Vintage Starlux soldier figurine, retro army green military statuette

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

An antique figurine depicting a soldier, attributable to the Starlux brand according to the keywords. The object, visible from the front and slightly from the side, presents a dynamic posture: the character is standing, legs apart, holding a black rifle in both hands, ready to shoot. The figurine rests on a flat rectangular base, typical of miniature soldier productions from the mid-20th century.

The statuette is primarily khaki green for the uniform, including the trousers, shirt, and boots. The arms and face are painted in a flesh tone, while the character's beret or helmet is brick red. The sling-worn weapon is black, sharply contrasting with the rest of the figurine. The uniform details, such as the folds, belt, and sleeves, are molded in relief and carefully painted, highlighting the manufacturing quality characteristic of Starlux models.

The figurine's surface shows a slight patina, revealing some signs of wear on the paint, particularly on prominent areas such as the head or arm extremities. No major chips or breaks are visible on the exposed parts. The perfectly rectilinear green base ensures good stability for the statuette.

This type of retro military figurine is characteristic of toys produced in France from the 1950s-1970s, recognizable by their simple yet expressive style and their matte color palette. The object shows no legible inscription on the visible face, nor any apparent marking.

The figurine is ideal for decorating a shelf, display case, or desk, bringing a vintage and authentic touch to any decorative space. Its retro appearance and hand-painted finish make it a beautiful example of period military toys.

Condition: Used item sold as is. Visible signs of wear, particularly on the paint of prominent areas, with no apparent structural defects on the presented face.
