Lin-Manuel Miranda fans seeking a little pick-me-up during quarantine are in luck — if they have at least $20 to spare, one Twitter user discovered.
Tee Rico by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the 'Hamilton' creator's "official artist merchandise site," according to its about page, is selling prints of Miranda's photos — including some select selfies.
Fans can choose between a selfie of Lin-Manuel Miranda with a snowcone or a selfie of Lin-Manuel Miranda biting his lip, among others snapshots, to keep spirits up during quarantine.
While prints cost just $19, a framed photo of the Broadway star goes for $79.
Miranda fanatics can also purchase Lin-Manuel Miranda water bottles, pop socket phone holders, magnets.
The nearly $80 framed photos (and some of the other merchandise on the site) are inspiring ridicule online.
"Checking out the lin-manuel miranda web store which features thousands and thousands of lin-manuel miranda products. many of those products are framed photos of lin-manuel miranda," Jack Wagner, host of the "Yeah, But Still" podcast tweeted to his 52,000 followers.
The post immediately received several thousand likes.
Wagner added that "thank you" cards are also available on the site for those interested in "sending [their] loved one a printed out picture of lin-manuel miranda with no context what so ever."
Another item available on the site, Wagner noted, is a poster in which Miranda sports a #YayHamlet baseball cap, in reference to an old tweet in which Miranda said a woman on the street congratulated him for writing "Hamlet."
Twitter users quickly descended on the store's offerings, with one quipping that "theater kids should never be allowed to get famous."
"There's no way this is an official store?? I'm stress sweating thinking about anyone approving this," one commenter wrote.
"Anyone who has bought any of these should be under 24/7 FBI surveillance but especially the 'Pillow' and 'Teen Lin' ones," another commenter said of the photos.
Another critic compared the site's offerings to a prudish OnlyFans account.
