Dream under fire for $50 figure of himself: “Worse than Funko Pops”
Minecraft star Dream is coming under fire for selling a $50 plush of his famous smiling icon, angering many fans over its price.
Dreamis one of the most prominentMinecraftcreators on the internet. At first, Dream was known as a ‘faceless’ content creator, meaning he refused to show his face online and instead operated under fan-made art and avatars.
At first, his avatar was a crudely drawn stick person with an adorably goofy smiling face, which was later used as a mask that he would wear in both real-life photoson Instagramand in fanart.
However, Dreamfamously revealed his face to the internetlast year, sparking a wave of both criticism and praise toward the YouTuber, simultaneously.
Althoughhe’s happy to show his face now,Dream continues to use his famous smiling avatar in his content. Most recently, fans picked up on a plush figure that he’s selling of this avatar on his official website, which iscurrently available for pre-order.

The plushie is officially called the ‘Dream Blob,’ and is a simple, pawn-like figure with a smiling face. It sits at 9 inches tall and has a weighted base. However, it isn’t the plush itself that’s drawing fans’ ire; instead, it’s the price point at which it’s been listed, which is a whopping $49.99.
Many fans have taken to social media to complain about the price point for such a small figure, with YouTuber ‘spatnz’ calling the product “worse than Funko Pops.”
Other critics took to Twitter to vent their frustrations, with one comparing Dream’s plushie to “that one f*cked up elephant plush from Diary of a Wimpy Kid.”
