| Effect |
Enables additional voice responses |
The set includes the following items:
- Idiot Box, a headwear item;
- Steel Pipes, a miscellaneous item;
- Shoestring Budget, a miscellaneous item.
Equipping all three of these items enables additional voice responses and allows the Soldier to perform the Robot Dance taunt.
This set includes Halloween-restricted items and can only be worn around Halloween or during a Full Moon; at other times of the year, it does not appear in gameplay nor grant its effect, unless the server has Halloween mode enabled. However, it can be equipped at any time and can still be viewed on the loadout screen even when it is not visible during games.

- The name "Tin Soldier" is a reference to the late 19th century children's toy of the same name.
- The Tin Soldier plays an important part in the comic Shadow Boxers, in which the soldier uses it to infiltrate a meeting of Gray Mann's robots.
