Missing the late, great Apple co-founder Steve Jobs? Well, for $99.99 you can hang out with him ... sort of. Chinese company InIcons has created an unauthorized replica of Jobs, complete with his trademark black turtleneck, rimless glasses and jeans, FOXNews.com reports. Unfortunately, no iPad -- miniature or otherwise -- is included.
You have to look closely to realize this is a foot-tall action figure of the man rather than the real thing (the arms are the giveaway). The doll will also come with a stool and a backdrop that reads "One More Thing…," Jobs' catchphrase -- unless Apple's lawyers stand in InIcons' way.

"Mr. Jobs has not consented to the use of his name and/or image in the product," Apple lawyers told The Daily Mail. InIcons has reportedly halted pre-orders for the product, which is set to begin shipping in February.
Legal battles aside, we think this doll would make a great gift for the Apple fanatic in your home. Who knows, maybe it will even be worth something someday. Sure, some are calling it a shameless way to cash in on the death of an American genius, but Jobs respected entrepreneurship. What do you think? Is the doll a touching tribute, or totally tacky?

does it come with a "totally rip off everyone, die a millionaire and make all of the mac zombies cry" attached to it? sits at a desk all the time and occasionally gets up on stage in pre-hug mode, dropping buzz words like "different,awesome,special" like 900 times in a speech so we have to listen to all the mac zombies walk around saying those exact words repeatedly for the next five months?
You don't find it odd?

Oh, look, it's overpriced, just like HIS products!
