When the 3A Toys AP-PEL Caesar was released, I was amazed that a businessman had become enough of a cultural icon to warrant an action figure – even if it was a tablet-toting robot. This 12-inch action figure of Steve Jobs from legendstoys.jp turns it up a notch or two, with its lifelike head sculpt, signature clothing from mock turtleneck down to the New Balance kicks, and sofa and apple accessories.
If you followed this series of posts from the toyhaven blog, it looks like this is an attempt to sell a Steve Jobs figure originally marketed by in icons that was ultimately stopped just yesterday, after pressure from Apple and Steve Jobs’ family. The repackaged figure lists at $199 (with shipping included), double the $99 price that in icons had for it, and swaps out the Apple products (iPhone and iPad) for a 1/6 scaled apple – likely an attempt to stave off more legal hassles from Apple.
