tin soldiers
Miniature metal infantry
Tin soldiers are miniature toy figures of soldiers, traditionally cast from tin or lead and painted in military uniforms.
Children arrange them in battle formations or collect them as decorative items.
The phrase can suggest something rigid, uniform, or merely decorative rather than functional: politicians lined up like tin soldiers.
