What do you all do with the Adventurers minifigs you accumulate after buying a few sets? I find the models to be fairly interesting (mainly the Egyptian theme), and buy the sets based on the models. However, I now have a bunch of minifigs that I (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-00, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) My minifigs never/rarely stay in their original state. I switch heads and hats to give my Lego community different personalities. For instance, the baddie from "Spider's Secret" had a white hat that I thought would be more appropriate for my (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-00, to lugnet.adventurers)

The adventure minifigs, broken into composite pieces, are great for other things. I love the pith helmets for all types of period military and exploration uses. Most of the heads are useful in other themes. Most of the torsoes are good for other (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-00, to lugnet.adventurers)

I took a Rebel pilot body and the Bat Lord's head to make Smetlana Snarfskova the Free Brickistanian Cosmonaut. When she's not wearing her helmet, she's got a black ponytail to differentiate her from the other Cosmonauts. -Cheese (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) Hey, that was my plan! Guess I'll have to fall back on my plan to creat lancers with red ninjas wearing pith helmets and commanded by the Baron. Of course, with feathers added both the Johnny Thunder and Rudo Villano hats are also good for (...) (25 years ago, 27-Feb-00, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) For castle, I have used the Dr. Kilroy head with a majisto torso and a black peasant hood as a member of a group of scholars called the sages. The Baron's head made a good Wolfpack Ranger. (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.castle)
