"Mountain Research"? Okay, their DAFs (Dictator Action Figures - Maybe Henry Thoreau shouldn't be rolled in there, but there he is, courtesy the Mountain Researchers -) are dressed up for mountain climbing; they even have their packs. If Mountain Research is trying to tell us the world would be better off had at least three out of four of those characters actually gone mountaineering, instead of doing their durndest to ruin billions of lives, I'd tend to agree.
Does the kit come with little signs and slogans to incite the proles?
I can barely picture Thoreau climbing a mountain- but he'd demand a cook, valet, and laundry lady to go with him. (His "retreat" at Walden was well catered.)
Lenin would consider it beneath his dignity. Marx would be too busy getting drunk.
And Mao would want a sedan chair with several strapping Red Guards to carry him up the hill. And he'd need it, too.

My GI Joe figures can kick their asses.
