Collectible Desk Figurine From a Photo (Nano Banana)
The viral photo-to-figurine edit, written properly: scale, materials, desk scene, and packaging box — with the phrasing that keeps the face recognizable.
Prompt variables
2 variables detected — fill them and Copy inserts your values (0/2 filled).
Using the uploaded photo, turn {{person_or_character}} into a 1/7 scale painted collectible figurine. Keep the face clearly recognizable from the photo — same features, same expression. The figurine stands on a small round transparent acrylic base on a wooden computer desk, posed {{pose}}. Render it with the look of a premium PVC figure: subtle paint shading, slight glossy finish on the eyes and hair, visible matte texture on the clothing. Behind it on the desk: a computer monitor showing 3D sculpting software with this same figurine as a work-in-progress model, and next to it the figurine's retail packaging box with clean toy-photography branding and a window showing the figure inside. Soft indoor lighting from a desk lamp, shallow depth of field focused on the figurine, realistic photograph.
Edit-prompt technique (this is an edit, not a generation):
- Lead with what to KEEP ("face clearly recognizable, same features") before what to change — Nano Banana's character consistency is its superpower, but only if you ask for it explicitly.
- The three-object scene (figurine + monitor + box) is what sells the "real product photo" illusion; drop any one and it reads as a plain style filter.
- {{pose}} should be simple and statuesque: "one hand on hip", "arms crossed", "mid-stride". Complex action poses distort proportions at figurine scale.
- Say "realistic photograph" at the end or the whole desk drifts into 3D-render land.
- Swap the desk scene for "a collector's glass display shelf, LED-lit, among other boxed figures" for the shelf variant of the trend.
Proof of work
Example outputs
Prompt as run: Using the uploaded photo, turn the person into a 1/7 scale painted collectible figurine. Keep the face clearly recognizable from the photo — same features, same expression. The figurine stands on a small round transparent acrylic base on a wooden computer desk, posed with arms crossed. [...] realistic photograph.
Result notes: face likeness held in 4 of 5 runs (the failure lost the glasses). The monitor consistently rendered plausible sculpting-software UI; the packaging box needed one follow-up edit ("keep everything identical, make the box art text cleaner") to fix gibberish lettering. Best run used as the card image.
