Apple is quite known for throwing lawsuits against there competitor for stealing their idea, but this time Apple Inc. is ripping of one company by ripping of one of its former CEO.
The Chineses company In Icons, recently created Mr. Steve Jobs action figure which stands at 12 inches tall. It features Jobs' signature black turtleneck, blue jeans, sneakers, glasses, and even has interchangeable hands to show his different movements. The doll also comes with two Apples, one of which has a bite out of it, a "One More Thing" backdrop and a bar stool.
The action figure can already be found on ebay for $135 and will roll out in February if Apple won't stop them.
According to Apple's letter to In Icons, the tech giant owns all rights pertaining to its founder, and the "likeness" of the doll falls under those rights. Toys that resemble the company's logo, appearance, likeness or someone's name are subject to a legal action if not made by Apple itself.
