Who else is totally loving this ChatGPT action figure trend? I mean, who wouldn’t want a digital mini me? When I decided to create my own ChatGPT action figure of an art teacher, I was excited—but I quickly realized there weren’t any clear prompts or step-by-step instructions out there for art teachers.
So in this post, I’ll show you how I customized a basic prompt with lots of details to get exactly the look I wanted. I’ll also walk you through how to turn your finished figure into a short video clip!
Blister Pack Vs. Window Box Packaging
First things first: let’s talk packaging. There are two main styles people are generating right now—window box and blister pack.
- Window Box – Think Barbie-style packaging: a rectangular box with a clear plastic window, so you can see the figure and all the accessories inside.
- Blister Pack – More like what you’d see with action figures or even pill packaging: the plastic is molded around each item and sealed to a backing card.
I’ll show you how to create both. Decide which style you want to try—or better yet, try both ChatGPT action figure prompts and see which one creates the best art teacher clone of you.
Window Box ChatGPT Action Figure
First, start by finding a couple of clear headshots of yourself. Make sure the lighting is good, your face is well-lit, and the image has crisp edges.
Personally, I didn’t have much luck uploading a full-body photo. ChatGPT initially rendered me as a chubby, brown-haired, brown-eyed woman, which… is not what I look like. So, stick with a headshot for best results.
If you’re not sure how to upload photos, just click the ( + ) button in the lower-left corner of the chat window. Then select the image files from your device.
Next, copy and paste the prompt below into Google Docs, Microsoft Word, or a .txt file—basically anywhere that makes it easy to edit the text before dropping it into ChatGPT.
Here’s the exact prompt I used to design my elementary art teacher action figure. All the bolded sections are specific to me. So be sure to tweak those parts to match your own look and personality. You might want to change up the colors, fonts, outfit, or accessories—whatever makes it feel like you:
Window Box ChatGPT Prompt
Use these photos of me to create a 3D action figure of myself in a high-end, limited-edition window box toy packaging design with a (bright pastel rainbow background) like a premium collectible toy. The packaging should have the text “insert your name here” in large letters and a subheading of “Elementary Art Teacher” below it.
PACKAGING DESIGN:
- Color palette: bright pastel rainbow colors like pink, peach, lemon yellow, mint green, sky blue, and lavender
- Typography: Bold “AMIE” text in a Barbie-style cursive font and “Elementary Art Teacher” subtitle in a sans serif font
- Barbie-inspired window box style: action figure and doll pieces are set inside a box with a transparent window
FIGURE DETAILS:
- 3D, realistic, doll-like action figure version of Amie who is a slender blonde haired, big blue eyed woman.
- Outfit: white shirt, bright pastel rainbow skirt, pink cardigan, black slip-on shoes, chunky necklace
- Confident pose, sleek straight hair that ends just past the shoulders, light skin with no imperfections with a beautiful smile.
ACCESSORIES (attached to the back of the window box surrounding Amie on both the left and right sides):
- Paintbrush
- Paint palette
- Small wooden mannequin
- Blue tube of oil paint
- Dripping can of pink paint
- Sketchbook
- Pencil
- Green marker
- Purple Crayon
PRESENTATION NOTES:
Lighting should emphasize the glossy texture of the window box and the detailed sculpting of the figure and accessories that are set inside the box.
Blister Pack ChatGPT Action Figure
This prompt is similar to the window box version, but I’ve adjusted the language to better match the blister pack style.
You’ll also notice the accessories are smaller here. Because of the blister packaging, the accessories are smaller. So when deciding what to include, take that into consideration.
Also, if you include a lot of items, they tend to be jumbled together like this example here. But with fewer items, you’ll see each accessory comes in its own compartment.
Lastly, other than changing the style of the packaging, I also used verbiage like “hyper-detailed” and “photorealistic.”
While it doesn’t quite look like me, it’s not far off! Don’t like the photorealistic look? Just keep it simple and use “3D action figure” to describe it.
Blister Pack ChatGPT Prompt
Use these photos of me to create a hyper-detailed, photorealistic full body collectible action figure of Amie posed confidently in high-end, limited-edition packaging. Amie is a slender, blonde haired woman who parts her hair on the left side and has blue eyes.
The packaging features:
PACKAGING DESIGN:
- Color palette: white background with a rainbow
- Typography: sticker-style “AMIE” text in bright rainbow colored bubble letters
- Blister pack style: Clear plastic bubble molded to the figure and accessories.
- Hangsell hole punch at the top of the packaging.
FIGURE DETAILS:
- Realistic, 3D doll-like action figure version of Amie.
- Outfit: bright Memphis style knee-length dress, a blue cardigan sweater, and matching slip-on shoes
- One hand on the hip and the other hanging down, sleek straight hair that ends just past the shoulders, light skin with no imperfections with a beautiful smile
ACCESSORIES SECTION (right side in separate blister compartments):
- Paintbrush and paint palette
- Small wooden mannequin
- 3 tubes of oil paint
- Dripping can of blue paint
- Sketchbook and pencil
- Tabletop easel
Presentation Notes:
- Items are all visible and labeled inside the clear packaging.
- Lighting should emphasize the glossy texture of the blister pack and the detailed sculpting of the figure and accessories
Modifying Your Art Teacher Action Figure Using ChatGPT
If you really want to personalize your ChatGPT action figure, consider making some of these custom tweaks:
- Rock a theme – Add patterns or designs to the toy box or cardboard background itself
- Add details – Include freckles or facial moles
- Be creative – Customize t-shirt designs with text or graphics such as your art room mascot
- Change fonts – Play around with serif vs. sans-serif typefaces
- Accessorize – Add jewelry, hats, handbags, scarves, or even your favorite art-centric picture book!
- Change colors – Call out specific colors using hex codes (you can find these by uploading an inspiration image to sites like Image Color Picker)
- Adjust the pose – Try a peace sign, crossed arms, or holding a pencil or paintbrush
- Add speech bubbles or stickers – Include your favorite sayings like “Werk it!” or “Use your imagination!”
- Add fun fonts or badges – Include fun subtitles like “Chaos Coordinator” or “Glitter Boss” on the box
And don’t worry if, after rendering your image, something doesn’t quite look like you. You can simply ask ChatGPT to revise the design and make whatever changes you need—it’s super flexible.
I’ve asked it to re-render and make me thinner, swap out a color in my outfit, and even change the part in my hair.
Not sure how to describe your clothing? Just upload a picture of an outfit you love, then ask ChatGPT to describe it for you. Use that exact description in your prompt—it’s that easy to personalize your own art teacher action figure!
Animating Your Art Teacher Action Figure Using Kling AI
Ready to take your AI image to a whole new level? Let’s animate it using Kling AI! They give you a bunch of free credits to start with—enough to experiment and create several short animations.
This is the first one I created. The prompt for this was:
“The person grabs the sketchbook and pencil while it is stepping out of the box and walking forward with realistic body motion. All other elements remain stable. The camera pulls back.”
As you can see, it was somewhat successful. Instead of actually grabbing the sketchbook, it just appeared in her hand—which, honestly, still worked just fine.
But what really surprised me (in the best way) was that Kling added a bunch of colorful art materials to the foreground of the video. My prompt never called for those, so it felt like a happy little bonus!
Kling AI Animation Directions
- Go to Kling AI.
- Click on the “Video Generation” icon on the left side of the screen.
- Click on the Click/Drop/Paste window.
- Locate your action figure image on your device. It will appear in the window once it uploads.
- Scroll down to the “Prompt” window. Type your prompt.
- Click on the green “Generate” button on the bottom of the screen. You should see a quick pop-up saying “submitted successfully.” Wait until the video appears in the right-side window.
- Download your animation by clicking on the “download” icon below the video preview window.
Here are two other ones I created along with their prompts. Again, I was mildly successful but still pleased that this is even possible to do.
How to Use Your Action Figure in Your Art Room
OK, so you’ve made a cute action figure and maybe you even created a few short animation clips with Kling AI. Now what? Here are some ideas for implementing it in your art room.
- Start the year by playing the animated clip of your doll stepping out of the box, then introduce yourself in real life. Kids will love the surprise!
- Use it to explain classroom routines or rules—“Mini Mrs. Bentley says put the caps back on your markers!”
- Use speech bubbles to rotate weekly reminders or motivational quotes: “Be brave with your art!” or “Try a new material today!”
- Add the walking-out-of-the-box animation to the start of your student-facing tutorial videos as a fun intro.
- Dress your figure up in different styles (Pop Art, Impressionist, Ancient Egyptian) to introduce new units. You could make alternate “Mini Mrs. Bentley” variants! And you don’t need to include the box. Try rendering an image without it. Then add it to your PowerPoint slideshows.
If you have other ideas, I’m all ears. Drop a comment below. This could be loads of fun!

I can’t scroll Instagram or Facebook these days without seeing tons of these collectible toy designs—each one totally unique and full of personality.
What I love most is how they capture the essence of someone. It’s such a fun and creative way to tell your story visually.
I made one just for me and included a cat, a paint palette and brush (I’ve been deep into watercolors lately), a seashell (my forever muse), a fancy blue drink, and a dumbbell. If you asked me to sum up my life in a toy box—that’s it right there.
So now it’s your turn! What would your action figure look like?
