Militants seize Ken, Barbie distraught!

So-called U.S. hostage appears to be toy

(CNN) -- A photograph posted on an Islamist Web site appears to be that of an action figure and not a U.S. soldier being held hostage.

Liam Cusack, the marketing coordinator for Dragon Models USA, said the figure pictured on the Web site is believed to be "Special Ops Cody," a military action figure the company manufactured in late 2003.

"It pretty much looks exactly like the same person," he said.


This is obviously a mission for the G.I. Joe force! Rescue Cody! Go Joe!

I wonder if we can get an official Hostage Rescuer GI Joe, who would just kick butt all over the place for this offence.
