Inflatable Mactoy!
I'm very surprised I never uploaded a photo of this guy, considering I've had him for well over a year now! While waiting on Inflatable World to start production on the mass-produced Mactoy design, I've had a few of these 'prototype' ones made! I put prototype in quotes because while this one does serve as a first prototype, you can also arrange to have your own purchased through me if you'd rather not wait for IW to complete and offer the finished inflatables! Mactoy is over 6 feet tall and super soft and snuggly <3
For info on how to get your own Mactoy like this one, shoot me a DM on Twitter (listed in my FA profile) or Note me here, though I check Twitter every day!
FOOTNOTE: No matter what I did, my submission file was uploading rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, despite looking correct in every image viewer I tried. The only way I could correct this issue was to crop the image a bit, then the cropped image uploaded properly. Every image I upload to FA that was originally captured with the device rotated vertically (usually a cell phone) has this problem. The source images even load into editors correctly rotated, so I couldn't even rotate them in an editor! How do I stop this from happening?

You can use Irfanview with its optional plugin installed to do proper JPEG rotation. (Shift + J). This is because orientation is stored two ways: pixel data and EXIF tag. Many cameras, instead of saving an image pixel data upright when taking a picture (which would take processor and battery power) simply compress the output of the sensor to storage and then add the correct orientation of the image as EXIF data (this JPEG was stored as-taken, please rotate it 90 right to put it the right way up). All well and good until whatever software displays the image ignores the EXIF rotation tag, and shows you the image sideways, making you think that it is sideways, so you rotate it. The EXIF tag stays, you upload the image, and suddenly it's the wrong way up because it has been rotated twice (once by you and once by the EXIF tag).
Irfanview allows you to "truly" rotate the image data and remove the EXIF rotation data.
