I'm used to seeing Timothée Chalamet all over my Twitter feed, but I was not prepared to happen upon an imposter this morning (AKA this ventriloquist doll of him that's being sold on Ebay):
I am gonna piss my pants
Here's a closer look.
The doll is being auctioned for $122,795.
Yes, $122,795. This is the description on the website:
You are bidding on a one of a kind, handcrafted Timothee Chalamet ventriloquist figure, dressed in a recreation of the Louis Vuitton outfit worn to the 2019 Golden Globes, complete with beaded and sequined harness. Head, hands and ankle boots were all hand sculpted and wardrobe was custom made. Figure stands 26 inches tall and also sits independently. Body is made of white pine, upholstered in foam and quilted fabric. Head is controlled from inside body (accessed from back) by a head stick, which is outfitted with a spring loaded head lock, to keep head in place when not in use. Makes a perfect gift for any occasion, from baby shower to bar mitzvah! Sorry, due to the very low price on this, stand is not included.
In case you missed that last line I bolded, it says, "Sorry, due to the very low price on this, stand is not included."
I'd like to note that it is a RECREATION of Timothée's Golden Globes Louis Vuitton harness, not the actual thing (or a shrunken version that the designer made for the ventriloquist?). So yeah I'm still at a loss on how the doll costs so much.
But the internet seems to be more concerned with how the doll looks than how expensive it is. Some people are petrified by it.
My therapist: The Timothée Chalamet ventriloquist figure isn’t real and can’t hurt you The Timothée Chalamet ventriloquist figure:
@thegoodwar @inkybuss This is actually what greets me during sleep paralysis
Some people are kind of into it.
Honestly if anyone is thinking about it, my birthday is in two months https://t.co/irW1Ne4hL7
And some people think it looks just like the movie star.
the doll isn’t even creepy that’s just how he looks like https://t.co/EyRdRzJcku
I personally will be thinking about Timothée #2 as I bolt my door tonight.
