Google’s Nano Banana has sparked its first trend.
Each major new AI image generator sparks a new viral trend. This trend takes over the internet for a few days. With the launch of GPT‑4o back in March, it was Studio Ghibli-style images. Now with Google’s Nano Banana, AKA Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, it’s 3D figurines.
It isn’t an entirely new trend. People had already displayed a penchant for creating action figures of themselves using GPT-4o. But Nano Banana appears to be capable of more detail and more sophisticated prompt adherence. Sometimes they’re cute, and sometimes they’re more than a little creepy. People have also discovered that they can turn static images of their 3D figurines into videos.

What is the AI 3D figurine trend?
The latest AI 3D figurine trend has been sparked by the release of Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, better known as Nano Banana. Google itself promoted the trend by posting images generated by the model on social media.
People upload a photograph of themselves or another subject to Gemini. They also provide a text prompt with instructions to generate an image of a 3D figurine. With the right prompt, the AI model can generate an image that combines the likeness of the reference photo. It also captures the look of a detailed toy figure. This includes any props or accessories and packaging.
In most cases, people are generating images in which the 3D figurine is placed on a desk. The computer screen displays a design for the toy. This design is in one of the best 3D modelling programs.
How do people make AI 3D figurines?
You can try to generate an image that looks like a 3D figurine using various AI models. However, people are mainly using Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, (Nano Banana). This model does a sometimes scarily accurate job. It’s freely available in Google’s own AI Studio.
Click on ‘Try Nano Banana’. You’ll be given a box to type in a prompt. The prompt that Google suggests is:
Create a 1/7 scale commercialized figurine of the characters in the picture, in a realistic style, in a real environment. The figurine is placed on a computer desk. The figurine has a round transparent acrylic base, with no text on the base. The content on the computer screen is a 3D modeling process of this figurine. Next to the computer screen is a toy packaging box. It is designed in a style reminiscent of high-quality collectible figures. The box is printed with original artwork. The packaging features two-dimensional flat illustrations.
