Example AI Action Figure Prompt for Gemini AI

If you want anime-style results, here’s a sample prompt you can try:

Create a 1/7 scale commercialized figure of the character in the illustration, in a realistic style and environment. Place the figure on a computer desk, using a circular transparent acrylic base without any text. On the computer screen, display the Brush modeling process of the figure. Next to the computer screen, place a BANDAI-style toy packaging box printed with the original artwork.

You can modify the Gemini AI prompt to fit your style—whether you want a superhero, an anime character, or a toy box edition.
