There's also this new whisk. This is one where you can actually combine a bunch of images here and then it sort of blends them together. Like, you can do a sticker enamel pen or plushie, but you can also start from scratch. You don't have to stick with the style they gave you. But if I, like, use this plushie style and then, let's see, I can pull in. We just pull in my, like, headshot here. I'll just drop this there. It'll generate, like, a plushie version of my headshot. I don't know why. My eyes are giant X's. Here's my, my. Oh, there we go. That one's a little better. There's what my plushie would look like. Kind of. Kind of want one. Honestly, if somebody knows how I can actually order one of these in real life. I'm so down. All right, let me look at this here. How can I get a plushie made from an image? Many companies specialize in creating custom plushies from images. Some popular options include bespoke plush, Child's Own Idoodle, and Budsies. Oh, there you go. You submit, like, a children's drawing and they make a plushie out of it. 89 bucks. That's. I mean, I guess that's not too bad.
