5976 River Expedition, released as 5976 Temple of the River Gods in Australia,[1] is an Adventurers Jungle set released in 1999.
Description[]
It contained 313 pieces, and 7 Minifigures. The set features a boat with Johnny Thunder, Dr. Kilroy, and Gabarro, fully equipped with gear including binoculars, sextants, and cameras. The set also includes a cave shaped like a monster's head, which contains the Sun Disc. A river dock and a falling axe trap are located outside the cave.
Background[]
The heroes and villains seek the Sun Disc hidden by Achu in the booby-trapped cave.
In the set's comic, Señor Palomar and Rudo Villano reach the cave and steal the Sun Disc. Rudo fires his revolver at a snake, and the loud gunshot catches the attention of Johnny Thunder and Dr. Kilroy on the river boat. The heroes corner the villains on a cliff, tie them up, and return the Sun Disc to Achu.

Notes[]
- The product description in Shop At Home catalogs and the online LEGO Shop misidentifies Gabarro as Harry Cane.
- The set's box has a flap showing more images of the set, a transparent cover over the set's contents, and a small text blurb in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. The text uses Johnny Thunder's English name in English, French, and Spanish, but translates it to Johnny Trovão in Portuguese.
