Minifigure – Japanese Machine Gun Ammunition Bearer from World War II (LEGO Alternative)

This image shows a custom building block minifigure representing a Japanese Machine Gun Ammunition Bearer from World War II.

The character is wearing a blue-grey uniform. His role as an ammunition carrier is clearly shown by the two machine gun ammunition belts that are draped over his shoulders and cross his chest. This would have been a heavy load, meant to supply the machine gunner during combat. The figure has a distinctive sleeve insignia on the left arm. He is wearing an olive green Brodie-style helmet, which is historically unusual for a Japanese soldier. The minifigure’s head is printed with a dark face covering or mask over the lower part of his face and a small wound on his cheek.
