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 photos on Instagram and in fanart. However, Dream famously revealed his face to the internet last year, sparking a wave of both criticism and praise toward the YouTuber, simultaneously. Although he\u2019s 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\u2019s selling of this avatar on his official website, which is currently available for pre-order.
