Its spokesperson Camilla Pedersen was quoted by RT.com as stressing that the toys have nothing to do with the family-owned company.

“The product is not a Lego product – nor are the bricks in the set Lego bricks,” she said.

“As a company dedicated to inspiring and developing children, we would naturally never make a product like this.”

The RT report on Wednesday cited Perak schoolteacher Mahnun Mat Isa, who reportedly said last month that he had found the China-made toys and reported the matter to the police and state Islamic council.

“I came to know about it when my son who was playing with the toy showed me the ‘terrorist’ character holding a banner which displayed the words ‘Allah’ and ‘Muhammad’,” he reportedly said.

“I ask the authorities not to freely allow the entry of toys that touch on religious sensitivities in this country,” he added.

Kerian district police chief Supt Omar Bakhtiar Yaacob confirmed receiving the police report on the matter.

The RT.com report said the play set named “Falcon Commandos”, which pitches “information intelligence officers” against the IS jihadists, is part of a series of Lego-style toys being sold online via a Chinese retailer.

It said images on the set’s box show IS fighter figurines tossing dynamite sticks and launching a flaming oil barrel from a catapult, and a militant fighter armed with a chainsaw looking at a man’s decapitated head.

According to the Australian 9News website, the “Falcon Commandos” series has been seen on a major Chinese online retail platform which states it can also send the sets to Australia.
