Steve Jobs, fantastic in plastic (pictures)
Japan's Legend Toys is back with another jaw-dropping, ultra-realistic Steve Jobs action figure. The Young Steve Jobs brings you back to the late '70s and early '80s.
Visionary
Japanese toymaker Legend Toys turned plenty of heads in 2012 when it released an ultra-realistic rendition of Steve Jobs as a 12-inch-tall action figure. Complete with its own leather chair and multiple accessories, the mini-Jobs had lovingly detailed facial features, clothing, and accessories.
Legend's latest creation is the Young Steve Jobs, another foot-long figure with remarkable authenticity. It's available in two versions, a Jobs from the late 1970s, and another from the early 1980s.
Dapper doll
The Young Steve Jobs strikes a chic pose in this double-breasted suit and recalls early photos of Jobs himself. The clothing was tailored by Japanese doll expert Yuko Nakamori.
Apple exec
A close-up view of the '70s Jobs shows the details of the face sculpting, as well as an apple that comes as an accessory.
Birth of the turtleneck
The early 1980s version of the Young Steve Jobs figure sports the signature turtleneck and jeans. Jobs' death reportedly precipitated a run on the mock black turtlenecks made by Minnesota manufacturer St. Croix.
Salesman
This early 1980s version of the Young Steve Jobs action figure has the Apple founder posing with a recreation of the Apple I.
The Apple I
Apple's first product has been redone in miniature for the Young Steve Jobs figure. It's a lavishly detailed reproduction in laser-cut, engraved wood.
The older Jobs
Legend Toys' first Steve Jobs figure was an amazingly lifelike version of Jobs in his later years. It comes with a leather chair and interchangeable hands.
Accessories
Some of the accessories that come with Legend Toys' first Steve Jobs figure include bendable hands, eyeglasses, and, of course, a plastic apple.
IIc style
Part of the fun of having a Steve Jobs figure is you can pose it in all kinds of situations. I couldn't resist digging out my old Apple IIc and snapping a photo.
GI Jobs
Of course, 12 inches is also the scale of vintage GI Joe action figures. Naturally, their uniforms fit the Steve Jobs figure. Here's Jobs striking a military pose with a very early mobile phone.
Bestseller
The Jobs action figure seems at home in all sorts of settings, from bookshelves to desktops to mantlepieces. It's fun for photography and certainly makes a good conversation piece.
