One thing is certain: these dolls are now going to be super expensive. One is already for sale on eBay for $2,500; expect that figure to grow in the future.

That's a real shame, I mean I really can't see how the action figure is offensive at all, although if it's his families wishes then I can definitely understand it, Jobs was a great man.
seriously, an action figure? :S
fair enough if the family requested it
He's dead already. Let the guy rest in peace.
Hot dog! I know a few people who would actually pay that much (2,500) for one of those things too!
