But how exactly do people turn themselves into an action figure? Whether you're curious about how to create an action figure or how to make your own action figure, this guide will show you how. From AI-generated dolls to the tools and prompts people use, we’ll explain how to turn yourself into an action figure and nail the look quickly!
In this article
Part 1. How to Create a Starter Pack Action Figure with ChatGPT
The AI action figure trend kicked off when a Twitter user used ChatGPT to turn themselves into an action figure. Since then, it's become the go-to tool for people looking to get creative with their own starter pack ideas.

Basically, ChatGPT helps you come up with the full idea. Think of it like writing the toy box bio for your action-figure self. You can list out your personality traits, go-to outfits, must-have accessories, and overall vibe. To do that, you can try using prompts like:
- "Create a toy action figure of myself using the attached photo as a reference. Next to the figure, there should be the toy's equipment, each in its individual blisters. People would see me as [Describe yourself: party person, chocolate lover, gym enthusiast, etc.]."
- "Give me a list of traits, items, and outfits that would be in a starter pack if I were an action figure. I'm a [describe yourself: gamer, student, fashion lover, etc.]."
- Create a starter pack description for an AI-generated action figure version of me. I love [insert hobbies], wear [style], and my vibe is [fun, chill, mysterious, chaotic, etc.].
Now, let's put those prompts to use and learn how to make your own action figure using ChatGPT. Just follow this simple step-by-step guide to get started:
01of 04Open ChatGPT 4.0
Go to ChatGPT and create an account. Sign up with email or phone, and make sure you're using the "ChatGPT 4.0" version.

02of 04Type in your prompt
Enter a prompt describing your vibe, hobbies, or style. Use the example below as inspiration.

03of 04Upload your photo and generate an AI image
Click the plus icon to upload a clear photo of yourself. This helps the AI create a more accurate action figure. Then, hit the arrow to submit it and let ChatGPT work.

04of 04Check the result
Within seconds, you’ll receive a starter pack photo of your action figure. You can download, save, or share it on social media.

Can You Edit Your AI Starter Pack Image?
Let's say you got your AI action figure result, but something feels a bit off. Maybe, like in this example, the motorcycle icon is sticking out of its box. No worries at all, you can easily fix it.
Since the image was made from a prompt, editing your AI starter pack is just a matter of updating that prompt. Just head back into ChatGPT and type something like: "Please make the motorcycle icon smaller so it fits inside its box." Then hit enter and let the AI work its magic again.

In just a few seconds, you'll get a cleaner, more polished version of your starter pack. And there you have it! Take a look at the final result below.

Part 2. Watch It Live: How to Animate Your Starter Pack Action Figure
Alright, now that you know how to turn yourself into an action figure, why stop at a still image? Instead of just showing off your character in a single frame, you can turn your AI-generated doll into a short animated video that brings your starter pack to life. That takes it to a whole new level.

Part 3. Common Problems with AI Starter Packs (and How to Fix Them)
Now that you've played around with your AI starter pack and given movements to it, you might notice that the results don't always turn out perfect on the first try. Maybe it doesn't look like you, or the box feels kind of empty, or the accessories are just... weird.
No worries though. Below, we'll go over these common issues and how you can easily fix them using better prompts or small edits.

It Doesn't Look Like You at All
If your AI-generated doll looks nothing like you, the problem is usually in the prompt. Try giving more details about your hairstyle, skin tone, clothes, and overall vibe. You can also upload a clearer photo and try to generate it again. The more specific you are, the more "you" it becomes.
The Box Design Feels Empty or Bland
If your AI action figure box looks too plain or feels like something is missing, it might need a stronger theme. In your prompt, mention things like background style, colors, or extra design elements like stickers, name tags, or a signature catchphrase. Think about what makes your starter pack trend stand out and add that to your prompt.
Accessories Don't Match You
Sometimes AI adds random items that don't fit your personality. If this happens, you can just tell the AI what to include instead. Say something like, "Replace the guitar with a sketchbook and match the outfit to a cozy art style." That way, your AI action figure starter pack actually reflects what you love.
Conclusion
There's a fun starter pack trend going around on social media where people turn themselves into AI action figures, complete with accessories that match their personality. So, this guide highlights how to make your own action figure using ChatGPT, including effective prompts to bring your idea to life.
If you want to take it a step further and make your AI-generated doll photo move, you can do that too. Filmora's Image to Video feature makes it easy. You can animate your AI action figure using a ready-made template or create it manually, depending on what you prefer. Both options look awesome and give you the freedom to create something that really feels like you.
