A supposed U.S. military hostage featured with a gun to its head on an Islamic terror group's Web site is in all likelihood a plastic action figure, CNN reported.

The image first appeared early Tuesday from a group calling itself the al-Mujahedeen Brigade, claiming the captured soldier's name was John Adam. The group threatened to behead him if Iraqi prisoners are not released by U.S. forces.

However, there are no soldiers missing, the military said.

It also attracted the interest of Liam Cusack, marketing coordinator for Dragon Models USA, who said the figure pictured on the site is believed to be "Special Ops Cody," a military action figure the company manufactured in late 2003. It also appears the rifle was part of the plastic weaponry that came with the action figure.

The guerrillas did not post their intended execution date.
