLE!

Hello There!
Today we are taking a look at my Fisher Price Adventure People.
And I have to correct a mistake, I say that the alien is the Alpha Star pilot when actually he is the Fire Star pilot, I know I'm an idiot, but I never learn do I..........
Stay to the end to see footage of me receiving these toys way back at Christmas 1981.

Oops I made a mistake 😱. I call the alien pilot the Alpha Star when obviously he is the Fire Star pilot. I shall lock myself in the shame cupboard and seek forgiveness from the KZbin gods……

Si! Look what you have done: our universe is collapsing 🤣🤣😆

Knock-Knock on the shame cupboard door. Thank you for the trip down 'loose head' memory lane! I had the motorcycle driver 40 years ago for sure. The X-mas '81 footage is pure gold. Right, now back into the shame cupboard with you.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

@@Uncle_GenX It does seem like everyone had the motorcycle rider back in the day 😁 I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching 😊👍 (Right, back to tidying my shame cupboard)…. 😂

[@JoevsRc]

This is great . i think i had that green dirt bike.

[@kevinoswald4136]

omg,I had so many. the north woods, skydiver,the motorcycle, formula1 car,safari, sea explorer, mini sub.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

Cool! Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@blkft]

I still have quite a few of mine: Sky Diver, Kayak with figure, motorcross set and hauler van, boats planes, TV van, the space shuttle, a bunch of figures, and etc,,, . Bring back a lot of memories.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

@@blkft wow, sounds like you have quite the collection there. Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@blkft]

@@Retrotoyguysi Thank ya kindly, 🙂👍.

The dude w the cowboy hat had a badass 4x4 he came with... it was awesome.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

Yeah, I’m a little upset that I’ve lost his cool green buggy. Maybe it will show up somewhere someday. Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@blkft]

I believe the 4X4 was sold as a "build a kit" toy you had to assemble. There was also a fighter jet too.

[@MonkeyboysToys]

Not a line I'm very familiar with but the guy with the dome looked rather sinister. Thsnks for sharing these with us!

[@Retrotoyguysi]

Thanks MB 😊👍

[@Retrotoyguysi]

Actually I should add that these figures are quite easy to find online and the prices are relatively good, considering the heritage of this line, and thus are quite easy to collect, you know if you were looking at starting a new collection 😂😜

[@MonkeyboysToys]

@@Retrotoyguysi maybe one day, never say never!

[@Sparkyboy422]

Nice! I had a few of these back in the day, I remeber having a diver and the cowboy dude with the sunglasses but he had a red shirt instead of white, don't remember having the buggy you showed though.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

I think the red shirt cowboy was just a loose figure and the white shirt guy came with the dune buggy. Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@Chris-dz3rs]

The Fisher Price vehicles worked with GI JOE ARAH figures as well.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

Yeah I remember using the dune buggy along with my GI Joe and Action Force and then using the space ship to play along with my Star Wars. Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@sva3897]

Hello there! Fisherprice Adventure people.. Interesting figures you have there. I like the style of sculpting, a ‘cartoonish’ look but still a certain realism. Yeah the necks seem to suffer from being loose but in general the quality of the figures and the paint looks robust? (I have never seen these figures in reality) As a ‘space guy’ I like that alpha star 1. If the Cylons of Battlestar Galactica would have a speeder it could look like that! The Pilot reminds ma a bit of the Aliens in film ’Mars Attacks’ I used to play with the space shuttle of the Adventure People as a kid. Back in the eighties I was not aware that this awesome space ship piloted by my GI Joe’s was actually a piece from the Adventure people line. A few years ago I learned about the existence of the line when I saw the Star Wars prototypes.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

Yeah they were a great line of toys, though as you can see I didn’t have that many. I do wish I had some more of the space line, There is an X-Ray man and woman figures that look pretty cool. Quite a lot of it can be found online and the figures cost around 5-10 euros from what I’ve seen. Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@IntergalacticDustBunny]

I've still got my Sea Explorer set minus the Rubber Dolphin, it is my oldest surviving Childhood toy. It's still a pretty cool set.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

It is unbelievable how well these toys were made and how they have withstood the test of time. Great to hear you still have your childhood set. Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@AllThings80s]

Great stuff. It still bothers me to this day that the side car rider can’t sit up straight.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

I know, right, it’s really frustrating, I thought he might be a bit distorted from age but I guess it’s a universal problem. Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@travelswithjasonf1463]

I don't think I had any of the fishers price figures or vehicles when I was a kid I know I did pick up the camper van to convince it into a landram figures look good and I like that side car with motorbike Dean got some of them if I remember right

[@Retrotoyguysi]

I think Dean managed to get a boxed version of the motorcycle and of course he has the stunt parachute guy as well, which I don’t have. Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@andrewandrew4568]

I have my vintage motorcycle driver but he is in bad condition. Held up well for the abuse but the head doesn't stay up. They got hard play. Thanks.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

Hi there Andrew, it does look like wobbly head syndrome is quite common with these figures, there is a fix I found, so I might make a video on how to do that sometime. Thanks for watching 😊👍

I noticed that you have good-quality videos but the videos are not getting views and subscribers are not increasing. I found some problems with your channel. 1. SEO Score is very low 2. Tag SEO friendly and many problems on your KZbin Channel. You need to optimize your channel and do video SEO to reach your target audience. Otherwise, if you upload videos to your channel throughout the year, none of your videos will get viral views.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

Thanks for spotting that, I don’t know what SEO is but I will definitely go research that. Thanks again 😊👍

[@adsexpert12]

@@Retrotoyguysi Sir SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. This is an algorithm of youtube. SEO will make your videos go viral very quickly. I can help you with this.I will make you a video SEO first then you will understand.

Had the safari set, back when kids had to use their imagination

[@Retrotoyguysi]

These were great toys to have back in the day, like you say imagination was king back then. Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@3Storms]

This line was absolutely a great line. The best piece to collect is the big shuttle. My personal favorites are the X-Ray man and woman. I don't know why. They're just cool in a late 70s sort of way. Don't feel bad about the condition of yours. All it means is a long time ago some kid was in his backyard, had a lot of imaginary adventures with them, and loved every minute of it. Having ones in perfect condition isgreat for collectors, but less-than-perfect ones come with the stories of the kids who originally owned them.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

Thanks for the kind comment. I have been thinking of getting the X-ray man and woman as, like you, I think they are really cool. The whole range has a very 70’s feel to it. 3 Storms, Big Trouble in Little China reference? Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@3Storms]

@@Retrotoyguysi Yes it's a "Big Trouble.." reference. Few catch that.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

@@3Storms one of my all time favorite movies 😜
