Like the Han Solo and Chewbacca / Vader an Leia figures before it, Gentle Giant is giving the vintage R2-D2 figure the jumbo treatment. In this case, it stands at a full 7.5-inches.
It also comes packaged on a 1970s-style Star Wars-inspired blister card featuring original photos and ’12-back’ artwork.

Only massive Apple fanboys would be up to spending $160 on a Steve Jobs action figure, but some company is stupid enough to produce it anyway (despite the fact that other Steve Jobs action figures and products have been swiftly addressed by Apple’s lawyers).
At any rate, ToyHaven claims that this figure will actually see the light of day at some point, but we highly doubt that it will be available for long—if at all.

Plus, they are donating a portion of each sale to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. Check out more stunning pics after the break.
If the Iron Man storyline took place in the Victorian era, the armor may have looked something like this. Then again, if Stark was really ambitious it might look something like this action figure from toy modder Jonathan Kriscak.
