You’ve probably seen it floating around on Instagram or Facebook — those brilliant little images where people are turning themselves (or their mates) into realistic toy box-style action figures.
Some are hilarious. Some are genuinely impressive.
All of them are weirdly addictive to scroll through (trust me, I’ve spent far too long playing around with it already 🥲).
And the best part? You can make one yourself — right now — in just a few minutes.
Here’s how to get started 👇
What You’ll Need
– A full-body photo of yourself (the better the quality, the better the final result)
– A free account on ChatGPT
– The prompt we’ve included below
– A few minutes of spare time and maybe a sense of humour

Here’s the exact wording we used for our toy figure images — feel free to tweak the accessories to match your own vibe!
Toy Figure Prompt to Use:
“Create a picture of a 3D action figure toy, as if it were displayed in a transparent plastic packaging, blister packaging model. The figure is as in the photo, the style is relaxed, friendly smile. On the top of the packaging there is large writing: “YOUR NAME”. Also add some supporting work items next to the figure, like COFFEE, CHEESE, and a PHONE. The packaging design is minimalist, cardboard colour, cute toy style sold in stores.”
That’s It — Your Toy Figure Awaits!
Once generated, you can download the image, share it, print it, or just send it to your group chat for a laugh.
It’s become one of the weirdest and most fun trends of the year — and we’ve loved seeing how creative everyone gets with it. Change the wording around as much as you like and see what you can come up with.
