USMC Pacific Storm Squad WWII – Custom Printed Brick Block Figure

The Assault & Medical Specialists

• WWII USMC Thompson Gunner (Far Left): Identification & Description: This Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) is equipped for close-quarters combat, easily identified by the 5-cell Thompson magazine pouch printed across his waist. He wears a “Frog Skin” camouflage M1 helmet, a tan P41 Utility Jacket over a green undershirt, and sage green HBT trousers with muddy “boondocker” boots. His distressed face print features a red combat scrape. Historical Background: In the dense jungles of the Pacific, Marine Squad Leaders relied on the high fire rate of the Thompson submachine gun to clear entrenched Japanese bunkers.

• WWII US Navy Hospital Corpsman (Center Left): Identification & Description: This combat medic is distinguished by his Red Cross armband and the olive-drab U.S.N. medical satchel slung across his chest. He shares the same mixed-utility uniform and Frog Skin helmet as the infantry, but features a composed, clean face print. Historical Background: The Marine Corps relied entirely on Navy Hospital Corpsmen for medical support. These brave medics landed with the assault waves, often becoming deliberate targets for enemy snipers while saving wounded Marines.

The Rifleman & Support Gunner

• WWII USMC Infantryman (Center Right): Identification & Description: Representing a standard Marine rifleman, this figure features prominent silver dog tags and a highly detailed M1 Garand ten-pocket cartridge belt. He sports a battle-weary expression and the signature mixed tan-and-green utility uniform. Historical Background: Because supply lines were stretched across the vast Pacific Ocean, Marines frequently fought in whatever gear survived the elements, making this mismatched uniform a historically accurate hallmark of the island-hopping campaigns.

• WWII USMC Ammo Bearer (Far Right): Identification & Description: This heavy weapons support Marine is draped in crisscrossing belts of .30 caliber ammunition. He also carries an M18 colored smoke grenade on his web belt. Like the Thompson gunner, his face bears a red combat scrape. Historical Background: To fend off banzai charges and suppress fortified pillboxes, squads relied heavily on crew-served weapons like the M1919 Browning. Ammo bearers carried immense weight to keep these critical weapons firing.
