Treasures, rivals, monsters and ruins; even after 25 years, the Adventurers are ready!

[MOC] - 25 Years of Adventure Cat. B - Dr. Kilroy's Library
Bricknave posted a topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
Dr. Kilroy retreats to his personal library to record his adventures and plan for new expeditions. Two huge bookshelves brimming with knowledge help him research the flora, fauna, customs, and cultures of any country in the known world. Copies of the maps used in his original adventures hang on the walls of the library, and a large globe helps him plan trips to new destinations. Today, Dr. Kilroy is researching the potential origins of an artifact found on a remote island. Dr. Kilroy's library includes a large desk, a lamp, a comfortable armchair, a large globe, bookshelves with a ladder on a curved rail, and of course, plenty of books.

[MOC] - 25 Years of Adventure Cat. A - The Oasis Ambush
Bricknave posted a topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
25 Years of Adventure Category A The Oasis Ambush A rebuild of one of my favorite Adventurers sets: 5938: Oasis Ambush. Despite being a small set, 5938 has almost everything a kid could ask for: A good guy, a bad guy, hidden treasure for them to find, danger to overcome, and a working function of some kind! Plus, the original model itself is unique, recognizable, and lends itself well to re-imaginings. Not only does my re-imagining include the tomb, the palm tree, the mummy, the scorpion, OG Sam Sinister / Slyboots, and (of course) Johnny Thunder, but it also includes an oasis and ... Well, an ambush. Actually, two ambushes of sorts. Johnny Thunder, blissfully unaware, bathes in the oasis after wandering the desert for days in search of the tomb. He brought his trusty comb and hand-mirror to help him stay clean, but in the corner of the mirror he catches a glimpse of something ... Slyboots! Or is it Sam Sinister? Anyway, Slyboots has managed to ambush Johnny Thunder. He has swiped the Golden Spear, and clearly has the upper hand. However, grabbing the Spear has awakened ... (EXTRA PHOTO) ... The Mummy, eyes glowing red, out to punish the one who dislodged the Golden Spear! The impetus for making Johnny Thunder get ambushed while bathing stemmed from the fact that his only expression is a smiling one. If he was ambushed by someone, and that someone was in plain view, he probably wouldn't be smiling. A chain was almost connected to the spear and to the lid of the tomb. Although pulling the chain is easy to do with the original set (5938), this would probably take considerable force for a Minifigure to do, so Slyboots probably wouldn't be able to casually pull the chain while aiming a pistol at Johnny. Instead, I settled on a magical explanation for the tomb's opening. A few creatures were scattered throughout the build to give life to the oasis. See if you can find them! Thanks for viewing! -
[MOC] - 25 Years of Adventure Cat. C - Otto Shnurrbart’s M3 half-track
Yatkuu posted a topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
I am happy to present my entry in the Category C - Ride to Adventure..."Otto Shnurrbart’s M3 half-track". “In a wild twist of fate, Jack Storm and Harvey Blitheworth find themselves in a sand-swept race against the notorious tomb robbers led by Otto Shnurrbart. Determined to protect their newly liberated sarcophagus of Amset-Ra, our heroes dart across the desert like caffeinated roadrunners, with Otto's goons hot on their heels. Now, Otto may not be the poster child for subtlety; he's more like a bull in a china shop with a flamethrower. Seriously, his idea of diplomacy is probably smashing through walls and shouting, "I'm here!" It's safe to say there are few obstacles that cannot be overcome by an M3 half-track with a mounted 50 caliber machine gun…” Camel crossing by Gregory Coquelz, on Flickr Camel crossing by Gregory Coquelz, on Flickr Roadkill on the menu by Gregory Coquelz, on Flickr This MOC also happens to be my half of a collaborative display I made with my good friend Pixel Fox for the Paredes Fan weekend 2023. Pixel Fox’s part of the display features the heroes’ Land Rover that is trying to escape the bad guys who are chasing them. The setting of this desert chase scene is inspired by the adventures of Jack Storm, a fictional character invented by Pixel Fox and featured in his LEGO comic “The Island” that can be read here.

[MOC] - 25 Years of Adventure Cat. B - The Pharaoh’s Rap
Yatkuu posted a topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
I am happy to present my entry in the Category B - From the office of....Pharaoh Hotep Can immortal beings go through a mid-death crisis...? And if they can, when on earth would it strike? Well, let's dive into the fascinating tale of Pharaoh Hotep, a timeless ruler who found himself in a pyramid-sized pickle. It all began in 2011, when LEGO released the Pharaoh's Quest series. Talk about an ancient punch in the gut! Hotep had been relegated to the shadows while his rival, Amset-Ra, stole the spotlight as the hero. Deep down, Hotep yearned for a mere cameo, a fleeting moment of fame, but alas, nobody gave a sphinx's whisker about him anymore. This was rock bottom for our bewildered Pharaoh. He spiraled into depression, and even his ever-loyal mummies grew tired of his ceaseless whinging. But hope shimmered like a desert mirage when his therapist dropped a quirky suggestion: "Find a hobby, mate!" Now, Hotep was no ordinary ruler. Well hidden beneath that regal facade beat the heart of a true music enthusiast. So, imagine the astonishment of his entourage when he revealed his newfound passion for... rap music! Pharaoh Hotep underwent a transformative rebirth as "Po-eth" and decided to convert an unused funeral chamber into his personal recording studio. Here he is, adorned in golden chains and draped in royal swag, laying down his epic first single, "The Pharaoh's Rap." And that, my friends, is how an ancient ruler resurrected his groove, proving that even an eternal being can unleash their inner hip-hop superstar. The Pharaoh’s Rap by Gregory Coquelz, on Flickr Recording by Gregory Coquelz, on Flickr Mummy sound engineer by Gregory Coquelz, on Flickr As a bonus, I leave you with the lyrics of Po-eth's 1st single. Listen up, y'all, gather 'round, I'm 'bout to unfold, The tale of Pharaoh Hotep, a legend untold. In ancient Egypt, he ruled the land, Guarding the Re-Gou Ruby with a red iron hand. Hotep, the Pharaoh, resting in his ancient tomb, Traps and puzzles, ready to seal trespassers doom. Johnny Thunder ventured in, seeking the prize, Unaware of the trials, where danger lies. (Chorus) This is the Pharaoh's rap, let it be heard, Po-eth on the mic, droppin' rhymes, absurd. Hotep's domain, where legends come alive, Red hands unleashed, blazing through the vibe. Within the tomb, his legacy remains, Chambers rigged with traps, causing screams and pains. Baron von Barron dared to steal the precious stone, Unaware of the curse that would soon be known. The Ruby vanished, a mysterious feat, Pharaoh Hotep emerged, victory complete. Dragging the Baron into the depths unknown, Red hands glowing, his power fully shown. (Chorus) This is the Pharaoh's rap, let it be heard, Po-eth on the mic, droppin' rhymes, absurd. Hotep's domain, where legends come alive, Red hands unleashed, blazing through the vibe. Hotep's legacy lives on, a timeless tale, His spirit in the rhymes, his rap won't fail. Lego Adventurers, a world of dreams, Where Pharaohs rap and nothing's as it seems. So remember the tale of the Pharaoh's might, Red hands of power, shining through the night. In Lego Adventurers, his story prevails, Po-eth's rap legacy, a treasure that never fails. -
[MOC] - 25 Years of Adventure Cat. A - No cake for Sam Sinister
Yatkuu posted a topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
I am happy to present my entry in the Category A - Great Adventure Welcome to Camelback Manor, the assisted living facility where Johnny Thunder and Sam Sinister spice up their golden years with thrilling adventures! On this particular day, the grand event was a high-stakes Monopoly game, with a scrumptious cake as the ultimate prize. As luck would have it, Johnny emerged as the victor, playing fair and square. But lo and behold, Sam Sinister, being his mischievous self, had a different opinion. He dramatically points his hook at Johnny, accusing him of cheating with a twinkle in his eye. In a delightful twist, the whole retirement community bursts into laughter, knowing that Sam's accusations hold no weight. However, little does Sam know, Johnny's wheelchair has been secretly modified with turbo boosters, courtesy of their mischievous grandkids. As Sam puffs out his chest, ready to challenge Johnny, our wheeled hero zooms away at lightning speed, leaving Sam in his dust, grinning from ear to ear. And so, the Monopoly game might have ended, but the race for retirement glory has just begun at Camelback Manor!
