Vintage retro Starlux soldier figurine, old green military, used item

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

This figurine depicts a soldier in military uniform, standing on a rectangular green base. The figure is dressed in an olive green uniform, typical of old military figurines, with brown boots and a visible belt. He wears a distinctive red beret and holds a dark-colored object in his hands, positioned at shoulder height, evoking a military device or accessory. The facial expression and dynamic posture reflect the artisanal craftsmanship characteristic of Starlux productions from the second half of the 20th century.

The surface has a hand-painted finish, with shades of green and red well preserved despite some discreet signs of wear visible on the uniform and base. The figurine stands out for the realism of its posture and the precision of the painted details, particularly on the face and accessories. No markings or inscriptions are visible on the displayed side.

The flat base and the soldier's slender silhouette contribute to the stability of the piece, ideal for display on a shelf or in a showcase dedicated to old military figurines. The whole offers an authentic retro look, characteristic of Starlux toys, renowned for their faithful rendition of uniforms and accessories from different eras.

The paint, although patinated by time, retains crisp hues, and the contrast between the green uniform and the red beret immediately catches the eye. The general style evokes French productions from the 1950s to 1970s, a period during which Starlux established itself as a benchmark in the manufacture of military and historical figurines in France.

The figurine is presented as it appears in the photo, with no additional accessories visible. The overall condition remains correct for a used item of this era, with some traces of use that do not affect the structural integrity of the piece.

Condition: Used item, sold as is with visible signs of wear on the paint and base. Authentic piece, as shown in the photos.
