What better gift for the Apple geek in your life (or, heck, yourself) than a ridiculously realistic Steve Jobs action figure?
The 1/6-scale replica of the iconic Apple co-founder and CEO is coming soon from Dam Toys. In addition to boasting some highly detailed head sculpting, it sports Jobs’ iconic mock turtleneck, glasses, jeans and a slew of other nifty accessories to create your own tiny One Infinite Loop tableaux in the comfort of your own home.

Jobs, who founded Apple in 1976 with Steve Wozniak and Ron Wayne, went on to become the tech industry’s most revered CEO. And he bounced back from some big defeats, and even a banishment from Cupertino, only to claw his way to the top at Apple.
So it’s only natural that a Steve Jobs action figure is in the works.
Other accessories for the hyper-realistic collectible include interchangeable hands (or they could be the severed hands of folks who got on Jobs’ bad side). There’s also a leather-style lounge chair, a round table, an apple, 3.5-inch desk pieces, an old-school Macintosh (with keyboard and mouse) and a laptop.
There’s no exact release date or pricing available yet, but keep an eye on the company’s website for details. While there will be those of you who probably can’t understand why anyone would ever want an action figure version of a tech CEO, if you have any kind of collection of Apple computers, this could be the perfect centerpiece.

Not the first Steve Jobs action figure
This isn’t the first time we’ve reported on Steve Jobs action figures. Back when Jobs was still alive and running Apple, the company fended off Hong Kong-based M.I.C. Gadget, which planned to make a figure of Jobs in the guise of star-throwing ninja. That one was based on a rumor about Jobs being stopped at airport security for trying to smuggle ninja stars onto his private plane.
