Make Your Own AI Action Figure
In the wake of the "Ghibli style" phenomenon that melted OpenAI’s servers and had CEO Sam Altman practically begging people to stop generating images, we’ve hit a new wave of AI crazes taking off on social media. Your social media feed might now likely be invaded by action figure versions of your friends and humanized versions of their cats. Welcome to 2025.
Create a Toy of a Person
The latest trend sweeping across X, TikTok, and Instagram involves people transforming themselves into action figures complete with packaging. Users are generating images of themselves as collectible toys sealed in plastic blister packs with colorful cardboard backings.
"Create a toy of a person based on the photo. Let it be a collectible action figure. The figure should be placed inside a clear blister pack, in front of a backing card," reads a popular prompt being shared widely. Some are even creating elaborate backstories for their action figure alter-egos, complete with fictional accessories and "special abilities" listed on the packaging.
Pets Become People
Probably the weirder of the two trends, people are turning their pets into their human forms. One circulated prompt reads: "Transform this animal into a human character, removing all animal features (such as fur, ears, whiskers, muzzle, tail, etc.) while preserving its personality and recognizable traits. Focus on capturing the expression, posture, emotional vibe, and visual identity."
The results…let’s just say they’re both charming and unsettling.
What’s Next?
Text-to-image has truly entered the public consciousness as AI tools go mobile and become more efficient and easier to use. Being able to upload photos to ChatGPT and ask it to manipulate them in situ is a key driving force, too. Everything you need to build your own action figure is in the palm of your hand.
Conclusion
The trend of AI-generated action figures and pet humans has taken over social media, with users having a blast creating their own unique characters. While some results may be unsettling, the creativity and humor behind these projects are undeniable. As AI technology continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see what new trends and creative outlets emerge.
