- **Slug:** `want-collectible-figure-packshot`
- **Status:** wanted
- **Publisher:** Regy (community)
- **Source:** https://x.com/regyperlera/status/2010024069874512106
- **Cost:** ~5–16 credits / image (estimate) — One Nano Banana 2.1 image at 5.25–15.75 credits (catalog of 2026-10-23); a 5 s Kling v3 turntable adds ~59.

## What it does

One photo becomes a realistic collectible figure on a clear acrylic base, staged on a desk beside its packaging box and a monitor showing the sculpting process, or, in the 2026 variant, a minimal isometric miniature on white. The recipe drove the 2025 Nano Banana wave (23M new Gemini users and 500M+ images, per eMarketer) and still pulls 1.6M-view posts in 2026. An agent asks for one clear photo, runs a fixed prompt template on Nano Banana 2.1 or GPT Image 2.5 with slots for pose and outfit, keeps the box art original, and can add a 5 s turntable with Kling v3.

## Status

A format people ask for that has no dedicated skill yet. Make it with the skills on the use-case pages below, or with varg directly.

Example: https://x.com/regyperlera/status/2010024069874512106

How an agent would make it: One photo → fixed figurine prompt (scale, base, desk-and-box or isometric-on-white, pose and outfit slots) → Nano Banana 2.1 / GPT Image 2.5 → optional 5 s turntable (Kling v3)

**Models it drives:** nano_banana_2_1, gpt_image_2_5, kling_v3
