Though he wanted desperately to fight in World War 2, the Soldier was rejected from every branch of the U.S. military. Undaunted, he bought his own ticket to Europe. After arriving and finally locating Poland, the Soldier taught himself how to load and fire a variety of weapons before embarking on a Nazi killing spree for which he was awarded several medals that he designed and made himself. His rampage ended immediately upon hearing about the end of the war in 1949.

From Team Fortress 2. Check the bio page for more info and a fun video.

This is my least favorite of these figures, because it's so blocky. Miniland scale isn't easy to get detail in, but I did my best. Those are supposed to be 'grenades' on his 'bandoleer'.

The rocket launcher is pretty simple, but I never figured out a satisfactory way to put on the second handle. So the gun just rests on the left hand, faking it.

Here's everything I brought to the show. With much less space then last year I had to get a bit creative in how to display. Dr. Horrible got put in the back but most everything else was easily visible to viewers. To save space, and since I was on the edge, I attached the Order of the Stick mosaics to the side of Andy's Room.
Not as many people recognized the Order of the Stick as I would have hoped at a comic convention. :(

Here's a video fly-by I took of our display.
