Create Your Own AI Action Figure Dolls

Here’s a handy step-by-step guide to create your own AI Packaged Action Figure — like the “Cruise Lowdown: Kathy & John” toy set above, using AI tools and photo inputs.

How to Create Your Own AI Packaged Action Figure

1️⃣ Select an AI App or Program

I used ChatGPT, but you could try GROK (on X), or use an AI image generator that supports photorealistic generation. Tools like DALL·E or Midjourney can help.

2️⃣ Choose Your Characters

Pick clear photos of the people you want to turn into figures.
Full-body or upper-body images work best. Make sure faces are well lit.
Upload a mix of selfies and full length photos.

3️⃣ Decide on Styling

Choose clothing and accessories for the figures. Think about:

Outfit themes and colours (e.g. cruise casual, retro, glam)
Accessories (e.g. sunglasses, passport, phone, travel case)
Optional: Add quirky or fun props that reflect personality.

4️⃣ Choose Your Packaging Design

Background colour scheme (e.g. bright blue, pink, retro neon).
Add a logo or emblem (e.g. or symbol/branding).
Text for the box:

Main title (e.g. Cruise Lowdown)
Character names or fun tagline (e.g. Kathy & John or The Holiday Dream Team)

5️⃣ Generate the Figures and Accessories

Prompt example: (this was mine)

“Create a photorealistic action figure set in a toy-style plastic blister box. Include 2 people: a woman with red-brown hair, glasses, in white jeans, striped Breton top, red heart bag, and sneakers; and a bald man in jeans and a pale pink jacket. Place accessories next to them: sunglasses, passports, smartphone, and a black and white spotty cabin case. The box should be blue with a yellow paper boat logo. Add text: ‘Cruise Lowdown’ at the top, and ‘Kathy & John’ below. Make the packaging look shiny and realistic with a hanging hook.”

Replace the descriptions with as much detail as you’d like and your own choice of colours and accessories.

6️⃣ Edit If Needed

If you’re not happy with the output, tweak your prompt (e.g. change colours, pose, accessories).
You can also edit manually in Photoshop or Canva for final polish.

7️⃣ Save & Share

Export as a high-quality PNG or JPG.
Print for fun, use as a gift, or share digitally.

What do you think? I might need to tweak some features, but otherwise I’m quite pleased with the results.

Only problem is, my grandchildren might add them to their birthday lists!
