A Lego-style figurine resembling an Islamic terrorist strapped with explosives is causing an uproar.
The controversial miniature figure is a bearded militant with a face-covering hood, a tiny toy assault rifle, a little grenade launcher and plastic bombs that can be attached to an explosives belt. It was created by Seattle-based Will Chapman as part of his BrickArms military fighters line.
Other figurines in the line are World War II fighters, U.S. Marines and even a Nazi SS officer.
LEGO issued a statement Thursday saying that the company isn't associated with the BrickArms toys.
