I built an AI tool that turns photos into collectible action figures (TurnToy)
- incendies 1y agoHey HN, I recently launched a side project called AI Action Figure Maker TurnToy. It lets people upload a photo and generate their own custom action figure using generative AI. The idea came from a conversation with a friend who collects designer toys. I wanted to see if I could create a mobile app that makes the process fun, fast, and accessible—even for people without design skills. Some things I learned building this: People love seeing themselves as superheroes or cartoon-style figures. The biggest UX challenge was packaging customization. Prompt engineering played a key role in style consistency on the chatgpt API. I'm curious: what other use cases do you see for AI in toy/gaming creation? Happy to answer questions and get feedback from the community. Thanks!
