Which backpack are ye referring to?

The one from Miss Castillo? I think that's molded to the body and probably doesn't have leg connections on the torso

[Peppermint_M]

Hmm, it looks like it might be the case on this close-up.

It looks to me as if the arms are attached to the body while also attaching the bag.

Flynn Rider from the upcoming Disney Castle remake will make an excellent adventurerer!

Also, Mickey’s tuxedo from the upcoming 40600 Disney 100 Years Celebration GWP will be useful for an updated Dr. Kilroy.

The dark orange bowl from the CMF S 24 potter is in set 41749. So hopefully it will become available on PaB.

The dark orange goblet is already available on PaB: part ID 6420468.

Both are very useful as ancient artefacts.

 

 

 

Set 60367: The tan torso of the woman stepping down the ladder might be used as a safari dress:

Moon Knight froms CMF Marvel S2 is obviously an useful figure.

Classic parts:

The binoculars are available in tan:

Also the pith helmet in tan and DBG and the aviator cap in tan are avaialble on PAB (all three from the Indiana Jones sets).

 

And there is a very useful "top secret"-letter in Gringott's Bank (76417):

Now that's a cool part - we will get the classic pith helmet in yellowish green. It's in set 10329 "Tiny Pants". I need some of them ...

I was about to say this too. Would be fun to make a ghost adventurer or Baron Von Baron ghost with this. 👻

I think this minifig from set 71799 Ninjagoe City Markets fits quite well in an Orient Expedition setting because it doesn't have too much printing details but is more clean in a classic way.

The head and torso from the Natural History Museum curator are perfect for Dr. Kilroy (also, the head does not appear to have an alternate expression, so it should be usable with a pith helmet).

Good point! I am waiting a Long time for a modern remake of Dr. Charles Lightning.

The head is definitely useful but that ID batch on the torso makes the torso almost useless. Dang! (N.B. I had preferred the torso being white. This would have been more Adventurers classic. Doc Lightning appeared only in some Orient Expedition sets in gray [old gray that is], but white in the Desert, Jungle and Dino Island subthemes.)

The white torso is definitely iconic but for the purposes of the modular I understand why they went with the dark grey—not only does it feel more professional for the indoor job of a curator, but story-wise it is the last outfit he had. I like to imagine that the "modular era" of the Natural History Museum takes place "post-Adventurers" (1950s or so as opposed to the '20s or '30s setting of Adventurers), and that Dr. Charles Lightning has taken the role of museum curator after having retired from the adventuring life.

Speaking of which, the olive green color prompted a lot of comparisons to the latest "Haunted House" fairground set, but while that's sort of coincidental it's funny how both sets hearken back to the classic Adventurers theme!

For other parts out there: The Harry Potter calendar has a trapper hat in a darker colour, making it a little more useful for the adventurer aesthetic. There is also a new fedora styled hat coming eventually, if you have seem the pictures floating around the internet.

I'm still hoping we get a tribute figure as part of the CMF series - in a more classic outfit - either the braces/suspenders torso or green tank top - with a magnifying glass, jewel and some sort of map would be ideal.

The hat from the CMF25 detective would also be useful in Adventurers - a bit of a Casablanca vibe perhaps?

That has to be intentional! No other face print has come close enough. I'll have to get that minifig sometime to have a go at recreating him.

I’m so happy that there is Dr. Kirby minifigure in Natural History Museum, known as the curator in hat set! Now we hae Jungle Explorer (Johnny Thunder) from CMF Series 19.

what minifigure parts are we waiting on to update the classic minifigures?

Sadly not the case. But I think there's a pith helmet with hair 

[Murdoch17]

@Takanuinuva sadly, the only pith helmet with hair that I know of has a ponytail from Friends / CMF. It will not work with Kilroy.

No worries, it is possible to erase printing on one side of the head, though you will have to bid farewell to one of these expressions.

I agree with that story which sounds good!

But I have an other "problem" with the ID batch: It makes the torso almost useless for any Adventurers setting/display/MOC. I mean, we can't sent Doc Lightning to the desert or the jungle with an ID batch, can we?

An eraser will help me to remove one of the faces.

Buy two of this head and keep both expressions while erasing the other one. That's my plan ...

Aye, that is a good plan. 

 

That torso could mostly work in a museum scene with all the characters (before they set off on an adventure).

The dragon mask in the new Family Reunion Celebration set could be used for an updated Golden Dragon or Dragon Fortress Guardian from Orient Expedition.

The Adventurers treats keep on coming! Apparently this girl from the Ideas Orient Express is supposed to be Pippin Reed. She is not as recognizable as the new Kilroy or Johnny in my opinion since all the colors are a bit off. I think if they had made the hat white it would look a lot more like her, but the reference is appreciated nonetheless.
