What You Need to Get Started
Before we get into it, you’ll need the following:

Step-by-Step: How to Turn Your Photo into Viral Action Figures Using ChatGPT
Step 1: Create Your Prompt Using Chat GPT
The time has finally come; here’s where you can train your ChatGPT to create a detailed prompt for making a toy/action figure version of your photo. So, ask:
“Create an AI image generation prompt to turn a front-facing photo of a person into a stylized action figure. Make it fun, detailed, toy-like, and pop-culture ready.”
Then, when you run the above through ChatGPT, you get something like:
“A stylized 3D action figure of a young adult wearing a futuristic superhero costume, dynamic pose, exaggerated facial features, cartoon proportions, standing on a display base with nameplate, soft lighting, plastic texture, inspired by 90s action figures.”
You can adapt it to your preference: anime, vintage, futuristic, fantasy, even Barbie style.
Or you can just copy and paste this prompt and enter your Preference
“Create a highly detailed, fun, and stylized action figure based on the person in the reference photo. The figure should have a heroic stance, wearing a western jeans and oversize down shoulder t-shirt The face should retain the original features but in a cartoonish, toy-like style – slightly oversized head, Coolies eyes, and a confident smirk. The figure should be holding a Ball in one hand and a bat in the other. Background should be a toy store display box with branding like ‘Stadium: RS’ and stats like Strength, Agility, and Focus. The colors should be vibrant punchy – reds, golds, and neon highlights”
