Minifigure – United States Navy sailor from the World War II – LEGO Compatible

This image displays a toy minifigure representing a United States Navy sailor from the World War II era.

The figure is dressed in a period-appropriate uniform consisting of a light grey shirt over a white undershirt, dark navy blue trousers, and a black belt with a silver buckle. The most iconic piece of his uniform is the white sailor hat, commonly known as a “dixie cup.” This type of hat has been a distinctive part of the U.S. Navy enlisted man’s uniform for many decades.

In his hands, the sailor is holding a black toy weapon modeled after the M3 submachine gun. Nicknamed the “Grease Gun” because of its resemblance to the mechanic’s tool, this .45 caliber firearm was developed during WWII as a cheaper and easier-to-produce alternative to the Thompson submachine gun. It was widely used by U.S. forces, including the Navy, particularly for shore parties, armed guards, and on various naval vessels.
