Lately, I’ve noticed a new trend taking off on LinkedIn. People are turning their regular photos into AI-generated action figure images.
Yes, really.
I’m not here to say whether it’s a good thing, a weird thing, or something in between.
But one thing’s certain — it’s interesting.
More and more posts are showing up with people styled as collectible action figures: standing in a blister pack, surrounded by tiny job-related accessories like a laptop, smartphone, or a cup of coffee.
The best part?
You don’t need any special tools.
You don’t even need a paid version of ChatGPT.
What you’ll need:
- A clear photo of yourself
- Free ChatGPT with image input
- A short prompt (you can use mine below)
Upload the image, paste in the prompt, and the AI will generate a full-body action figure version of you, complete with themed packaging and accessories.
Here’s the exact prompt I used:
"Use this image to create a photo of a software developer action figure toy in blister packaging from head to toe with accessories including a laptop, phone and coffee mug."Feel free to change the prompt however you like.
I’m just sharing the one I used so you’ve got a starting point to build your own version.
If you want to see exactly how it works, I made a quick 20-second video:
