Description

The Decima Flottiglia MAS Infantry minifigure represents one of the most unusual and daring units of World War II. The “Xª MAS” was Italy’s elite naval sabotage force, infamous for their use of manned torpedoes, explosive motorboats, and other unconventional weapons. This minifigure, with its dark uniform and camouflage trousers, captures their distinct combat identity.

The Decima MAS were pioneers of special operations, carrying out missions against Allied shipping in the Mediterranean. Their underwater commandos successfully damaged or sank several enemy vessels, and their daring raids inspired the development of modern naval special forces worldwide. After 1943, elements of the unit split, with some joining the Allies and others continuing under Mussolini’s Italian Social Republic.

The figure’s detailed torso printing includes gear such as ammunition pouches, combat harnesses, and naval insignia, giving collectors an authentic representation of this unique force. The facial print — showing determination and grit — echoes the reputation these men earned as fearless commandos.

This minifigure is perfect for collectors interested in special forces history. For builders, he can be placed in underwater sabotage missions, coastal defences, or naval boarding actions. He stands as a reminder of the ingenuity and daring that characterized WWII’s most secretive operations.
