Earlier this week, a doll that supposedly looks like Idris Elba was released.
The doll was created by a company called Emperis, and was on sale for £850.
It’s no longer on their website, but when it was you could put down a £100 deposit toward the doll.
People were...not so sure about it.
This doll is supposed to be Idris? Somebody getting fired.
Idris Elba? In which space-time continuum? https://t.co/1hEQzpsm29

The novel in my head vs the actual draft https://t.co/TRgqhT1hj5
Some people thought it looked like actor Romany Malco, who responded to say he was done with everyone.
I'm done with ALL of ya'll! https://t.co/QRh25VZbzb
Sharing the photo to Instagram, Malco said: “Thanks but I'm good.”
Other people thought it looked like Montel Williams.
@courtdanee2 @iesha_irene If this ain’t brother Montell Williams
Including Elba himself.
Williams saw the doll and said his Instagram went bananas.
@ShomariHines Imagine my shock when my Instagram went bananas... I’m not that cool - my Instagram doesn’t go bananas unexpectedly.
He replied to Elba’s tweet of his photo and asked if he had known the doll was coming.
@idriselba Lol I was meaning to ask you if you knew this doll was coming?
@idriselba @Montel_Williams, @idriselba & @TeamRomany looking at each other like...
