I thought these were action photos of Steve Jobs until the very end when I noticed the ball joints at his wrist. Madam Tussaud meets GI Joe.
The company that planned to release these figures changed it’s mind due, according the the Silicon Valley Mercury News, to pressure from the family & from Apple.
“Though we still believe that we have not overstepped any legal boundaries, we have decided to completely stop the offer, production and sale of the Steve Jobs figurine out of our heartfelt sensitivity to the feelings of the Jobs family.”
You know you’ve achieved Icon status when they want to make a doll out of you. I did a search to see if there was a Donald Trump action figure and sure enough, there is, available for a mere $9.99. Am I the only one who finds this a tiny little weeny bit CREEPY?
