There are music fans and then there are the music obsessed fans. The Keith Richards doll is an example of someone who is a music obsessed fan.

Created after seeing Keith Richards in concert, the Keith Richards doll takes its cues from the man himself. Wearing expertly simulated identical clothing, the doll stands 20”, is fashioned out of polymer clay and closely resembles the [Rolling Stones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rolling-stones-bitmoji-show-lens) guitarist. Heck, it even has a cigarette in its mouth.

No word on how the Keith Richards doll does when it plays Jumpin’ Jack Flash though.
