Every one is doing it, but how? Have you ever dreamed of seeing yourself as a collectible action figure or do you, like me obsess about beautiful packaging? Thanks to a bit of AI magic, it’s now totally possible to turn your photo into a cute, cartoon-style action figure displayed in realistic toy packaging — no 3D printer or design software required!

Here’s how I did it (and how you can too!)

What you will need?

• A clear, well-lit photo of yourself (preferably front-facing with a smile).

• An idea of your personal style – what would your action figure wear? What accessories would you have?

• You will have to sign up for a free ChatGPT image generation enabled account.

Here’s the exact ChatGPT action figure prompt I used to generate my own action figure

“Please can you Create a picture of a 3D action figure toy, as if it were displayed in a transparent plastic packaging, blister packaging model. I would like it to match my branding as I want to use it on my instagram feed for my business tinydollhouse.co.za. My instagram handle is tinydollhouse_za. The figure is as in the photo, the style is relaxed, friendly smile. On the top of the packaging there is a large writing: “The Tiny Dollhouse SA”. Also add some supporting work items next to the figure, like a miniature cake, dollhouse, and a pink coffee machine. The packaging design is minimalist, light pink color, cute toy style sold in stores. The style is cartoon, cute but still neat and clean.”

The result

A fun, stylized action figure version of me, posed inside toy-store-ready packaging with my favorite accessories and a Jedi twist! It’s perfect for social media, digital branding, or even just a quirky LinkedIn update. You can prompt it over again to get a few different options. I used canva afterwards to add my own logo.
