[MOC] Johny Thunder And The Amazon Temple

[Jellyeater]

Here is my Amazon Temple with my favourite Lego character:

And movie with traps:

[Hobbythom]

Really cool! It is a magnificent temple. I really like the colour used for the river itself, spot on!

[Dosenbrot]

Captures the jungle-theme really well! Great work!

[DuckBricks]

Great! Brings back so much nostalgia of playing with Adventurers... Awesome job!

[Umbra-Manis]

This is an awesome MOC!

[Graham Gidman]

Great stuff! I love all the vegetation on the first one.

[Robert8]

Amazing!

The Adventurers theme is my favorite LEGO theme ever and this is a wonderful homage!

Congratulations! :thumbup:

Great work! It reminds me of set 5976, but turned up to eleven.

Fantastic MOC! So good to see my favourite Lego theme being re-explored.

You can imagine the sound of the water crashing down from the cleverly-built waterfall (is this made using parts from the Cinderella set?)as well as the busy sounds of the jungle fauna hiding in the abundant foliage. The boat is the perfect vehicle for navigating the murky waterways (a realistic colour choice). The mangrove-style tree roots also set the scene nicely.

I just wonder if this is not more of a Mexican/Central American location rather than the Amazon, as the temple looks quite Mayan-inspired but certainly not a criticism. Also I don't think crocodiles are actually found in the Amazon - (just their smaller caiman cousins).

It pleases me to see the CMF series 13 palaeontologist used, as always thought she would be a perfect recruit for Johnny Thunder's band of adventurers. Hopefully there will be plenty more 'Adventurers-compatible' figures in future series - or better still a return of the theme - do we dare to dream...?!

I noticed that too.... And the Aztec Warrior is there!

Awesome!

This reminds me, has LEGO actually made an Indiana Jones temple situation like this MOC before?

[mediumsnowman]

This is an awesome MOC! I think the swamp water would look better in trans-green (so it seems more water-y) though the olive green looks really good too. I love that steamboat, and the rockwork is great inside and out. I spy an Aztec Warrior!

This one comes close, with the boulder and all.

Great temple, the trees, river and waterfall are also excellent.

[gamejutzu]

This one

Oh, okay.

So there is no set that's corridor-like with traps. LEGO should get on that with a new (and hopefully gender balanced) Adventurers reboot.

[Kretnica]

Pretty cool. Brings back memories, i loved Adventurers theme as a kid (still do).

[Forresto]

Favorite theme hands down. This MOC is such an excellent revival of it as well. Total nostalgia trip. Great use of combining the old and newer elements together so fluidly. The construction is great and all around it's very nice job. Amazing MOC!

[Blitzismydog]

I tried to start a list of what all I liked about this build, and ended up with everything, ha ha. Seriously, though, the foliage, the pools in front of the temple, the interior relief work, all fantastic.

[Windex123]

This is great. I really like the paddle boat.

[Jellyeater]

I try to modernize look of the minifigs. The last three series of collectable minifigures was very helpfull.

[Peppermint_M]

That is fantastic. An excellent build, great details and clever design. Thanks for sharing, I love Adventurers and MOCs are always appreciated.

[LegoPercyJ]

This is a brilliant MOC! The traps are fantastic, and I love the way you did the outside temple!

[agadoijo]

This is awesome!

Love the outside and inside of the temple. That waterfall is very clever and the foliage is nicelly spread.

Very good work.

[Actor Builder]

This is a great creation.

My only concern is the hat you gave Thunder. It just doesn't look like ol' Johnny to me.

Excellent thing here!

[sander1992]

This looks really nice.

The vegetation looks good and the river is nicely done.

The temple has some nice details and the use of the plastic waterfall is really good.

It is nice to see the action inside the temple.

A nice upgrade of the boat/ship of Gabbaro.

Unfortunately my dark age started around 1998-99, so i just own a handful of Adventurers Lego. Now looking back to that theme i feel very unlucky that i missed that era. Great build, congrats!
