Digital creativity has welcomed a new trend of 3D figurines using Google Gemini. With AI, you can now turn a very simple image into a realistic 3D figurine in just a few clicks. Nano Banana inside of Gemini has become viral, and creators, hobbyists, and even beginners can create life-like figurines that appear to come from a toy store.
This trend of 3D figurines has been popular all over social media platforms. Let’s figure it out in detail.
The 3D figurine trend began as AI users tried out prompts that create realistic, commercial-quality models out of flat images. The reason why people love it is that it combines two interesting concepts, namely customization and collectability.
It’s like putting your favorite anime character, game avatar, or just your own photo into a mini collectible figure, with AI! This is possible with the Google Gemini Nano Banana tool. Just by typing in a well-designed 3D figurine prompt, you can create figures in PVC-style with detailed packaging, a realistic setting, and even a professional display setup.
This trend was further hyped when Google India posted a social media post displaying a 3D figurine designed using Gemini. Interestingly, they even dropped the very 3D figure prompt in the comments, urging people to do it themselves. That single upload created a wave of experimentation, with users filling their feeds with creative, AI-made collectibles.
Nowadays, this trend is not limited to artists and gamers, but also to casual social media users who desire to display unique figurines created by AI.
However, alongside tools like Gemini, professionals can make use of 3D design software to refine, customize, or take their figurine designs to the next level.

Below are the steps to the 3D figurine-making tutorial using the Nano Banana tool:
Step 1: Open Google Gemini and log in to your account. If new, you can sign up using your Gmail account or create a new account.
Step 2: Once you log in, you will see the default option at the top of the screen, Try image editing, (as 3D figurine AI is trending), which takes you directly to the Nano Banana tool.
If you cannot see the default option, you can choose 2.5 Flash from the dropdown menu in the upper left corner.
Step 3: Attach the image to the chat and write the 3D figurine prompt.
I want you to make a 1/7 commercialized figurine using the characters in the image I have provided you. It should look very realistic and in a real environment. Place the figurine on a clean computer table with fewer wires. Place the figurine on a round transparent acrylic base; there should be no single text on base of the figurine. On the computer screen, there should be the brush modelling process of the figurine displayed. There should be a packaging box of the figurine in BANDAI-style toy packaging next to the monitor. The packaging box should have the printed original artwork of the character exactly the same with flat 2-D illustrations. This packaging box should be behind the figurine. The figurine material should be PVC, and the background should be indoors. The whole figurine should be a full body of the character, even if the image is provided only half. Also, if the image has some background, remove it and only focus on the character in the image.
Step 4: Press the Enter key and wait for a few seconds for the result. You will get a 3D figurine as shown below.

Going with the trend seems cool! But what if you create some different versions of the trend so that your 3D figurine looks exceptional?
Here are a few more 3D figurine prompts where you can change the background and the figurine model style.
Using the image provided, make a 1/7 commercialized figurine using the characters in the image I have provided you. It should look very realistic and in a real environment. Place the figurine in one hand of the character (use character’s real image in the whole image frame with background the character sitting on a sofa). The figurine should have a transparent acrylic round base; there should be no single text on base of the figurine. There should be a packaging box of the figurine in BANDAI-style toy packaging in the other hand of the character. The packaging box should have the printed original artwork of the character exactly the same with flat 2-D illustrations. The figurine material should be of material PVC. The whole figurine should be a full body of the character, even if the image is provided only half. Also, if the image has some background, remove it and only focus on the character in the image.

Make a 1/7 commercialized figurine using the characters in the image I have provided you. It should look very realistic and in a real environment. Place the figurine on a bookshelf. The bookshelf must have 3-4 Hot Wheels also (not in the packet). The bookshelf must be clearly visible. The figurine should have a transparent acrylic round base; there should be no single text on base of the figurine. There should be a packaging box of the figurine in BANDAI-style toy packaging with the figurine. The packaging box should have the printed original artwork of the character exactly the same with flat 2-D illustrations. The packaging box should be next to the figurine. The figurine material should be of material PVC. The whole figurine should be a full body of the character, even if the image is provided only half. Also, if the image has some background, remove it and only focus on the character in the image.

Here comes the most exciting 3D figurine prompt for animal lovers. You can create a 3D figurine for cats and dogs or other pet/stray animals. You just have to attach your pet image and paste the following prompt:
Create a 1/7 commercialized figurine of the animal in the picture I have provided you. It should look very realistic and in a real environment. Place the figurine on the bed in such a way that the original animal is watching it and is amazed to see it. The original animal should also be on the bed. Place the figurine on a round transparent acrylic base; there should be no single text on base of the figurine. There should be a packaging box of the figurine in BANDAI-style toy packaging next to the figurine. The packaging box should have the printed original artwork of the animal exactly the same with flat 2-D illustrations. The figurine material should be PVC, and the background should be indoors. Make the bed colour white and a little fancy, the walls in the room should be of a light grey color. Show the full bed in the image. If the image of the animal has some background, remove it and only focus on the character in the image.

Not only can you create your 3D figurine, but you can also make it dance the way you want. You can use image-to-video generation tools incorporated with AI, like DeeVid, PixVerse and more. We have tried to make one of our figurines dance. Here’s the video -
You can add perfection to your video using other AI video generators, also if required.
Conclusion
The trend of 3D figurines is not merely an internet craze, but it is a glimpse of the future of AI-driven creativity.
Using tools such as the Nano Banana of Google Gemini, creating a figurine has stopped requiring a 3D model or costly software. It only takes a good prompt and imagination.
