Those cool orange boxes were sitting around everywhere at toy stores, and one of my fondest childhood toy memories is circa 1978 or 1979, when my next door neighbor's son, who was briefly back from college, saw me playing with my Adventure Team figures in the front yard, and said "Hey, wait a minute, maybe you'll like these!" He then proceeded to run upstairs to his old bedroom closet, and came back down with this big box of toys, which turned out to be nearly the whole set of just about every "first wave" mid/late '60s action figure line you could think of. '60s Joes and clones, Captain Action, etc. I was flabbergasted (can a 5 year old be flabbergasted?). They were quickly integrated into my daily adventures, seeing action until around '82-'83, when the '80s really came on and all my old toy buddies were closeted in favor of the "new hotness" of RAH, MOTU, etc. Sadly, all of that stuff is gone now, but the memories remain… Thanks, Adventure Team!
