If you’re building a business, you’re also building a personal brand, whether you realize it or not. And what better way to express your identity than by turning yourself into an action figure?
Yes, you read that right.
This guide shows how to build a visually iconic version of your personal brand—one you can use for landing pages, social media, and founder storytelling.
Let’s get started with this step-by-step guide!
The first step? Generate a branded, 3D-rendered image that captures you as a product. Use this exact prompt in ChatGPT, Midjourney, DALL·E, or send it directly to your designer.
Action Figure Branding Prompt
Create a 3D-rendered, cartoon-style action figure of a [your role, e.g. “startup founder,” “marketer,” “designer”] named “[Your Name].”
The figure should be [body type — e.g. “fit,” “average,” “stylized”], smiling, and wearing [your typical outfit — e.g. “a black t-shirt and beige pants,” “a hoodie and sneakers,” etc.]. Add any defining features like glasses, hairstyle, facial hair, etc.
Package the figure inside a plastic blister shell on a bold, clean [choose your color] cardboard backing, styled like a collectible toy (think Hot Wheels or Funko). Position the figure slightly to the left inside the packaging.
[Include 4 accessories that represent your lifestyle or role.]Use soft, warm lighting and toy-like textures (like clay or plastic) to make it feel collectible and high quality. Avoid extra branding unless it’s on the accessories.Once you’ve got your figure, don’t just post it once and forget it.
This visual becomes an evergreen brand tool.
Use your action figure in:
Your action figure already nails the visual packaging. Now comes positioning.
Use this headline formula:
“A [what you do] for [who you help], powered by [your unfair advantage].”
Examples:
Clear, punchy positioning instantly communicates your value.
Here are 3 content post ideas you can build around your new action figure visual:
1. “If I came as a collectible…”
List your 4 accessories and explain how they reflect your business or journey. Example:
💻 Laptop = async work
☕ Coffee mug = long hours
📅 Calendar = time-blocked life
🎤 Mic = personal brand voice
2. “Leadership is about building systems…”
Show your action figure next to a Notion dashboard or calendar. Use it as a visual metaphor for how delegation, systems, and remote staffing help leaders scale.
3. “My real superpower isn’t coffee. It’s this…”
Use a humorous opener, then drop your actual strength: strategic hiring, copywriting, emotional intelligence, whatever gives your brand its edge.
Want something polished enough for a landing page or ad?
Use this upgraded prompt:
Market-Ready Prompt
Create a stylized, collectible action figure of a startup founder named “[Your Name].”
The figure is standing confidently inside a blister pack on a bold orange and black background.
Include 4 themed accessories: a laptop with a logo, a coffee mug, a tiny VA headset, and a calendar with “No Meetings” written on it.
Use soft lighting and toy-like textures to make it feel premium and playful.
✅ Use the action figure on one or more social platforms
✅ Publish at least one “founder-as-product” post
✅ Add it to your email welcome sequence
✅ Insert the image in your next pitch deck
✅ Use it on your “About” or personal site landing page
Once your action figure is live, level up your content with vibe-driven prompts.
Here’s a starter:
“A photorealistic diorama of a modern founder balancing work and chaos while smiling like it’s fine. Stylized like a collectible toy shelf. Add subtle humor.”
Use these to create visuals that capture the vibe of your audience’s challenges and position your brand as the solution.
