Steve Jobs Action Figure From In Icons Is Remarkably Realistic (PHOTO)

UPDATE: In Icons has voluntary decided to stop selling the action figure out of respect for the Jobs family, MarketWatch has reported. The company plans to return all money received from pre-orders.

It's probably only a matter of time before a cease-and-desist letter is issued to stop the sale of the newest Steve Jobs action figure. Until then, fans of the late Apple chief can enjoy these promotional images of the eerily realistic figurine whilst they await its official release. According to Mashable, Chinese toy company In Icons plans to begin selling the dolls in February for $99.

For the 12-inch Jobs action figure, In Icons again teamed up with Hong Kong-based toy manufacturer Dragon In Dreams, with whom they co-created a popular Barack Obama action figure back in 2008.

Like its predecessor, this new figure bears a creepily close resemblance to its source, right down to Jobs' trademark turtleneck and glasses.

According to In Icon's promotional page for the toy, features of the doll include:

• One realistic head sculpt & Two pairs of glasses
• One highly articulated body & Three pairs of hands
• One black turtleneck & One pair of blue jeans
• One black leather belt & One chair (wood + metal)
• One pair of black socks & sneaker
• Two apples (One with a bite.)
• One piece of "ONE MORE THING" hard backdrop

Sounds like a toy made in fanboy heaven, but only if fans can get their hands on the item before the Jobs family or Apple orders production halted. A previous bobblehead-type Jobs doll was taken off the market after Apple slapped Chinese toy company M.I.C. Gadget with a cease-and-desist order based on claims of copyright infringement, according to PC Magazine.

In the likely event the figurine is retired before it can hit shelves, Jobs fans can still enjoy the variety of Jobs tributes already out there:

Have you ever seen the postal departments ad about the clown the family orders for Christmas and needs to return it because the doll is just creepy? Well that's all I could think of when I saw the Steve Jobs doll. Just very creepy

Cool! Now I have an action figure who can help my G.I. Joe download apps to his iPad.

Sorry, I have no interest in buying this action figure. The last doll I played with was a Barbie Doll that belong to my big sister - however the Barbie DOLL met her demise after i blew her up using firecrackers , while in her car way back in the 60's. It was actually pretty cool the doll and toy car must have went ten foot in the air. Never the less my big sister gave me a severe beating when she found out what I did. I never did like that stupid doll, so sorry I have to pass on the Job's doll too.

I think a Donald Trump action figure with a comb over hair style and it says you're FIRED is perfect.

There already is such a thing! Trump has an "Apprentice" talking doll. Ebay is crawling with them.

Really, I was hoping for a BILL GATES action figure. Maybe they should make action figures for the guy that developed facebook, the guy that developed girls gone wild and make it like wwe fight.
I say everyone should have their own action figure no matter what your occupation is.

It comes with Kung Fu grip and it can sue anyone faster than a speeding bullet.

It does not only come with Kung Fu grip, but it can sue anyone faster than a speeding bullet.

Look, I'm an Apple fan, and Steve Jobs was a cool guy, but an action figure? Action figures of superheroes or characters are one thing, but action figures of real people are a bit creepy.

I love anything Apple but this is odd. It is priced like an Apple product.

That is a doll. A DOLL!!!
And anyone that spends $99 on this is like any other Apple fan, paying too much just for the name.

Actually, that isn't an uncommon price for detailed action figures, believe it or not. Some cost far more than that.

For just $99 I don't want his action figure, they are just a piece of idiot idol. For $99 for a share of his billions, I would consider?

This Steve Jobs doll is creepy. He will forever have impact on our
world but this isn't exactly what I'd call paying homage - it is more
like a voodoo doll... Oy!
