Just two days after sales began, the epic Steve Jobs (action) figure that promised instant holiday joy for hundreds of Macheads has been halted on command by Apple. The detailed Jobsian likeness, standing upon an Apple logo platform, was originally sold for $79.90 USD.
On Tuesday, a law firm representing Apple, Inc. issued an official C & D order to M.I.C. Gadget requesting that the wildly popular news site immediately cease the marketing and sale of their Steve Jobs figurine.
"I'm pissed off that I waited to put in my order," said longtime Mac fanatic Elam Nikserof, "I so wanted that miniature Steve Jobs figurine to sit on my desk right next to my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad. Jobs is more than an icon, he's my personal hero. It's a sad day for all Apple fanboys like myself."

Wonder how many they sold? This could become a serious collectors item...

As I remember him saying that he didn't want to be like God and people worship him.
