I built an AI tool that turns photos into collectible action figures (TurnToy)

Hey 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!
