Jobs Doll Cancelled Due to Legal Pressure

The 12 inch tall Steve Jobs figurine, previously rumored for imminent release, has now been cancelled. In Icons, the Hong Kong toy company that was producing the doll, cites immense pressure from legal teams representing Apple and the Jobs family as the cause for the cancellation:

Unfortunately we have received immense pressure from the lawyers of Apple and Steve Jobs family . . . Though we still believe that we have not overstepped any legal boundaries, we have decided to completely stop the offer, production and sale of the Steve Jobs figurine out of our heartfelt sensitivity to the feelings of the Jobs family.
