Anyone looking to purchase a Snoop on the Stoop doll for the holidays may want to hold off for a bit. Snoop Dogg shared a tweet, making it clear that he has no connection with this doll and he is taking legal action.
From what it appears, the Snoop on the Stoop doll is a hot commodity, and some shoppers are searching everywhere to grab one.
The doll is another version of the famous Elf on a Shelf; however, this elf character is wearing sunglasses with a blunt in his mouth.
Multiple online retailers are currently selling the item — but none are authorized by the rapper himself.
MuckyChris, the New Jersey-based 3D printing company that sold out of Snoop on the Stoop dolls, confirmed to The New York Post that he was contacted by Snoop Dogg’s lawyers.
Owner Chris Milnes said that although he sold the doll, other Chinese-based companies has been stealing his original concept and scamming buyers.
“Hello friends, I’m aware there is a Scam company taking orders for Snoop on The Stoop. They are even using my product photos! They take your money and disappear 1-2 weeks later. If you didn’t get Snoop on the Stoop directly from me (or Joseph @ Out of Step Offbeat Boutique) you can be sure it’s a scam.”
Snoop on the Stoop were being sold in 2 sizes: a 16-inch for $99.99 and a 32-inch for $199.99. As of today, all the items have been removed from MuckyChris’ website.
