Read on to learn more about the new plushies and the mixed reactions from fans.@dabigmoistomment's comment on article covering the Plushie criticismDream's Collectible Blob Plushie has fans divided about price and designThe newly released Blob Plushie (Image via dream.shop)Dream has released a lot of merchandise in the past, with the most recent being his 29 million subscriber collection which featured hoodies, caps, and beanies. While almost all of the popular products on his merchandise website are priced between $35-50, some fans seem particularly ticked off because the plushie is much cheaper to produce than other products like T-shirts and hoodies.

There have been recent controversies surrounding the working conditions in some manufacturing facilities where other popular streamers were producing their merch. Given that, the streamer has already clarified in an earlier stream that the prices of his merch will be higher, as he wants to ensure that the people making the merch are getting a decent wage.melody • USMP 👾@dreamiestring@Dexerto literally none of the fans were mad he already explained why they would be relatively more expensive + said there will be more affordable ones soon. the only ones &quot;mad&quot; are people who don't like him and find something to complain about in everything he does37@Dexerto literally none of the fans were mad he already explained why they would be relatively more expensive + said there will be more affordable ones soon. the only ones &quot;mad&quot; are people who don't like him and find something to complain about in everything he doesBluie | Excited for TOTK!@bluie_c@Dexerto Uh, I actually bought one, pretty happy about it because I know the people making it are actually getting a living wage.Who's writing these?

He initially gained traction for his Minecraft content as a masked streamer, who only revealed his face in October of 2022, having started his content creation journey all the way back in 2014. The creator was accused of s*xual grooming earlier this year, with no conclusive action from either side since the accusations were raised in February.
