Steve Jobs replica doll is eerily accurate, also quite illegal

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Legend Toys has made a painstakingly accurate figurine of the late Apple CEO which depicts Steve Jobs sitting on a leather chair. Selling for $199 and available for preorder, the figurine is 12" tall, sports the trademark black mock turtleneck, jeans and New Balance sneakers which are all extremely detailed.

Video: A scene from the upcoming Steve Jobs "jOBS" biopic

ET Online got hold of this scene from the upcoming Steve Jobs biopic titled jOBS which stars Ashton Kucher in the title role. This scene shows Jobs and Woz (Josh Gad) about to invent the personal computer for the rest of us. The jOBS biopic which will hit theatres on April 19th and focuses on various moments in the Apple founders life between 1971-2001. Kucher seems to have captured the gait and some of the manners of Steve Jobs, we can also see flashes of the intensity of his character. Another Steve Jobs biopic, to be penned by Aaron Sorkin is also currently under development but hasn't been cast yet.
