Apple's law firm has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the company, stating the product violated the use of its copyrights and trademarks and requested the company immediately stop the marketing and sale of this figure.

The toy has already gained much attention from shoppers and on the Internet as it is holding iPhone incorrectly, showing the signal loss on the iPhone 4.
