The memory of that Marine Search Team set is buried so deep into my childhood memories I can literally smell it. Had the boat with the shark, too. Bath time was never boring.
I grew up about a half hour away from the Fisher Price factory so I had so many of these sets and I think they're fantastic. So simple, yet so much fun.
After Star Wars, the Adventure People was my favorite toy line from my childhood. Their vehicles and figures were amazing. Loved the skydiver and the dirt bike with sidecar.
Bring them back in exactly the same design and durability ! Absolutely some of my best memories. I still have the parachute and it's still the BEST working toy parachute toy ever made.
My younger brothers had quite a few of these figures and vehicles. They were really well made and provided quite a lot of accessories for the time. I remember seeing all of the nautical sets being used in the pool during the summer months. Such a simpler time with the term digital not even being a gleam in anyone's eye yet.
I just remembered whittling a canoe and paddle for my Safari hat guy. (yes I had a pocket knife at age 8) That memory has been stuck away for over 40 years! Thanks for the video.
As a child of the '70's, the GI Joe Adventure Team and the Adventure People from Fisher Price were the true enslavers of my imagination and never again was my imagination so completely satisfied.
The Chatter Phone played a pivotal role in a certain horror movie. In the first Poltergeist, the little girl used it to talk to the spirits. It's been the stuff of nightmares since.
I would LOVE to see a re-release of these toys. They are timeless. Back in the day I only had the Parachute Stuntman and the Motorcross Team and also Clawtron (who I miss terribly!) I love it that the toys were based on a child's imagination more than an IP. Yeah, Star Wars is great and all, but did your kid ever make their own stories????
It's funny, I was sure I never owned any of this line, then Tony showed X-Ray Man & Woman. Yep, I had those 2, my kid self would gravitate to anything Sci fi looking like them, and translucent was also hard to resist, loved my Crystar dudes. Thanks for jogging my memory Tony!
These must have also been relatively inexpensive at the time because my brother and I had almost ALL the figures and toys and we were pretty poor. We LOVED these toys and since they were the same scale as GI Joe a few years later, it was so easy to have civilians as a part of our Joe vs Cobra battles. The Adventure People line was fantastic!
They sure were. They were pretty reasonably priced thanks to not being based on a licensed property like a movie or comic book. They were also incredibly durable so they were worth the money.
OMG! Thank you ANALOG TOYS! I had sooo many happy bathtimes with these toys that I probably didn’t want to get out of the tub! I love being my age (47) because we had the best of everything!!!!! Our generation changed the game and will never dieeee👍🏾💪🏾
Wow! Tony, you are producing incredible " vintage toy " mini documentaries, that, in my opinion, have no equal! I cannot thank you enough, for all of your hard work and dedication, in bringing your love of vintage toys to life, with such comprehensive and professional filmmaking!
The Wilderness Patrol and Northwoods Trailblazer sets were my favorite toys pre Star wars. My best friend and I spent a lot of time playing with these in the stream behind his house!
i had the Alpha 1 in black, and all of the space people. The earliest memories of these i have is the crop-dusting plane with pilot. That thing was definitely built tough.
We had lots of Fisher Price toys as kids in the 70's. My favorites were the Adventure People. I still love them. Before I became obsessed with Star Wars when it came out when I was 5, I was into these. Loved the boats, motorcycle, plane, parachute, helicopter, sub and space ships! Even after I started getting Star Wars toys, I still played with these FS toys and combined them. It was great that they were the same scale. They are incredibly well made. All of my FS toys from my childhood still look great and all still work like new. Great video!
I was a very young kid in the 70’s. I had a couple of FP Adventure People toys. I had the skydiver. That parachute was great! I also had one of the “outdoor” sets with the Jeep and canoe. Those toys were durable for sure! I was nice to my toys, but every kid forgets and leaves things outside from time to time. I was more into Matchbox’s M.A.C. sets, which were a smaller scale figure line but similar to the Adventure People. Also, was a big fan of the Micronauts, until the Star Wars toys came out! FP Adventure People toys were rugged and super fun! Great video Tony!
I had the Alpha Stare 1, the Sky Diver, and the plane/boat set. Adventure People were the basis for so many "adventures" for the young me. Great video.
Nice video, my twin grandchildren have just discovered the FP TV crew and are thoroughly enjoying it especialy the camera. My son found the set and remembered how much fun he had with the FP line as a kid and bought it for them. It's nice to see the next generation enjoying the toys.
These were great! We had quite a few of those, and I believe most of them are still at my parent's home. They survived my brother and me playing with them as well as our kids during visits to Grandma's house. Wonderful and sturdy toys. Cool video!
I'm 51 one yrs old and my two younger brothers and I had almost all the Adventure people toys some we got for Christmas, Birthdays some we found at second hand shops or garage sales . My Brothers and I would be in our back yard having Adventures for hours with these wonderful toys. During the mid 70's to 80's
I loved the Adventure People sets. I still have the sets we had as kids. The helicopter didn't survive, but the others did: North Woods, TV Crew, Dune Buster, construction crew, the ambulance, and Dare Devil Sets. We play the heck out of them. Toys of the 70s were the best. Thanks for the video.
I still have the Rescue Team, the Sea Shark speed boat, and yes, the Aero-Marine Search Team, all of them with all of their action figures and accessories. Wonderful toys, awesome memories.
I had several of the sets featured in this brilliant mini doc: -camping set w/ tent, Jeep & canoe -the sub/helo set (as shown) -THE set that I pined for leading up to Christmas 1980: the green all terrain vehicle, boat & plane My buddy had the motorcycle/van combo & the TV crew. We had hours and hours of fun letting our imaginations run wild. I’d give just about anything to travel back 45 years to a hardcore afternoon of Adventure People. I had no clue that life would blaze by so fast. (sigh)
Thank you so much from bringing me back to a great time of life. I loved my Fisher Price toys and still have a few that I just gave to my grandson to play with.
I had all those toys and had completely forgotten them! Thank you so much for posting this - it has brought back memories of people and places aI haven't thought about for decades.
I was born in 1971. I remember having these before I got the first 12 of the 3 3/4” Star Wars figures in 1978. The Fisher-Price Adventure People were great!
Great video, Tony! The sub was my first Fisher Price Adventure Team toy of my very own when I was a kid, and yes, it was also one of my favorite bathtime toys. I shared a few other sets with my brother and one of my cousins had another set. I also had the parachute. Still have the tent, which we used with our Star Wars and GI Joe figures.
My brother, you just took me back.... WAY BACK. As much as I am a Star Wars fan, i had much more fun with this line. I always re-created JAWS scenes with this brand.( with some help from my older brother) NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR THE ADVENTURE PEOPLE!!!! ✌️🤙👍
I had various sets of these back in the day and still remember going out on my 8th/9th birthday, walking into the toy shop in Cheshunt and picking up the `Sea Explorer` set - I loved that thing and it sure took some beating with my childs imagination back then.
These toys are creative, clever, and nearly indestructible. I, too, had the Deep Sea Exploration set and loved that sub and octopus. I also was a fan of the Safari and Northwoods Trailblazer sets. Those tents, sleeping bags, and animals were great. Thanks for this video!
I loved playing with that Octopus so much, and had completely forgotten about it until seeing it tonight! How awesome! I remember the treasure chest vaguely, and the submarine even less vaguely. Same with that wedge space ship. I definitely had the Space Adventure set too - that shuttle and the sounds it made were great, but somehow I had forgotten them too. So cool to rediscover. Thanks for your excellent videos!
Fantastic video Tony! You are the best vintage toy UA-camr in my opinion! I love this line and collect the Space figures, X-ray Man and Woman, Clawtron, Opticon, and my favorite Brainoid!
Man I had a bunch of these!!! The cash register, telephone, orange van…green motorcycle pack. I loved these. Still do. Hope I still have them somewhere!! Like you said, they were durable! Good times.
For some reason I had one of those astronaut teathers but I never knew exactly what it was or where it came from so this video has answered a 35 year old question - thanks.
Adventure People and Star Wars were definitely my gateway into a lifelong love of action figures. I still have a few that I’ve shared with my son, they’ve held up nicely, but I wish I still owned all of the sets from my childhood though!
Remember having the black Fisher-Price Alpha Star 1 with the astronaut way back in '79-80. Thanks for this one, Mr. Tony. Didn't know he was called X-Ray Man. Appreciate how equally you give detail to all the toylines you feature on this channel. 👍 The octopus logo on the submarine reminds of the SPECTRE insignia from the James Bond movies of the 1960s.
Never had any of these in my younger days, Legos and Playmobil mostly before Joe's. Though after seeing that space line, I sure would have loved that!! Thanks for the video!!!
Massive thanks for this video Tony, I’m a recent subscriber and your videos have really helped recapture a lot of dormant memories for my childhood. Like you I remember the Adventure People being my first ‘action toy’ and the sets shown sparking off so much memory of bathtime fun! Honestly mate, thank you
Haven't watched all the video yet but already I'm commenting because blinking heck that cash register and phone!! It's triggered long lost memories!! Right thanks Tony I'll carry on with the video!!!
I am now the proud owner of a lot of Adventure People. It was always the toys that my friends older brothers of sisters had and they sometimes cropped up in our Star Wars play but I never really got the line because I was too young. There is something magical about these toys and with ideas so far ahead of its time its insane! If any toy was woke without forcing it like everyone nowadays, this is the toy! It it a real gem of a toy and becoming very very collectable.
I’ve been waiting for this video! Well done! I had the adventure van set and LOVED it. Now I’m collecting the space sets, though I may re-acquire the van at some point. I’m also planning to try and recreate the Star Wars “prototypes”.
I LOVED these toys as a kid! I had the submarine set, motorcycles, parachute, canoe set, jeep and the van. They fit in well with my Star Wars toys. My motorcycle riders were members of the Rebel Alliance, Boba Fett used a parachute and Han Solo and crew often took the jeep when they were on a planet. And you're right, they were indestructible! Mine took quite a beating and never had anything broken. The jeep would fly down the stairs. Luke got his head decapitated once, but the Jeep was just fine.
I got many of the Adventure People sets as a pre-schooler in the mid 70s. The vehicles were so rugged that I would still be using them as GIJoe accessories well into the mid 80s.
I was typing my comment while watching and the figure I mentioned popped up on screen! At the 8:15 mark! What are the odds of that! Haha. He was great.
Hands down the most underrated toy line of all time.
If a toy line EVER begged for a re-release? My money would be on the Adventure People line. The most thoughtful, imaginative toy line ever.
True that.
yes!
The memory of that Marine Search Team set is buried so deep into my childhood memories I can literally smell it. Had the boat with the shark, too. Bath time was never boring.
I grew up about a half hour away from the Fisher Price factory so I had so many of these sets and I think they're fantastic. So simple, yet so much fun.
I had a bunch of these too. I Particularly remember that Octopus toy and the space shuttle. These were truly great toys.
After Star Wars, the Adventure People was my favorite toy line from my childhood. Their vehicles and figures were amazing. Loved the skydiver and the dirt bike with sidecar.
Do I know you? We must have been friends back in the day.
Bring them back in exactly the same design and durability ! Absolutely some of my best memories. I still have the parachute and it's still the BEST working toy parachute toy ever made.
My GI Joe’s used all of these Adventure People vehicles to battle Cobra for years.
the motorcycle team brings back a lot of memories.
Watching the Fisher-Price commercial @2:32 really had me reminiscing my childhood...such a simple era of my life that brought me simple joys
My younger brothers had quite a few of these figures and vehicles. They were really well made and provided quite a lot of accessories for the time. I remember seeing all of the nautical sets being used in the pool during the summer months. Such a simpler time with the term digital not even being a gleam in anyone's eye yet.
I actually had these. I played with them in the bathtub all the time. I loved the action features of these toys.
I also had the space shuttle with sound effects.
A great overview of this inspirational line. We probably wouldn't have had the SW or Joe lines we did if Fisher Price chose another scale.
It's funny how these are so simple yet so collectible.
So true. They should keep making toy lines like these; Our Joes, and soldiers and heroes Always need regular people to save!
@@bentonrp I 100% agree.
I just remembered whittling a canoe and paddle for my Safari hat guy. (yes I had a pocket knife at age 8) That memory has been stuck away for over 40 years! Thanks for the video.
As a child of the '70's, the GI Joe Adventure Team and the Adventure People from Fisher Price were the true enslavers of my imagination and never again was my imagination so completely satisfied.
Great video - love the TV Action Team figures - diverse and not ageist (and a hint of Ron Burgundy)... can you imagine them being released now?!?
This line was completely awesome. I have a number of them, but I still want more.
I always thought their octopus symbol makes them look like Spectre or Hydra agents.
The Chatter Phone played a pivotal role in a certain horror movie. In the first Poltergeist, the little girl used it to talk to the spirits. It's been the stuff of nightmares since.
I would LOVE to see a re-release of these toys. They are timeless. Back in the day I only had the Parachute Stuntman and the Motorcross Team and also Clawtron (who I miss terribly!)

Lol. Lovely!
Adventure People! I had a second space shuttle. That thing got so much mileage
I had that marine set (and a few others)! Still have fond memories of that line. Great video, Tony!
These must have also been relatively inexpensive at the time because my brother and I had almost ALL the figures and toys and we were pretty poor.

Thanks for your dedication. We picked up a vintage FP submarine & helicopter after viewing this publication. You're awesome!
Having no storyline from comics, movies, or tv, FP really made you choose your own adventure.
Loved the air and sea set. Fond memories of bath time with the sub and the octopus. All but forgotten but thanks to this video - thanks!
Had the Alpha Star. Good memories. Thanks Tony!
That sub was a blast! All of the Adventure toys were great.
Wow!
Tony, you are producing incredible " vintage toy " mini documentaries, that, in my opinion, have no equal!
I cannot thank you enough, for all of your hard work and dedication, in bringing your love of vintage toys to life, with such comprehensive and professional filmmaking!
Glad you like them!
Spent many hours in the bath tube with a rubber shark and scuba people. Parachute guy was also great.
The Wilderness Patrol and Northwoods Trailblazer sets were my favorite toys pre Star wars. My best friend and I spent a lot of time playing with these in the stream behind his house!
i had the Alpha 1 in black, and all of the space people. The earliest memories of these i have is the crop-dusting plane with pilot. That thing was definitely built tough.

My Brothers and I would be in our back yard having Adventures for hours with these wonderful toys. During the mid 70's to 80's
Hi tony. Sister an I had the farmer family. Never knew about other sets
Wow thank you so much... I had that exact same submarine set handed down to me by my older brothers...it was so awesome.
I loved the Adventure People sets. I still have the sets we had as kids. The helicopter didn't survive, but the others did: North Woods, TV Crew, Dune Buster, construction crew, the ambulance, and Dare Devil Sets. We play the heck out of them. Toys of the 70s were the best. Thanks for the video.
I still have the Rescue Team, the Sea Shark speed boat, and yes, the Aero-Marine Search Team, all of them with all of their action figures and accessories. Wonderful toys, awesome memories.
Great video. In the late 70s these were my favorite toys I had. I’d spend hours creating new adventures outside in my sandbox and backyard
Really nice figures great sets
I had several of the sets featured in this brilliant mini doc:
-camping set w/ tent, Jeep & canoe
-the sub/helo set (as shown)
-THE set that I pined for leading up to Christmas 1980: the green all terrain vehicle, boat & plane

Thank you so much from bringing me back to a great time of life. I loved my Fisher Price toys and still have a few that I just gave to my grandson to play with.
Oh man, I spent HOURS playing with that set. Lost it in a move back in '84.
Adventure People were the Village People of toys-so many professions represented!
Thanks for this video! Had a lot of these. I just purchased the aero-marine set off eBay for my son! Bath time is lit!
Excellent video, Thank you!
DAMN! I had that helicopter for years! And that submarine is still in my bathroom closet. Thanks so much for this! Cheers!!
I had all those toys and had completely forgotten them! Thank you so much for posting this - it has brought back memories of people and places aI haven't thought about for decades.
I still have X-Ray Man and X-Ray Woman. Also Firestar I boxed.
I remember get this set for Christmas in 1980, it was awesome when I was kid. Great memories. I also got the van set for Christmas as well.
I was born in 1971. I remember having these before I got the first 12 of the 3 3/4” Star Wars figures in 1978. The Fisher-Price Adventure People were great!
The octopus logo reminds me of the Spectre organisation from the Bond movies.
Oh man, I had this! I got it for Christmas in the 80's. This is great!
Great video, Tony! The sub was my first Fisher Price Adventure Team toy of my very own when I was a kid, and yes, it was also one of my favorite bathtime toys. I shared a few other sets with my brother and one of my cousins had another set. I also had the parachute. Still have the tent, which we used with our Star Wars and GI Joe figures.
What a great toy line. And super durable. My parents still have some of these at their house 40+ years later! I had the parachute and out doors team.
My brother, you just took me back.... WAY BACK. As much as I am a Star Wars fan, i had much more fun with this line. I always re-created JAWS scenes with this brand.( with some help from my older brother) NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR THE ADVENTURE PEOPLE!!!! ✌️🤙👍
I had both of those as well as the camping set and Clawtron, x-ray man and woman and some other random astronauts. So cool.

tony thank you for this video it brought back memories
2:47 Why do get the feeling the TV Action Team would show up to report the news every time the A-Team escape Colonel Decker and the military.
These toys are creative, clever, and nearly indestructible. I, too, had the Deep Sea Exploration set and loved that sub and octopus. I also was a fan of the Safari and Northwoods Trailblazer sets. Those tents, sleeping bags, and animals were great. Thanks for this video!
I had forgotten I had this submarine set as a kid, one of my favorites.

What a cool play set. Never knew they made this. I had the shark boat. Hours of fun.
Man I had a bunch of these!!! The cash register, telephone, orange van…green motorcycle pack. I loved these. Still do. Hope I still have them somewhere!! Like you said, they were durable! Good times.
Great video and great line of toys. Action Force used my Fisher Price Green van.
I loved the Adventure People sets. I had several of them including the Aero Marine adventure set also being one of my favorites
For some reason I had one of those astronaut teathers but I never knew exactly what it was or where it came from so this video has answered a 35 year old question - thanks.
Oh my god i had the same one. That was my favorite. My dad took me to woolworth's to get this for bath time. The submarine was awsome.
Sea Shark was another one that I still have and that was all I wanted for Christmas!
Adventure People and Star Wars were definitely my gateway into a lifelong love of action figures. I still have a few that I’ve shared with my son, they’ve held up nicely, but I wish I still owned all of the sets from my childhood though!

The octopus logo on the submarine reminds of the SPECTRE insignia from the James Bond movies of the 1960s.
Those were 2 playsets I didn't have but I had the octopus & treasure chest from a different set :) Nice feature, hits that certain part of your brain.
I feel like imaginext give you the same feeling as these... some of the best toylines ever imo...
Never had any of these in my younger days, Legos and Playmobil mostly before Joe's. Though after seeing that space line, I sure would have loved that!! Thanks for the video!!!
I loved these toys ... I remember using the safari set, the van, and the shuttle with my G. I. Joe's. Great memories!
Massive thanks for this video Tony, I’m a recent subscriber and your videos have really helped recapture a lot of dormant memories for my childhood.

They were awesome. Used the vehicles and figures along with my GI Joe and Star Wars figures.
I had these toys omg I was so happy to get them I played with these all the time.
I LOVED these toys as a kid! I had the submarine set, motorcycles, parachute, canoe set, jeep and the van. They fit in well with my Star Wars toys. My motorcycle riders were members of the Rebel Alliance, Boba Fett used a parachute and Han Solo and crew often took the jeep when they were on a planet.
And you're right, they were indestructible! Mine took quite a beating and never had anything broken. The jeep would fly down the stairs. Luke got his head decapitated once, but the Jeep was just fine.
I love FP Adventure People!
My Childhood sets were:
North woods trailblazer
Stunt plane
And the raft with 2 divers
I got many of the Adventure People sets as a pre-schooler in the mid 70s. The vehicles were so rugged that I would still be using them as GIJoe accessories well into the mid 80s.
