The real Steve Jobs may be gone, but at least now you can get a creepy, lifelike plastic toy to remember him by.
Toy companies In Icons and Dragon in Dream have immortalized the late Apple co-founder by manufacturing a lifelike 12-inch action figure complete with New Balance sneakers, a black turtleneck and jeans. The toy also comes with three sets of hands for some reason. One pair is in the pointed position required to operate an iPhone touch screen, though no prop iPhone accessory is included with the doll. It does come with a chair, two apples (one with a bite) and a backdrop that says “One more thing.” It’s certainly a lot less disturbing than the anatomically-correct Anthony Weiner doll.
The details on the figure’s head are pretty spot-on, and the whole thing is a very realistic one-sixth scale model of Jobs. It costs $99, and Jobs’ family is likely to step in and stop the company before too long. In Icons is looking to start selling them in the US in February, but it’s entirely possible that they’ll get slapped with a lawsuit and the toy will never actually come to fruition.
It would still be a lot better if it came with a mini iPhone and Macbook, though.
