To participate in the AI action figure trend, which involves creating a personalized toy-like figurine of yourself displayed in collectible packaging, follow these steps:
- Create or log into a ChatGPT account : You need an OpenAI ChatGPT account to upload your photo and use the image generation feature
- Upload a photo : Upload a clear photo of yourself. A full-body image is best for accuracy, but a headshot can work if you specify the body details in the prompt
- Write a detailed prompt : Use a prompt that describes how you want your action figure to look, including:
- Your outfit and pose
- Accessories that represent your personality, hobbies, or profession (e.g., basketball, guitar, laptop, coffee cup)
- Packaging details like the color and text on the box (your name, title, and a subtitle)
- Style cues like realistic plastic look, smooth surfaces, and soft lighting
Example prompt:
"Create a 3D action figure of me, displayed in clear plastic blister packaging like a collectible toy. The figure should look like me and wear [describe outfit]. Include accessories like [list personal items]. Add bold white text at the top with '[Your Name]' and '[Your Profession]' underneath. Make it look realistic and stylized like an actual toy you’d see in stores."
- Submit the prompt with your photo : Paste the prompt into ChatGPT alongside your uploaded image and submit. The AI will generate your action figure image in a few minutes
- Refine if needed : If the result isn't quite right, tweak your prompt with more details or corrections and try again. Free accounts may have a limit on daily attempts
- Save and share : Once satisfied, save your AI-generated action figure image and share it on social media to join the trend
This trend is popular on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn, where people creatively showcase their personalities through these playful, collectible-style figures
. In summary, the key is to combine a good photo with a detailed, creative prompt describing your figure’s appearance, accessories, and packaging style to generate a fun, personalized AI action figure using ChatGPT’s image generation feature.
