Sellers in Singapore have pulled counterfeit Lego sets featuring ISIS militants off their shelves.
The made-in-China toys were sold on and offline, and at local online marketplace Carousell. The sets were recommended for children between six and 12.
One also includes a plastic figurine of a decapitated head.
These toys, described as “Falcon commando” sets, were priced between $3.80 and $25. They were sold on local online marketplace Carousell and at 8 Series, a retail store selling household goods, toys and other lifestyle items in People’s Park Centre.
Close to 20 of them were in stock on Tuesday evening when The Straits Times visited the shop, while there were two listings for the products on Carousell yesterday morning.
Another online retailer, Brick Generals, also sold toy figurines described as “militants” and “bombers”. One of them was labelled as “ISIS Jihadi John”, while a description for a bomber figurine read: “Extremist who enjoys blowing things up for fun. One day, he’ll blow himself up.”
The iconic toy company said that these toys were “in no way affiliated with the Lego Group.”
