This image displays a custom building block minifigure representing a German soldier from the World War II era, likely from the Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK). The character is depicted in a tropical or desert combat uniform.
The soldier’s uniform is a tan or khaki color, appropriate for desert warfare. The detailed printing on the torso shows the tunic with four pockets, a belt with a buckle, and an ammunition pouch harness for carrying rifle clips. On the right breast of the tunic, a small eagle insignia is visible, representing the Wehrmachtsadler.
The figure is wearing a dark, weathered-looking Stahlhelm (steel helmet). The inset images on the left, labeled in Chinese, show details of the helmet from the side and an alternate helmet option. The first inset shows the side-view of the helmet, displaying the national shields or decals used by the German army: black-white-red on the right side and the army eagle on the left. The second inset shows a tropical pith helmet, which was another common piece of headwear for the Afrikakorps, labeled as “another helmet”.
The weapon the soldier is holding is a highly detailed model of the Karabiner 98k (Kar98k) rifle. This was the standard issue bolt-action rifle for the German armed forces. The toy replica has excellent detail, including a printed wood grain texture on the stock and a dark metallic color for the barrel and mechanism. The vertical line on the right indicates the figure’s height is 4cm.
