The cardboard backing card is tangerine orange with a bold title at the top that reads "OFFICE HERO" and a small subtitle "Coffee-powered edition".

Photo edit prompt guide

Which photos work for this edit

A collectible action figure of the person in your photo, shown as a 1/12 scale painted figure sealed inside an orange cardboard blister pack labelled OFFICE HERO. Nano Banana 2.1 handles this well because the prompt locks the face, hairstyle, skin tone and outfit to image 1 while changing only the packaging and the sculpt, so the result still looks like the same person. The plain studio background and soft shadow keep attention on the package.

This edit expects one clear photo of a single adult, ideally full-length, so the model has a face, outfit and proportions to copy into the figure.

Works: a full-length photo of one adult facing the camera
The model can see the whole outfit and proportions, which it needs to sculpt the figure's joints and clothing accurately.
Works: even, soft daylight with a plain background
Clean lighting makes the face and outfit easier to keep recognisable, and suits the studio product look the prompt asks for.
Avoid: group photos or more than one person in frame
The prompt refers to image 1 as one person, so a crowd forces the model to guess which person to turn into the figure.
Avoid: heavy shadows or a face turned away from the camera
Hidden features are hard to keep recognisable, so the figure's face is more likely to drift from the original.

What each instruction does

  1. Subject and packagingTurn the person in image 1 into a full-body collectible action figure sealed in a retail blister pack

    Sets the core job: turn the input photo into a boxed collectible figure rather than a plain portrait. Without the words sealed in a retail blister pack, the model may return a standing figure with no packaging.

  2. Identity lockKeep the face, hairstyle, skin tone and outfit recognisable from image 1

    This line keeps the toy looking like the person in image 1. Removing it lets the model redesign the character freely, so the figure may no longer match your photo.

  3. Sculpt and scalesculpted as a 1/12 scale painted plastic figure with visible joint lines at the shoulders, elbows and knees

    The scale and joint lines make the image read as a toy rather than a person. Dropping the joint lines or changing 1/12 to another scale weakens that toy look.

  4. Card colour and titleThe cardboard backing card is tangerine orange with a bold title at the top that reads "OFFICE HERO"

    This sets the packaging design and the exact text on it. Tangerine orange gives the card a strong colour block, and the quoted title is copied as written. Change the words in quotes and the title on the card changes too.

  5. Accessories in slotsInside the clear plastic bubble, beside the figure, sit its accessories in their own molded slots

    This places the laptop, coffee cup, phone and headphones inside the bubble as separate items, which gives the package its collectible feel. Remove it and the accessories may end up loose or left out of the picture.

Model and settings

Keep the 3:4 ratio for this prompt, since the tall blister pack and the figure need vertical room. Use 1k for quick tests, and raise the resolution when you want the card text and joint lines to print sharply. Keep the mode on image-to-image edit with one input picture, because the prompt refers to image 1. For a square product shot or a wider box, change the ratio, but check that the card title still fits in frame.

  • Nano Banana ProIt plans the layout first, so the card text, accessory slots and packaging are placed before the image is drawn. Pick it when the OFFICE HERO title and subtitle must read cleanly.
  • GPT Image 2.5 SunburstIt is quality-first with clean text up to 4K, so it suits this prompt when the lettering on the card matters more than speed.

When the edit misses

The face or hairstyle drifts away from the person in the photo
Keep the identity sentence word for word, 'Keep the face, hairstyle, skin tone and outfit recognisable from image 1', and use a sharper, front-facing input photo.
The whole picture is repainted as a toy scene instead of one boxed figure
Keep 'Turn the person in image 1 into' at the start, and remove any extra scene words so the edit targets the package only.
The card title is misspelled or the lettering breaks up
Keep the title in quotes, 'OFFICE HERO', and switch to nano-banana-pro if the lettering still breaks.
The box is cropped to a square or the figure's feet are cut off
Keep the 3:4 ratio used in the example, and remove any words that ask for a close-up.

Questions about this edit prompt

Which photo works best for the Action Figure in a Box prompt?

A sharp, full-length photo of one adult facing the camera works best, because the model copies the face, hairstyle and outfit into the figure. Group shots or heavy shadows make the result less accurate.

How do I change the card colour without changing the rest of the prompt?

Edit only the phrase 'The cardboard backing card is tangerine orange' and keep the rest of the sentence intact. That keeps the figure, the pack shape and the studio lighting close to the original result.

Can Nano Banana 2.1 write the OFFICE HERO title clearly on the card?

Yes, the model is built for sharp text and 4K output, so a short title like OFFICE HERO usually comes out legible. Longer subtitles are more likely to garble, so check them first.
