The life-like Steve Jobs figurines are not going to be made after all. The company is backing off the plans, after pressure from Job’s family and Apple lawyers. In Icons had planned to sell the 1-foot-tall, lifelike figure, which was dressed in Jobs' trademark black mock turtleneck, rimless glasses and jeans starting next month. Any money received for pre-orders will be returned. The Apple co-founder died last October 5 of complications from pancreatic cancer.
