My son Andy found this and it was FoRK-worthy:

Custom Taliban or Al Qaeda soldier action figure. This figure is 1/6
scale for use with Dragon, Gi Joe, Ultimate Soldier and others. It is
 an original one of a kind customized head on an Ultimate Soldier
super soldier body. The head is a repaint of the Ultimate soldier
Mercenary head and has been filled with polyurethane to support
 the hand sculpted epoxy beard. The figure has a full stock AK-47
with khaki sling, an AK 47 accessory belt with 3 ammo pouches
and 4 accessory pouches. Russian back pack with detailed harness,
 bayonet and scabbard, belt, combat boots, Russian camo pants,
US ( extremely weathered) field jacket (just like Osama), custom
cloth khaki turban and scarf. This is a display figure with reasonable
 durability, but it is not intended for play. The U.S. hands have
been cut and hinged (like gijoe), the action is masked by black
 fingerless gloves. Guaranteed to be a unique custom figure, the
 beard was sculpted by me. Will not be mass-produced. The
 figure is not approved by Osama or the Al Qaeda and they
are surely not approved of by me. Give your troops someone to hunt!

The original site includes some pictures!
