From the 90s yearbook trend to the Ghibli art trend, several TikTok crazes in recent months have made use of articifical intelligence (AI).
And the latest trend, dubbed the ‘action figure trend’, is no different.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it’s likely you’ve seen this trend taking over social media.
Thousands of images have posted on X, Instagram and TikTok, with everyone from the Royal Mail to the NHS getting involved.
The trend sees users transform themselves into collectors toys, complete with a nameplate and matching accessories.
While it might look technically advanced, it’s actually fairly simple.
All you’ll need is a full-length photo, an idea of the accessories you’d like to include, and access to ChatGPT.
Here’s how you can jump on board the trend and turn yourself into a collector’s toy.

For example, you could write something like:
Turn this person into a realistic action figure inside plastic packaging like a collector’s doll.
The doll should be smiling and stood in an upright position.
Add a nameplate at the top reading [insert name] and include accessories on the side like a water bottle, iPhone, flower crown, and pogo stick.
Use a pink background to highlight the figure, and make sure it looks just like me.
4. Review and adjust your image
If it doesn’t appear immediately, don’t panic – the image may take several minutes to load.
Once it has been generated, take a look and see if you’d like any changes.
