I'm curious about how this will affect this hobby. That's some good press right there.
Apple get all legal on DiD's ass over Steve Jobs figure

All I read was "doll", "doll", "doll"... 
Having that said, taking legal action over this is laughable. I can understand why, but seriously?
Then again, of all the unnecessary figures to make, DiD chose a man who managed to turn his raging OCD into a career (obviously not an iFan here, so there's a bit of bias there
).

I know there is a lot of hate for this figure, but I for one would have bought one. This is quirky enough to be in my collection and it's a good conversation piece.
My biggest concern is the attention this figure brings to DID. I wouldn't want it to affect those all those other figures that might or might not look like someone.

The real question is why so many people are puzzled that a company would produce a figure of a historically significant individual that will in all likelihood sell out.

The same reason we buy 1/6 of whatever the heck people make...
Who the hell buys 1/6 military soldiers? Same reaction.

I thought that Jobs is enough of an Icon that he is public property now and DID don't really need Apple permission to release a figure of a public figure.

Who here actually wants this figure?

Mmmmmm nup. I respect Jobs for his achievements, but from what I've seen of his personality he was a bit of a ******. I can't have a ****** on my desk or shelves.

Yeah he was a innovator, but myself wouldn't want this figure. Give me some real icons such as Team SEAL 6.

Did any of you guys order this? Has it shipped?

Not being an Apple fanboy (although some would think the contrary), I've already pre-orderd it through in icons/DID. I'm getting it for the novelty of it being offbeat and a good conversation piece 
regardless if Jobs did have a bad side.

It starts shipping late next month. In icons/DID has already stopped taking pre-orders due to the first batch running out of stock already.

yeah, really... perhaps they feel like they have to "defend" him sort of

That could be said for some celebrities Hot Toys and others have made.
Good point!
