I don't think the action figure people have a leg to stand on. If the Onion had made up a prototype and run a fake ad, they'd clearly be engaging in parody. But selling figures of someone's likeness without their permission is most likely very illegal.
As for the other issue: Apple is showing its true character, which has always been a bit Big Brotherish despite the ironic ad to the contrary. (Which isn't to say that I don't love my iPod....)
