Minifigure – Chinese Eighth Route Army soldier World War II (LEGO Alternative)

This image shows a Lego-style minifigure.

The figure is depicted wearing:

• A blue-grey field cap with two buttons on the front.
• A blue-grey uniform (tunic and trousers).
• There is a lighter, textured pattern around the collar and neck area, possibly suggesting a scarf or the quilted lining of a padded jacket, which was common for such forces.
• Light-colored crossed straps over the chest.
• A brown belt with a simple buckle and a small pouch or holster on the figure’s right hip.
• Flapped breast pockets are visible on the tunic.
• The lower legs are depicted with white or light-colored wrapped puttees or leg bindings, over black shoes or low boots.
• A thin mustache is printed on the figure’s face.

Based on these uniform details—particularly the blue-grey color, the style of the field cap, the padded collar detail, and the puttees—and definitively confirmed by the filename “八路” (Bālù, which refers to the Eighth Route Army), this figure represents:

A soldier of the Chinese Eighth Route Army (八路军 – Bālù Jūn). This was one of the main military forces under the command of the Chinese Communist Party during the Second Sino-Japanese War (World War II) and the subsequent Chinese Civil War.
