Steve Jobs Action Figure Looks Remarkably Like The Late Tech Guru

Steve Jobs Action Figure

The Steve Jobs action figure... Well it had to happen sometime, didn't it?

Thanks to the action figure creators "In Icon", the much-loved Apple co-founder and general very clever person Steve Jobs is now available to buy in a smaller, more plastic form.

Many have already complained that it's "too soon" - and knowing Apple's legal team, the chance of it being totally authorised is not that likely - but there's no denying it... it's a pretty good likeness.

It's certainly more lifelike than Steve Jobs' first bronze statue, whose appearance resembled a very worried old man rather than the black turtlenecked demi-God the internet loves to love.

If you want to get your hands on your own action figure of the big man, you'll be able to order one in February for $99.99 / £65.00 (plus postage and packaging) from their website, inicons.com. Whether it'll survive a number of copyright issues remains to be seen, however...

I think people are making much too much of Steve Jobs. He was a creative business man who produced innovative products. Let's not get carried away.

All due respect to Steve Jobs, the following is in no way meant to disrespect his no longer being alive...that being said, insert Apple-derived jokes here:

Hold off until the next version...which will be out approximately 13 minutes after you take delivery of this version.

Once enough of these are sold, an 'update' will bring them to life and they will destroy all of your Microsoft based products.

It's cool, but the only poses that it can be put into are all proprietary...unless you jailbreak him.

Wait for the U2 version, with limited edition red shirt and Bono frames. It will be no different from the regular version, except it will cost $500 as opposed to the regular version costing $100...and there will only be 20 made...and 15 have already been sold via pre-order.

Don't forget the protective screen for the eyeglasses to prevent scratches and cracks; it's a steal at only $38.95...each...and you'll need two.

That'd be a lot less creepy.
