This is not the first Steve Jobs, but it’s definitely the most realistic. So realistic that it actually freaks me out. It’s 12 inches high (scale 1:6) and comes on full Apple CEO regalia, from the New Balance to the Levi’s.
If you are a freaky fanboy, you can get it for $US100 before the Jobs family send a cease and desist letter to the manufacturers, just like they did with the last one. It also has complements, although not as good as Obama’s action figure.
I’m not buying this creepy mini-Jobs. But if someone plans to release a full 1:1 scale Phil Schiller teddy bear, I’m game. [Inicons via CourierMail]
This thing can move. Here are two famous images. The iPhone doesn’t come with the feature, however.
Another two classic poses.
New Balance, Levi’s jeans, different hands and a keynote background. I’m sure many fanboys will not use this one, choosing to reenact full product presentations against a backdrop made of an actual Keynote presentation with all the original images, text and effects.

Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at 10:27 AMThis is just ridiculous! The real hero of ‘Apple’ is the Woz, he was the one with the tech knowhow, Jobs was nothing more than a glorified salesman, albeit a good one! Make a model of the Wozman and give’im Schwarzenegger’s body so he can kick some Jobsian ass!

Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at 8:22 PMHe may not have been as great a coder or hardware developer, but he was still there tapping on peoples shoulders telling them what needed to be done. Not to take anything away from Woz or anyone else at the company, but there are hundreds of brilliant ideas that pop up any day that are never realised because they didn’t have someone to drive them or the idea while good, never gets fully refined.
I find it hard to signal either of the two out. That said, Jobs drove the post 90′s resurgence of the company.

Wednesday, January 4, 2012 at 10:00 AMYou just described a slave master! You are right in saying he tapped peoples shoulders, he did it to get their attention so he could shout at them. Also those brilliant ideas, mostly other peoples that he took for his own!

Wednesday, January 4, 2012 at 11:29 AMThat’s true, he did patent ideas from his staff in his own name, but that was more a legal strategy in case employees departed Apple and took their patented designs with them. That being said, he pushed people to the brink. The CEO of Cornning stated that if it was for Steve’s bastardry in pushing them to make the gorilla glass for the iPhone (and a $150 mill in cash) they would never had achieved it within the 12 month timeframe., as it was only a small experimental glass idea at the time. Steve was a bastard in many ways, but his passion pushed the tech world beyond its own beliefs.

Wednesday, January 4, 2012 at 11:21 AMEven the Woz commented that if it wasn’t for Steve’s business/salesman accumen, there would have been no Apple Computers company. Woz was planning to give away his circuitry designs to home brew computer geeks. He also said if it wasn’t for Steve’s foresight, he would be a poor computer engineer still working from a garage somewhere. Woz is the computer genius, Steve was the master salesman.

Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at 9:41 PMReading the Steve Jobs biography at the moment, pretty damn interesting read as it fills in a lot of the gaps and nullifies a lot of the Apple vs the rest of the world vitriol that is constantly spewed.
