Apple has threatened to sue manufacturer In Icons if the company doesn’t stop trading the doll, reports The Telegraph.

It comes with his signature New Balance shows and even has special detachable arms for putting Jobs in his classic poses.

Apple claims it has rights to anything that resembles the company logo, appearance or likeness of its products. That anything would extend to figurines.
