AI craze mania with AI action figures and turning pets into people

In the 90s, we collected Pokémon cards, in the 2000s, we all had a weird phase with those rubber charity bracelets, and now in 2025, we’re turning our pets into strange human beings with AI.

Progress? Possibly.

In the wake of the “Ghibli style” phenomenon that melted OpenAI’s servers and had CEO Sam Altman practically begging people to stop generating images, we’ve hit a new wave of AI crazes taking off on social media.

Your social media feed might now likely be invaded by action figure versions of your friends and humanized versions of their cats. Welcome to 2025.

Make your own AI action figure

The latest trend sweeping across X, TikTok, and Instagram involves people transforming themselves into action figures complete with packaging.

Users are generating images of themselves as collectible toys sealed in plastic blister packs with colorful cardboard backings.

“Create a toy of a person based on the photo. Let it be a collectible action figure. The figure should be placed inside a clear blister pack, in front of a backing card,” reads a popular prompt being shared widely.

Some are even creating elaborate backstories for their action figure alter-egos, complete with fictional accessories and “special abilities” listed on the packaging.

Relax, use your photo to create a custom toy box and show it off here!
