Nano Banana 3D Figurine Prompt (1/7 Scale Collectible)
This is the prompt behind the figurine photos that flooded every feed: your photo goes into Gemini (Nano Banana), and out comes a 1/7 scale collectible figure of you — on a desk, next to its own packaging box, with the 3D sculpt on a monitor behind it. Paste it as-is for the classic shot, then swap the outfit or setting lines to make your own version.
The viral Nano Banana prompt that turns your photo into a 1/7 scale collectible figurine — PVC figure, acrylic base, branded box, desk scene.
Create a 1/7 scale commercialized figurine of the person in the uploaded photo, in a realistic collectible style. Keep the person's face, hairstyle, and outfit recognizable from the photo. The figurine stands on a round transparent acrylic base on a wooden desk. Beside it sits the product packaging box printed with the character artwork in a two-dimensional flat illustration style. Behind, a computer monitor displays the 3D modeling process of this figurine in a sculpting software interface. Indoor studio lighting, detailed PVC texture, realistic shadows and reflections on the desk, photorealistic product photography, 8K. No text errors on the box, no extra people.
See what this prompt creates
Of all the Nano Banana trends, the figurine is the one that escaped the internet and entered group chats, office desks, and birthday gift planning. The formula is irresistible: you, but as a premium collectible — PVC figure, display base, retail box, the works. Brands run it on their mascots, fans run it on celebrities, and everyone runs it on themselves. Here is the original-style prompt, why each element is in it, and how to bend it.
How to use it
- Upload a clear photo with your full outfit visible — the figurine copies your clothes, so wear (or pick a photo of) the outfit you want miniaturized.
- Paste the prompt into Gemini and generate. The classic composition arrives in one shot: figure, base, box, monitor.
- Zoom in on the box art and the face — those are the two places errors hide.
Why this prompt works
The prompt is a scene specification, not a style wish. Each clause anchors one element: scale ("1/7 scale commercialized figurine") tells the model the proportions and the product category; the acrylic base and wooden desk give it a physical stage; the box with "two-dimensional flat illustration" artwork creates the contrast between the 3D figure and its 2D art that makes the image read as real merchandise; and the monitor showing the sculpt in progress adds the behind-the-scenes storytelling layer that made the format famous. Remove any one element and the photo still works — but it stops looking like a product launch. Nano Banana handles this multi-object scene well because it reasons about the whole composition instead of pasting a figure onto a background.
Variations people are running
- Full-body action pose: add "dynamic mid-action pose" and a themed base (city rooftop, football pitch, kitchen counter for a chef).
- Couple figurines: upload a two-person photo and ask for "two figurines on one shared base" — wedding cake-topper energy. The couple portrait prompt is the flat-photo sibling.
- Pet figurine: works shockingly well on a clear pet photo; the box art becomes the best part.
- Desk-gift version: put a name on the box by adding 'the box is printed with the name "ALEX" in clean bold letters' — Nano Banana renders short text reliably.

Frequently asked questions
Does the figurine prompt work on the free Gemini plan?
Yes — it's a standard image generation/edit request and runs on the free tier's Nano Banana model within daily limits.
Why does my figurine's face look different from my photo?
The figurine is a stylized miniature, so some likeness softening is normal — it's sculpting you, not photographing you. A clearer, closer face in the uploaded photo improves the resemblance.
Can I put my name or brand on the box?
Yes — add a line naming the exact text: 'printed with the name "..." in bold letters'. Keep it short; Nano Banana renders a few words accurately but garbles long text.
Can I actually 3D-print the figurine from this image?
Not directly — the output is a 2D render of a figurine, not a 3D model file. Treat it as concept art; services exist that sculpt real figures from reference photos if you want the physical version.
