Description

This antique Starlux military figurine, shown in the photo, depicts a standing soldier in a dynamic pose, dressed in a green uniform. The item features a hand-painted finish, characteristic of Starlux productions, with detailed colors on the face, hands, and equipment. The soldier holds a weapon in his right hand, while his left hand rests by his side. The uniform displays molded elements visible on the torso and arms, reflecting the military equipment of the period of manufacture.

The rectangular base, also painted green, ensures the stability of the figurine. A raised inscription or mark is visible on the front surface of the base, typical of Starlux figurines, although the precise text is not legible in the photo. The pose and overall design are reminiscent of models produced for historical or military scene reconstructions, with attention to detail in the sculpting of folds and accessories.

The figurine features a dominant khaki green hue, enhanced with touches of red on the shoulders and flesh tones on the face and hands. The slightly patinated painting style attests to its age and gives the whole a retro character.

The visible surface shows some signs of wear and slight variations in the paint layer, indications of previous use or the passage of time, without altering the readability of the main details. No major chips or deformations are visible on the front and visible side.

This type of antique Starlux figurine was appreciated for its robustness and realism in depicting soldiers, and is still sought after today for its decorative appeal or to complete miniature historical displays.
