14 DAY TRIAL // Steve Jobs action figurines have always been popular. Mainly because they’re banned. And the reason for that is Apple’s legal department which seems to have a thing for suing small companies trying to make a buck selling plastic dolls that look like the iconic visionary.
Chinese company In Icons had scheduled a February release for their extremely well crafted Steve Jobs figurine. Apple’s lawyers, however, thwarted their plans stipulating in a letter to the manufacturer that rolling out any product that resembles “the company's logo, person's name, appearance or likeness of its products” will be deemed a criminal offense, according to The Telegraph.
The doll, which bears an uncanny resemblance to the late Apple CEO, was going to sell for $99, complete with spare socks, glasses, a leather belt, two apples (one with a bite taken out of it), a "One More Thing" backdrop, and even a bar stool.
