Toy soldier
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
According to General Staal of the Tenth Sontaran Battle Fleet, toy soldiers were "the playthings of children." He described the soldiers of UNIT as such. (TV: The Sontaran Stratagem)
The Albanians mockingly referred to the army of Mussolini's Italy as an "army of toy soldiers" during the 1939 invasion. This made the shame of defeat worse when Italy conquered the nation. (PROSE: Deadly Reunion)
