Peppermint_M Posted October 18, 2019 It's not hard to create a character using this guy. I dig the moustache. Heck, I could characterise this guy as Samuel Thunder, father of Johnny Thunder and former colleague of Dr. Charles Lightning. All it takes is a little imagination.

Peppermint_M Posted October 18, 2019 It was always Baron Von Baron to me. In my little flight of fancy, I took the Sam from Sam Grant, which was what I knew JT as before I visited Legoland Windsor some years later, to make the name. A Legoland Windsor that has given us an Amelia Thunder in their promotional material... I am a terrible trash person who writes FanFic and I can get behind this in my personal world building. One day I might inflict my Adventure Generations on everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[Review] One other figure I should mention that 2019 has given us which should be of interest to us fellow Adventurers is Poe Dameron from 75249 Resistance Y-Wing Starfighter, as he sports an outfit I find to be evocative of Brendan Fraser's Rick O'Connell from The Mummy...

Peppermint_M Posted November 14, 2019 So here is a question for everyone: Do you want more little building contests and raffles with tags as prizes? I know some are not interested in profile tags and want real prizes, but the logistics take time that I sometimes don't have. Also, with a digital prize, digital entries are welcome. There are a lot of tags here in Action and Adventures that I would love to award. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Magistrate Posted November 15, 2019 I vote for frequent little contests and digital prizes. We can get physical Lego sets anywhere, but you're the only source for digital loot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJ Tong (zfogshooterz) Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Absolutely, I definitely would love to have more tags! Edited November 18, 2019 by JJ Tong (zfogshooterz) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digger of Bricks Posted November 19, 2019 Here's something I've just noted over on the 2020 City topic that's also worth bringing up here... 6 minutes ago, Digger of Bricks said: Is it just me, or does the female explorer's torso print in the new Safari Explorer set evoking the Adventurers theme's Pippin Reed?

Great find! I will try to get this torso. And with this pith helmet she will look like a modern Miss Gail Storm aka Pippin Reed: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=18829pb01&idColor=2#T=C&C=2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digger of Bricks Posted December 11, 2019 Not sure if this will be of interest to other fellow "Adventurers" here, but next year's 76150 Spiderjet vs. Venom Mech has an awfully nice legs & torso combo off of its Spider-Man Noir figure that looks generically reusable for a Pulp Era 1930's crimefighter like The Shadow or The Green Hornet...

The Reader Posted December 19, 2019 This would be great torso for an adventurer (torso used by Aurore here). But I would actually change the hands to yellow ones. (Not sure, if I am allowed to show the BL-picture. If not, please delete it.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seemingly, we unfortunately can‘t buy her torso solo at Lego: https://www.lego.com/en-gb/service/replacementparts/sale But perhaps this is an explanation and gives us some hope.
