Minifigure – Walter Model German Field Marshal (LEGO Compatible)

This minifigure is labeled by the manufacturer as representing Walter Model, a German Field Marshal (Generalfeldmarschall) from World War II.

However, it is important to note that this specific figure is a different interpretation of the character. Unlike other, more accurate representations, this one does not feature Walter Model’s signature monocle. While the uniform and decorations are appropriate for a high-ranking general like Model, the absence of his most famous personal feature makes this figure also suitable as a generic German general from the era.

The item in the picture is a single, highly detailed toy minifigure which, as the text at the bottom indicates, is a military building block figure that requires some assembly. Its features include:

• The figure is wearing the uniform of a German general officer, which consists of a grey tunic and trousers with the wide, red “lampasse” stripes running down the side, a distinction exclusive to generals.
• The main head shown wears a black high-peaked officer’s visor cap (Schirmmütze) with printed insignia. The rear-view image displays an alternate head wearing a grey field cap, suggesting it may come with options.
• The printed decorations on the tunic are very detailed, including the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross at the neck, as well as numerous other badges and medal ribbons on the chest.
• This figure has a more articulated body style than a standard minifigure, with enhanced joints at the shoulders.
