AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description Vintage figurine representing a soldier, attributed to the Starlux brand according to the keywords provided. The figurine is molded in a small model format, typical of miniature soldier productions from the mid-20th century. It features a standing figure, in motion, positioned on a flat rectangular base visible on the lower part. The dynamic posture suggests an action gesture, with one arm raised and the other arm extended forward.

The figurine is painted in green tones for the uniform, with dark colored boots and base. The face and hands are painted in a flesh tone. A weapon is visible across the chest, painted in black or dark gray, providing a stark contrast with the uniform. The details of the sculpture, although stylized, hint at the folds of the clothing, the belt, and military accessories molded in relief.

The overall style of this figurine evokes the retro production of French military toys by the Starlux brand, appreciated for their colorful rendering and robustness. The hand-painted appearance, with slight irregularities visible in the color, confirms the authenticity of old manufacturing. The flat base allows the figurine to be easily positioned on a flat surface, for display or play.

On the visible side, no inscription, logo, or reference appears. The paint finish shows some traces of wear or minor chips, typical of a used object, but the overall appearance remains coherent and legible. The main colors are well preserved, with a predominance of military green and brown and black contrasts on the accessories.

The figurine is photographed in profile, which allows observation of the general silhouette, details of the uniform, weapon, and base. No dimension estimate can be given, according to the instructions, but the compact format is characteristic of small Starlux models for miniature armies.

Condition Used item, sold as is. Visible paint wear, chips, and usage marks consistent with age and handling. The overall condition remains satisfactory for a vintage item of this type.
