Snapchat is selling a stuffed animal version of its mischievous ghost icon

That's right: Snapchat is selling plushies of "Ghostface Chillah," the official name of the Snapchat icon, over at Amazon.
The stuffed animal is available in two sizes, small and large, and costs $8.99 and $17.99 respectively.
When we last talked to Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel about the Snapchat Ghost, Spiegel said. "He's a silly dude" and revealed that he drew the ghost icon himself. A big fan of hip-hop, Spiegel said he got the idea for the name "Ghostface Chillah" from his love of Wu-Tang Clan rapper Ghostface Killah.
If you're thinking about buying a Ghostface Chillah plushie, you won't have to worry about authenticity: Amazon lists Snapchat Inc. as the seller, so it's not some third party retailer trying to make a quick buck with a cheap knockoff. Business Insider has its own Ghostface Chillah in the office, and we can vouch that it looks and feels pretty good as far as stuffed animals go.
At the very least, it's nice to know that Snapchat has a new revenue stream to fall back on if its new Discover platform doesn't work out.
You can order your own Ghostface Chillah over at Amazon, and it's even eligible for Amazon Prime if you just can't wait.
