New photo Fans mock Idris Elba doll for looking nothing like Hollywood star (despite being priced at £850)

An £850 Idris Elba doll handcrafted by a British manufacturer has been mocked on social media after fans said it looked nothing like the Hollywood star. 

Dressed in a suave suit, the muscly plastic tribute almost captures the essence of the British actor - but the doll's 'evil' eyes and bald head have left many questioning what the maker, specialist doll makers Emperis, were thinking.

Elba was recently voted People Magazine's 'sexiest man alive' - but fans were not convinced the £850 doll really resembled the hunk from London.

Stunned Twitter users said they believed the creation looked more like American actor and Weeds star Romany Malco.

Others said the attempt at mirroring the actor, 46, was as bad as the infamous 'Cristiano Ronaldo statue' - the bust at Madeira Airport ridiculed for being nothing like the footballer.

Is it Elba? Questions raised over the Idris doll made to celebrate the 'sexiest man alive'. Emperis, the manufacturer, is a UK doll firm which makes the 'only handcrafted ball joined dolls in the UK'

The Elba 'lookalike' doll is made with a muscular chest and a dapper suit - much like the man himself 

The doll in various poses has been promoted online but the reaction was not entirely supportive of the £850 creation 

Some said the doll should be altered.

Tana Hargest said: 'This is supposed to be an Idris Elba doll.

'Instead, it looks like Ming the Merciless, aka Blax von Sydow.'

Another said: 'Wait that was supposed to be Idris Elba? somebody needs to fix that.'

A woman named Court was among the first to spot the doll with her tweet being liked thousands of times.

She wrote: 'This doll is supposed to be Idris? Somebody getting fired.'  

Another user added: 'Somebody made a Montel Williams doll and trying to pawn it off as Idris Elba.'

The £850 Idris doll was made by UK firm the Emperis which has also made models of stars such as Cher and Freddie Mercury.

Sales have apparently been successful for the company which said only two dolls are remaining with the rest of the stock having been sold already.

The Idris Elba doll was mocked online but the manufacturer said it has been so popular just two remain in stock after its release in October

Emperis was established in 2010 and is marketed as the firm behind the 'only handcrafted ball joined doll that is not only designed but also made in England'.

The firm says online: 'We have been making handcrafted fine art and fashion dolls since 2010. This has allowed us to turn our passion into a business but also transformed into a special kind of art form. 

'Together with sculpting skills and fashion design, it has given us an independence to express our sense of fashion and style, making us truly a powerhouse in the doll world' 

Elba, 46, has been tipped for a while to become the next James Bond.

The actor is yet to speak out on the rumours but teased fans when he performed a DJ set in London over the summer at Elrow, when he appeared on the stage playing the 007 theme tune. 

Representatives for Idris Elba have been asked to comment, as well as Emperis.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
