Apple Founders Immortalized in Toy Form

Apple Founders Immortalized in Toy Form
If you don't think your kids' medieval or outer space-themed LEGO sets are quite nerdy enough, up their geek factor with some new toys from PodBrix. The young company has become something of a tech celebrity recently with its LEGO-like toys based on everything Apple. What started out as an unofficial toy version of Apple's famous silhouette iPod ads has mushroomed into a (still unofficial) plastic tribute to the entire company.

Peruse the gallery below and you'll find a play set modeled after the infamous 1984 Super Bowl ad for the Mac, one for an Apple keynote speech and one after the iPod itself. The company's latest set pays homage to the early startup days of Apple when young Steve Wozniak and even younger Steve Jobs set out to change the world of personal computing. But, look closely and it seems Steve Jobs had his mind on other things.

Want one? This $39.99 set goes up for sale tomorrow night (8/29/07) at 9:00 PM EST, and only 300 of them have been made. Previous PodBrix sets have sold out in less than two minutes, so good luck.
