It is made in the characteristic style of Starlux figurines, a brand mentioned in the keywords and renowned for its models of soldiers and historical figures. The soldier holds a rifle in his right hand, painted brown with a silver tip, a detail typical of miniature military productions of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe molded and painted face displays a neutral expression, although visible wear is noted on the upper part, particularly affecting the paint on the face and skull. Clothing details include distinct folds on the jacket and trousers, as well as a sculpted belt. A round, metallic-colored accessory is visible on the right side of the jacket, likely intended to represent a grenade or a military canteen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe figurine rests on an oval base, painted green to match the uniform. This base is slightly tilted in the photo, highlighting the stability of the model despite the dynamic posture of the character. No inscription is visible on the front of the base, as the base is plain and consistent with vintage Starlux figurine productions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe paint shows a patina of use with localized losses, notably on the head, boots, and rifle. These signs of wear authenticate the statuette's antique character and attest to its history. The uniform, of a uniform khaki green shade, is enhanced with brown touches on the boots and rifle, while the complexion of the face is a pale flesh tone, typical of figurines in this series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe general style evokes Starlux productions from the 1950s to 1970s, with a hand-painted finish and simple yet expressive sculpted details. This vintage military figurine is a representative example of retro hand-painted plastic toys, widely distributed in France in the mid-20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
