A British toy manufacturer mistakenly created a Montel Williams doll that they named after British hunk Idris Elba. Despite the mixup, the $1,100 Idris doll flew off store shelves!
Black Twitter directed hateful tweets at the Twitter feed of Emperis toy manufacturer when the “Idris” doll was posted on the toy maker’s website.
The doll caught the attention of Montel who thought the doll was modeled after his likeness.
Montel tweeted: “Ok, so I guess I have a doll now.”
But others informed him that the doll was actually named after Stringer Bell, aka Idris.
Black Twitter accused the company of trying to make a fast buck by fooling Idris fans into believing the slow-selling doll was really their idol.
But it seems all the bad press had positive results, as the “Idris Elba” doll sold out quickly at $1,100 each!

Idris(whom I had the pleasure of working with) was slightly insulted when I was surprised of his confirmation of his other talent I asked him about.

Dead
Thinner. It’s a Stephen King movie. Funny stuff!
They probably thought it was spot on; whoever did it doesn’t have real friends nor good eyesight.
Lol….yew soooo wrong!!!!
Right…Only way they flew off the shelves is if an angry female customer did a long arm swipe and threw them all too the floor ?
That doll looks like CTG and Pappoose
In New Zealand, they announced that Spike Lee died at 95, instead of Stan Lee!
From the shelves to the trash

This looks more like Romany Malco and he still looks better than this doll.
In all honesty, he looks like one of those old debonair dudes that lived a wild lifestyle back in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s and is now living with that package. But STAYS clean with his fashion.
Omgggg….Cdfuu…the comments gettin worss
Never read it. Only watched the movie. I don’t too much do Stephen King (and his books) which surprised me because this movie was funny asf to me.
What the hell! That dont look like him.

Thanks. I’m going to check Hulu and Netflix.
Lmbo!! What Jimmy the Cricket cracker box this skinny troll came out of. That doll looks nothing like him. This is a joke.
Who on earth designed the doll? There are so many rugged action figures out there so I know it can be done.
WTF??… That doll don’t look nothing like Idris OR Montell!… I think it looks more like Romany Malco who played the player “Zeke” on Act Like A Lady.. Think Like A Man… Just my opinion tho!
LMAO!!
Off topic, has there been a medical minute on adult ADHD?
I screamed!!! *flatline*
Seems more like a mockery that a compliment.

YESSSSSSSSSSSS THAT’S THE ONE !!!!!!!!!

They must mean the Romney Malco action doll because that is who that looks like or possibly Montell Williams.
Exactly like him! I hope he bought himself a doll of himself ?

I am happy he got a action figure doll but it looks very metro sexual to me , they always try to emasculate black men. But if u speak on it.you will always be branded as a hater or you jealous . this is a maketing strategy feminize the Black male and make money off of the Love the people have for the character ….Love and Light
????????
Jill upstairs.
gotta ask racist person this question that made this action figure.
Looks like that farrah gray dude who be on instagram lol
Idris?
Lolololololol and they had the audacity to make his clothes on point so it would not look like they were hating or shading Idris. Ah well. Makes for a great back scratcher. Idris looks much better than that!

It looks like Romany malco. The dude that played mc hammer in the too legit to quit movie.
Lmfao!! I just said that ??
Exactly ??
This doll was on the recent Tales from the Hood 2 movie lol. On Netflix. Which was cray cray btw.
Looks more like Ralph Tresvant than it does Idris. Bwaaah……..
So if someone comes out with a doll that looks more like him then this one, they will be rolling in the dough, wish it was meh but, whatever im chillin…
That’s who I was thinking of…
OMG all I saw was the heading & didn’t read further & said in my head ‘That looks like Montel Williams, not Idris…and then as I actually read further I found out I was right! I am smart, I am kind, I am important.
I watched tales from the hood 2 and it was horrible.. it was no where near as good as the first one..
Hang onto them. They could be collector’s items one day!
“A British toy manufacturer mistakenly created a Montel Williams doll that they named after British hunk Idris Elba. Despite the mixup, the $1,100 Idris doll flew off store shelves!”
See… that’s why this is the ONLY blog I frequent. ?
What in the living —????
That’s the dude from the Tyler Perry movie?
That’s the black dude from Mad Dogs!!!
Looks more like Eddy Murphy.
This thing does not look like Idris.
What in the Mr. Gaines from a Different World hell is this???
Looks nothing like him

That doll looks like Zeke the freak!
Romany Malco comes to mind for me.
Exactly.
Spit out my coffee laughing TF that looks nothing like him!
The most surprising thing is that someone would make a damn Montell Williams doll for any reason. Does it have a motorized mouth and over dramatic recorded message?
