Adventure Supplies: Parts from other themes for Adventurers!

[Peppermint_M]

Yes, the whole line of sets has a lot of handy parts and designs.

Was watching reviews for some of the new Monkie Kid sets, there is a really cool treasure map/scroll piece Mei is holding in the Team Van set (80038). I don't know much about the story of Monkie Kid but the City of Lanterns set had a big Golden Lotus Flower on top of one of the buildings, and this treasure map seemed to be searching for that Lotus Flower.

I am certainly inspired to make a Johnny Thunder and the search for the Golden Lotus Flower moc set now.

I recently found out the Top Hat Tom fig's torso from the 2021 CITY Advent calendar (set 60603) works out very nicely for a modern Dr. Kilroy, whereas nearly the whole Safari tourist woman from 2020 set 60267 (Safari Off-Roader) works wonders for a modern Ms. Reed. (I only added the hair) Johnny is the stock CMF fig, minus the backpack and with his 'outback'-style hat back in it's rightful place on his head!

I must say, still prefer original faces to new ones, but they do not look bad at all. Good job!

I suspect I've seen this in use elsewhere, but if you're looking for an early 20th-Century sailor torso, you could do a lot worse than use the Connoisseur torso from the Series 17 CMF range:

(Heck, you could probably get away with using the whole minifigure, honestly).

As for other Adventurers-themed goodies, I've stumbled across some older parts which I found useful for some Pharaoh's Quest prequel MOCs I put together a few years ago. For example, this old torso from the 2016 Volcano Explorer line is really good for any female Adventurer (although you'll want a backpack or a long hairpiece to cover up that logo):

Similarly, this entire minifigure from the 2012 Dino theme is also fantastic, but I particularly like his torso. I swapped the bare yellow arms for dark tan ones, and hey, now he can look more like a jungle guide!

Also, this face is plenty generic in most sets, but I've found it works great as a treacherous minor villain (because eye bags and stubble are sinister enough, right?):

Finally, I've found you can get some excellent mileage out of Frank Rock's torso for Adventurer-type settings, especially if you're okay replacing his arms with dark brown ones, which turns this torso into a rather grubby-looking aviator jacket!

I use the torso exactly for that! It fits rather well with goggles from CMF series 21 Airplane Girl (her torso is usable too).

Mickey’s safari vest from the new camping set seems useful. Not sure if it has anything on the back that might ruin its usefulness like his aviator jacket.

Also, I have no interest in the Atari, but I NEED this sticker! 

[Peppermint_M]

 just the one sticker. 

If the VIP rewards team had any sense, this would be a real poster for ordering.

This little clock from the Madrigal house could make a fine adventurer’s pocket watch. 

And the new time turner hourglass could be similarly useful.

That would be great!

The newspaper boy from CMF series 24 might be very useful for a 1920/1930s Adventurers' setting.

The koala and zookeeper's legs are also useful!

The head of the referee can be used for a female agent with headset.

Set 80044 - Monkie Kid's Team Hideout - fits perfectly into the Adventurers' Orient Expedition as a Himalayan setting. I need that set!

It does, aye. When I first saw it, knew the set had potential, just didn't know where to quite fit it. Yer idea solves it well. 

 

Here is a picture for reference:

To be honest, a lot of Harry Potter could be used in adventures in some form. For example, the Basilisk could be used as a giant anaconda in a jungle adventure, the Hogsmead/Shrieking Shack sets could be a village on a mountain expedition, or Fluffy could be used as Cerberus in a Greek themed adventure. And Gringotts with it’s mine carts and treasures is basically the Temple of Doom.

Those dark blue rock pieces made me instantly think of Aquazone rocks.

Good point! And combining it with the CMF S8 diver:

I really should get around to building that set, bought it on sale months ago

[Peppermint_M]

New CMF series has handy parts. The newsie boy cap and torso would be useful for adults and the whole figure fits a Mike or Short Round esque character. 

The Koala handler legs are useful too. 

[Peppermint_M]

So, new Indy sets are popping up on the internet and of course, they will fully supply adventurers whether you retro-fit it with Johnny Thunder in place of Dr. Jones or populate it with others. 

The Disney 100 CMF series has a new compass piece.

[Peppermint_M]

So Dreamzzz has a few nice accessories that will work well in Adventure builds. A new backpack that looks useful and the arms to strike a pose. A no brainer is Yavin base, as it is an actual ancient site IRL, Tikal is super cool and it would be easy to dress the structure up.
