This item is a custom-printed head accessory for a toy minifigure. As you noted, it is designed as a “military war soldier face” (军事战争士兵脸谱, jūnshì zhànzhēng shìbīng liánpǔ), and its style is perfect for portraying an older, veteran character.
The expression on the face is that of a grumpy, angry, and stern old man. This is clearly communicated through the combination of the deeply furrowed, angry eyebrows, the downturned frowning mouth, and the printed wrinkles on the forehead. It’s the look of a seasoned veteran who is displeased, cantankerous, or has a very serious and intimidating demeanor.
The head piece’s most defining feature is its distinctive facial hair:
- It features very thick, dark brown “mutton chop” sideburns.
- This style, where the sideburns are grown long and full down the cheeks while the chin and upper lip are kept shaven, was very common in the 19th century and is often associated with veteran soldiers and officers from periods like the American Civil War.
This head is perfectly suited for creating a minifigure of a grizzled sergeant, a cantankerous old general, or any historical character meant to look tough, experienced, and ill-tempered.
