2Minifigure – United States Army infantryman from the Vietnam War (LEGO Compatible)

This minifigure represents a United States Army infantryman from the Vietnam War era, as you correctly identified. The Chinese character on the image, “步兵” (bùbīng), also translates to “Infantryman.”

He is a generic character, embodying the appearance of a typical American front-line soldier, or “grunt,” who would have served in the jungles and rice paddies of Vietnam. His equipment is all characteristic of that conflict.

The item in the picture is a single, detailed toy minifigure:

• He is wearing an olive drab uniform, which was the standard color for U.S. forces during the Vietnam War.
• His headgear is the iconic M1 steel helmet, shown with a printed camouflage net cover. This helmet was used by American troops throughout the war.
• The detailed printing on his torso shows the M-1956 Load-Carrying Equipment (LCE), which was the standard web gear for infantry. This includes the suspenders and ammunition pouches for a rifle like the M16.
• His face is printed with a determined, battle-worn expression, including scrapes and dirt, to show the hardships of combat.
