They actually designed tandem-engine bombers like that one in Dino Research Compound and still do, but they were short-lived. The Island Hopper was modled off the Grumman Goose. These look like many real-life planes of the early 1900s.
Those last two totally deserved their places. The details on all these planes are insanely accurate given the simple builds these things were. The blue twin engine is totally plausible, theres some planes with twin cockpits. The details of the radial cylinders are so on point. The folding wings are used for storage planes in a hangar. The last one is ashtonising, building actual cylinders inside the plane, covering them and putting the propellor lower instead of upper on the frontal, for there is where, by cylinder disposition, it would go. It's clear that designers used real planes as reference (gloster gladiator, fokker albatros, tiger moth, grumman goose,...). I'm considering getting that island hopper and "moc"ing it to give it more storage space and some wheels to land on airfield too. Great review! :D
I have both the number 1 and the number 2 spot and I have to say DESERVED spots ! They are so great. The island hopper always made it in my city too because it actually aged well. It still does not look that old
Heck yeah! That Desert theme plane was legit! It was my favorite growing up. I always added extra guns to the zeppelin and it would fight with the barons plane. Adventurers was all about violence
That tandem plane is actually kind of plausible. There are a few planes with twin cockpits, my favorite being the twin mustang. And the seats aren’t inside the engines, you can see the radial engines behind the propellers and in front of where the cockpit starts. As for the tail, I assume the slanted “chair” looking pieces are simply for structural integrity but some big bombers have dual stabilizers like it. I actually quite like this build after giving it a look over
And...cockpits inside the engines...? The engines are rotary. The twin fuselage airplane is actually kind of a breath of fresh air. I didn't like it a kid as it was too different, but I love the idea and execution now! This could have a been a fantastic stand alone set, with the proper care of course!
Great video! It would be great to update it with the new set 60425 Jungle Explorer Water Plane and the 60437 Jungle Explorer Helicopter. I think they did a fantastic job modernizing the Adventurers theme, shifting from the tomb raiders that were popular in the '90s to scientific missions. Personally, my all-time favorite set is still the 5756 Expedition Balloon, which I got for my 10th birthday.
I can actually answer the licensed figures going flesh tone; it's because of Lando Calrissian from Star Wars. They made him brown, while everyone else remained yellow. It kinda squicked some people out because beforehad (barring a few themes' exceptions) lego figures were just people. They were yellow to be all inclusive. And probably making Lando yellow would have made things worse than making licensed characters "flesh tone."

Great comment! Where were you when I was writing the script?? Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂

I think it was a favorite of everyone who grew up with it

Thanks for posting! The closeups in the video helped me add in details to some sets we have. No manuals 😢
This was great, glad I found some more content about adventurers
1:46 that little section made me howl
Great video with interesting theme and great production!
9:55 looks like a Bristol Fighter

Those sets were pretty cool.. just not enough guns
A balloon having a motor makes it a dirigible, which I believe is a German word meaning “steerable”
I still have the Adventurer's Plane lol
The duo plane is awesome!
4:20, whoa whoa whoa that was uncalled for!
I'm starting to think that the B team were the children of the A team.
Also, I think Johnny is a definite comb-over guy. Hence the hat.
That makes me like him even more

It was definitely an awkward choice to make Lando black first, well still keeping everyone else yellow
3:53 This looks like an F-82, Henkel He 111Z or similar twin-fuselage heavy bo.ber circa WWI or WWII.
You missed the balloon from the pyramid set
Check the non-motorized vehicles list Video!
Cool video, what’s the song towards the end? Thanks
Great song from Trials ua-cam.com/video/9L31wdY_vEE/v-deo.html&ab_channel=TURST67akaZ%C3%A4a
Review7rank the sets please!
HARRY KANE HAHAHA
A ploy to remove that damn hat
