Have you ever seen a collectible action figure in a toy store and thought, "I wish there was one of me!"
Well, now there can be — and you don’t need to hire a 3D artist or graphic designer.
Using AI tools like ChatGPT with image generation, I turned a casual selfie into a store-shelf-worthy action figure concept — complete with toy packaging, accessories, and a startup founder vibe. In this guide, I’ll show you how you can do the same.
✅ ChatGPT (or any AI image generator) that supports image uploads and prompt-based generation.
✅ A clear selfie (nothing fancy—your front-facing photo will work).
✅ Optional: Screenshot tools or a design editor to add finishing touches.
Start by uploading a clean, front-facing photo of yourself into ChatGPT (or your preferred AI tool).
⬇️ Upload Screenshot Example:
Make sure your photo has good lighting, no heavy filters, and shows your full face clearly.
Next, paste your customized version of the prompt. Here’s mine for inspiration:
Create a 3D action figure toy concept of me, styled like it's being sold in stores, packaged inside a transparent blister pack with clean, minimal cardboard backing. Think cute-yet-professional, like a collectible Mattel-style toy.
The figure should reflect my relaxed and confident vibe—friendly smile, casual but cool pose, startup founder energy wearing a black hoodie.
Packaging is minimal, matte cardboard tones with soft shadows and clean lines.
On top of the packaging:
Big Bold Text – “AI (Aalsi Insaan)”
Subtext below – “Harsh Vishwakarma”
Include supporting accessories placed neatly beside the figure—like a silver Lenovo laptop, a chai cup, Laravel logo, PHP logo, GitHub logo.
Cartoon style, but still sharp and aesthetic—not too childish.
⬇️ Prompt Typing Screenshot Example:
In just a few seconds, the AI will generate a toy-style image of you — posed inside a toy box, accessories in place, clean packaging around you.
⬇️ Final Output Example:
This was my result: a startup-me in toy form, holding a cup of chai and standing next to my digital gear. 😄
If something feels off (like the pose, colors, or expression), just reword the prompt slightly:
Add “dynamic pose”
Say “grinning with teeth” or “soft smile”
Tweak accessory layout or placement
Creating your own toy-style AI figure isn’t just a cool trick — it can be a creative way to:
🎯 Build a unique personal brand
🧵 Stand out on LinkedIn or Twitter
🎁 Gift friends or teammates personalized avatars
📦 Design fun merch (mugs, posters, stickers)
