Haha, did I get you?

This is actually a new AI trend on social medias. People are turning themselves into action figures with ChatGPT.

Ever dreamed of seeing yourself as a collectible toy, sealed in a blister pack with fun accessories? Well, now you can do it with AI and make your dream come true! All you need to do is enter a good prompt and you’re a Barbie girl in a Barbie world! No design skills required. Easy and scary at the same time if you think about it.


Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create your own personalized action figure, ready to share, display, or just have fun with. If you try this out, remember to tag me at @Tingandthings_ or use hashtag #TingsFunThings on IG, and show me yours!


How to Create Your Own Collectible Action Figure with ChatGPT



Step 1: Access ChatGPT with Image Capabilities

Make sure you’re using a version of ChatGPT that includes image generation tools like DALL·E. This is available to ChatGPT Plus users.


Step 2: Prepare a Clear Photo of Yourself

To make the 3D cartoon version look like you, upload a photo where:

  • Your face is clearly visible
  • Lighting is good
  • You’re facing the camera or slightly angled
Tip: A friendly smile and expressive pose will help the AI create a cuter, more lively figure.

Step 3: Describe Your Action Figure Look

You’ll need to give ChatGPT a clear description of what you want your action figure to look like. Here’s a sample prompt you can customize:

Using the photo of me, create a 3D figure of myself in a blister pack, styled like a premium collectible toy.

The figure should resemble me in the photo, with [describe hair, skin, expression, etc.].

The figure should be posed standing upright wearing [describe your outfit, shoes, accessories].

Include these accessories next to the figure: [list anything from phones, drinks, pets, tools, etc.].

The packaging design should be [describe style — e.g. minimalist, retro, cardboard color]. Include my name at the top, a fun title or tagline, and a logo of your choice
.




Step 4: Upload Your Photo and Send the Prompt


Once your prompt is ready:

Upload your photo directly in the chat.
Paste your detailed prompt in the message.
Hit send and let ChatGPT work its magic!


Step 5: Review and Refine

ChatGPT will generate an image of your action figure. If it’s not quite right:

  • Ask for changes like different accessories, poses, or colors 
  • Update your prompt to be more specific 
  • Add or remove details to match your vision 

Step 6: Download and Share

Once you’re happy with your action figure image:

Right-click (or tap and hold on mobile) to save the image
Share it on social media, add it to your portfolio, or print it as a sticker or poster! 

Bonus Tips

  • Match a theme: Try seasonal outfits, cosplay styles, or superhero versions. 
  • Gift idea: Make action figure designs for your friends or family as personalized digital gifts! 
  • Use props: The more creative your accessory list, the more fun your figure will be.

Creating your own collectible-style action figure is a fun and creative way to see yourself in a whole new light. With a bit of imagination and help from ChatGPT, you can turn an ordinary photo into a playful, stylized piece of art.

That’s it! Now you can flaunt your own mini figurine. Have fun~
