YouTube family selling $350 replica of their child as merch The Ingham Family \/ Famous BirthdaysThe Ingham Family, a YouTube channel with over 1.2 million subscribers, is selling a lifelike replica of their child Jace for $350 as merch for fans. It\u2019s not a surprise to see a YouTuber or online personality sell their own merch but most of them focus on clothing, coffee mugs, and other things of that nature. However, The Ingham Family decided to push the boundaries by selling a replica of their child to fans in what has turned out to be a controversial move. 600As pointed out by FFWD, the family announced they were coming out with a 19-inch recreation of their youngest son Jace. This doll captures Jace when he was just two weeks old and comes with three different outfits for you to dress him up in. It will cost consumers $350 and was revealed in a video back in July. This has caused some controversy as fans wondered if it\u2019s ethical to sell a recreation of your child. More than one person has pointed out how it\u2019d be weird for the child to Google their name one day just to realize they were sold as merchandise for their family\u2019s YouTube. 600Upload Merch, a company that ships YouTube merchandise to fans, is prepared to send over 150,000 items this holiday season, but their founder thinks the child replica is crossing lines. \u201cSelling a replica of a two-week-old baby crosses the line in my opinion and it\u2019s surprising that the Ingham Family are comfortable with selling a replica of their child,\u201d said Stuart Jones to FFWD. \u201cI certainly wouldn\u2019t feel comfortable retailing a similar product for any of our talent.\u201d Right or wrong, The Ingham Family is going forward with this and it\u2019ll be interesting to see what type of sales they do. It\u2019s hard to imagine something like a lifelike replica of a child you don\u2019t know being popular, but in today\u2019s age of selling bath water, it\u2019s difficult to be too surprised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
