Barbie has famously undertaken every profession imaginable, but there can only be one toy CEO of Apple Inc. -- and that job belongs to this Steve Jobs figurine. Now you can imagine yourself as the head of the innovative company that gave the world iPods, iPhones, and MacBooks.
The Steve Jobs figurine stands 12 inches tall and is an accurate 1/6 recreation of the face of Apple Inc. I think it's pretty hilarious that they even gave him his standard attire of a black turtleneck, faded jeans and New Balance sneakers. But what would truly be a laugh-out-loud sight would be watching a child playing with this Steve Jobs figurine, pretending to unveil the latest Apple gadgets to an audience of action figures.
