Terrorists kidnap action figure?!
The US army is investigating a picture of a 'US marine' who supposedly has been taken hostage in Iraq. They believe it might actually just be an action man doll.
An Iraqi militant website posted the photograph of, what they claim, is a kidnapped United States soldier. Doubts about the authenticity of the photo quickly arose.
No soldiers are missing according to the US military and the man pictured on the photo closely resembles an action doll made by a company called Dragon Models USA.
Spokesman Liam Cusack said: "It is our doll... to me it definitely looks like it is. Everything the guy is wearing is exactly what comes with our figure."
After searching their website I came up with this picture. The figure's not black, but his clothes match the clothes in the hostage picture.
