This minifigure represents an enlisted British Paratrooper from an airborne unit during World War II, also known as a “Red Devil.” The text in the image confirms this identity, with “红魔伞兵” (Hóngmó sǎnbīng) translating to “Red Devil Paratrooper.” This character is a generic representation of a combat-ready airborne soldier, equipped in the specialized gear used for parachute assaults.
His appearance is that of a front-line soldier, distinguished from other variations by wearing the signature camouflage smock of the British airborne forces.
The items in the picture consist of the detailed minifigure and his rifle:
- The toy minifigure is wearing the iconic red beret with the Parachute Regiment cap badge. His primary garment is the camouflage Denison smock, which was uniquely issued to British airborne and commando forces. The printed webbing over his smock includes large pouches designed to carry magazines for a Bren light machine gun, suggesting he could be fulfilling the role of a support gunner in his squad.
- His weapon accessory is a Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I rifle. This was the standard-issue bolt-action rifle for the British Army. Although his webbing is designed for a machine gunner, he is equipped with the standard rifle, a common practice in toy soldier sets to allow for character versatility.
