At the end of March 2025, ChatGPT rolled out its new image generator. People started playing with anime selfies, memes, whatever. But within a couple of weeks, one very specific format took over: action figures in a box — and yes, YOU are the figure.
Barbie, LEGO, or Funko POP. It’s you (or anyone), inside a plastic-style box, full-body, with accessories (coffee, MacBook, lipstick, books — you name it). ChatGPT makes it in seconds from just a selfie and a simple text prompt.

What are people doing with it?
On LinkedIn, professionals are posting career-themed versions: Project Manager in a box, with company logos and book recommendations.
In Instagram and Telegram, it’s celebrities, politicians, even LADA cars turned into Hot Wheels-style figures.
Brands joined the party: KFC India made a fake “KFC Meal Kit” doll. Chery Ecuador launched one with their car.
And yep, someone launched a memcoin called $Figure on Solana — currently under 1 cent, being pushed through these images in community groups.
How to make your own doll:
Upload your selfie to ChatGPT (image generation must be enabled).
Use a prompt like:
“Create a full-body action figure of the person in the photo. Inside a yellow blister box. Include accessories: MacBook, coffee cup, lipstick. Top label: 'Barbie', bottom: 'Anna'.”
Boom. Done. Post it or animate it using AI tools (like Kling or Wan) to make Reels/TikToks.
Super low effort. No code. No design skills. Just a photo + a sentence — and you’re in the box.

Did you try this trend for your blog, in social media?
