Medicom Toy Revives Mountain Research's 'Mountain Man' Figure in Vivid Orange
Paying homage to Henry David Thoreau.
Mountain Research releases another version of its Medicom Toy Mountain Man plastic figure. While the last release saw the H39.5cm x W16.5cm x D16.5cm figure made from glow-in-the-dark material, this one opts for a vivid orange makeover.
The long-standing Mountain Man(s) series from Kobayashi Setsumasa pays homage to philosophers and historic leaders in the form of these plastic figurines — often depicted with outdoor/hiking gear. This time around, American philosopher, poet, and essayist, Henry David Thoreau is immortalized on an orange pedestal with his full beard, hiking boots, and fully-packed travel backpack.
Those interested in picking up this version of the Mountain Research x Medicom Toy Mountain Man in orange can head over to Trading Post where it retails for $225 USD.
