How to do the AI action figure trend

GVL_Action_Figure_Chatgpt_APR2025
If you’ve been scrolling on social media over the past few days, chances are you’ve seen people turning themselves into action figures, complete with accessories. It’s a new trend using ChatGPT.

Here’s how it works:
  1. Log into ChatGPT.
  2. Fill out this 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 a signature outfit]. Include accessories that match my personality or job, like [for example — a coffee cup, headphones, laptop, or other tools of the trade]. Add bold white text at the top with [your name], and [insert title] underneath. Make it look realistic and stylized like an actual toy you’d see in stores.
  3. Attach a photo of yourself and hit enter.
  4. It will take a few minutes to generate, and you may need to adjust the prompt to make corrections.
Pro tip: If it says you’ve hit your limit, don’t worry — it resets every 24 hours.

If you give it a try, share your results with us.
