Apple ‘threatens legal action’ over Steve Jobs Action Dolly
The 12-inch figurine, which comes consummate with Jobs’s trademark dingy jeans, sneakers and smutty turtleneck sweater, was made by Chinese society In Icons and was set for release in February. Simply ‘their efforts get reportedly met with’ a legal challenge with Apple allegedly threatening to sue the plaything maker unless they cease trading.
The legal quarrel is over the likeness of the dolly to the former Apple founder, the rights of which the company claims it owns.
Apple reportedly stipulates in a letter to the Chinese manufacturer that any toy that resembles the technology company’s logo, person’s name, appearance or likeness of its productions is a criminal offence.
Online-auctioning site eBay is already selling the plastic dolly at $135 each. The normal retail price would have been $99.
The action design comes with a pair of smutty socks, some glasses, a leather belt, two apples (one with a collation demanded out of it), a bar throne and a “One More Thing” backdrop.
