In 1975 Fisher-Price introduced a new line of toys that were designed for children to play with through and beyond preschool age, a time when children are excited by the idea of exploring and being adventurous. The Adventure Series sets came with finely detailed accessories and figures that have movable legs, arms and a movable head. These finely detailed parts left little room for variations, thus making life easier for collectors. Although the Adventure series was in production for a full decade, the number of sets produced and accessories that came with the sets are suprisingly few. Click here for a list of all know Adventure Series sets made in order by model number.

All Adventure Series figures can be easily identified by their jointed hips and shoulders, and they have the words "FISHER-PRICE TOYS" cast into the inside of either their right or left leg. They are very similar to Construx Figures (see our Fisher-Price People types page), but the Adventure Series figures have open/grasping hands (the thumb and index finger always form a "C" shape), whereas Construx figures do not. Also, beware of Adventure Imposter figures!
