Prompt

Turn the person in image 1 into a 1/7 scale painted resin collectible figure: a full-body figure about 25 cm tall, clearly a sculpted toy rather than a real person, standing on a clear round acrylic base on a wooden desk. Keep the face, hairstyle, skin tone and outfit from image 1, rendered as glossy painted resin with fine sculpted detail. Behind the figure, place its retail box with the same character artwork printed on the front, and a computer monitor showing the figure being sculpted in a 3D modeling program. A sketchbook and a few art markers lie beside the base. Realistic indoor photo, warm desk-lamp light, shallow depth of field, no brand logos.

Prompts stay in English, the language these models follow best. Copy it as it is, or change a few words.

  1. Keep the face, hairstyle, skin tone and outfit from image 1 is the line that keeps your photo recognisable. Leave it in, whatever else you change.
  2. The layout is spelled out piece by piece: Behind the figure, place its retail box with the same character artwork printed on the front. Keep that structure and change only the content, or the model loses track of the page.
  3. This is a fill-in template: swap the parts in braces, like {extras}, in the boxes above and keep the rest word for word.

Photo edit prompt guide

Which photos work for this edit

A 1/7 scale painted resin figure of the person in image 1, standing on a clear acrylic base beside its retail box, a monitor showing the sculpt, and a sketchbook, shot as a warm indoor desk photo by Nano Banana 2.1. It works because the prompt names image 1 as the source and locks the face, hairstyle, skin tone and outfit, so the toy still reads as that person.

Use one clear photo of a single adult with the face visible and evenly lit, since the model copies the face, hairstyle, skin tone and outfit from that picture.

Works: one full-body photo of a single adult
The outfit and shoes are visible, so the model can rebuild them in painted resin with the same colours and shapes.
Works: soft, even light on the face
Clear facial features carry through the switch to glossy resin, so the figure still looks like the same person.
Avoid: group photos with several people
The prompt edits image 1 as one figure, so the model may pick the wrong person or blend faces together.
Avoid: a face hidden by sunglasses, hair or deep shadow
The model has to guess the hidden features and will often invent new ones, which breaks the likeness the prompt asks it to keep.

What each instruction does

  1. Core transformation and scaleTurn the person in image 1 into a 1/7 scale painted resin collectible figure: a full-body figure about 25 cm tall

    It tells the model to edit the picture in image 1 rather than invent a new person. Drop the image 1 reference or the scale wording and the result often looks like a generic doll or a full-size portrait.

  2. Toy look and baseclearly a sculpted toy rather than a real person, standing on a clear round acrylic base on a wooden desk

    This phrase keeps the subject a toy, not a photo of a person. Remove the clear round acrylic base or the wooden desk and the figure can look like it is floating or the scene loses its grounded tabletop look.

  3. Identity lock and finishKeep the face, hairstyle, skin tone and outfit from image 1, rendered as glossy painted resin with fine sculpted detail

    This is the identity lock. Remove it and the figure may drift into a different character, so the face and outfit no longer match image 1.

  4. Packaging and screen contextretail box with the same character artwork printed on the front, and a computer monitor showing the figure being sculpted in a 3D modeling program

    This adds packaging and a sculpting screen behind the figure, so it reads as a finished collectible with its making-of story. Remove the box or the monitor and the image becomes a plain toy shot with no story.

  5. Props and photo styleA sketchbook and a few art markers lie beside the base. Realistic indoor photo, warm desk-lamp light, shallow depth of field, no brand logos.

    The sketchbook and markers add real-world scale, and the photo line sets a warm, shallow-focus look. Drop the lamp light or the depth-of-field words and the render tends to look flat and studio-bright.

Other edits in the same pattern

Summer garden table

Swaps the desk for a summer garden table and outdoor daylight, which suits a bright lifestyle shot while the identity lines stay the same.

Prompt

Turn the person in image 1 into a 1/7 scale painted resin collectible figure: a full-body figure about 25 cm tall, clearly a sculpted toy, standing on a clear round acrylic base on a garden table. Keep the face, hairstyle, skin tone and outfit from image 1, rendered as glossy painted resin with fine sculpted detail. Behind the figure, place a sunny summer garden with blurred green plants, and a sketchbook beside the base. Realistic outdoor photo, soft daylight, shallow depth of field, no brand logos.

Cold-weather knit outfit

Changes the outfit to a knitted sweater and scarf for a cold-weather look, while the face and hairstyle stay locked to image 1.

Prompt

Turn the person in image 1 into a 1/7 scale painted resin collectible figure: a full-body figure about 25 cm tall, standing on a clear round acrylic base on a wooden desk. Keep the face and hairstyle from image 1, and sculpt the outfit as a knitted sweater and scarf, rendered as glossy painted resin with fine sculpted detail. Behind the figure, place its retail box with the same artwork on the front, and a mug beside the base. Realistic indoor photo, warm lamp light, no brand logos.

Bookshelf in the evening

Moves the scene to a bookshelf under cool evening window light, a good pick for a quiet study-themed collectible shot.

Prompt

Turn the person in image 1 into a 1/7 scale painted resin collectible figure: a full-body figure about 25 cm tall, standing on a clear round acrylic base on a wooden bookshelf. Keep the face, hairstyle, skin tone and outfit from image 1, rendered as glossy painted resin with fine sculpted detail. Behind the figure, place a row of old hardcover books and a small potted plant, with a sketchbook beside the base. Realistic indoor photo, cool evening window light, shallow depth of field, no brand logos.

Model and settings

Keep the aspect ratio at 3:4, which suits a tall collectible shot of a figure with its box and monitor in frame. Use one input picture in image-to-image mode, since the prompt refers to image 1 and the face and outfit come only from that photo. The example used 1k resolution; for other uses, keep 3:4 for a portrait box shot, switch to a wider ratio for a landscape scene, and raise the resolution for a bigger print. Keep the image 1 reference whenever you change settings.

  • Seedream 5.0 ProPick Seedream 5.0 Pro when you have several photos of the same person, since its tagline promises high-detail edits from up to ten references. That extra input helps the face and outfit stay consistent while the resin sculpt keeps its fine detail.
  • FLUX.2 ProPick FLUX.2 Pro when a photoreal look matters most or when the box artwork needs an exact colour, since it offers hex colour control. It suits the realistic indoor photo request and helps match the character colours across the box and base.

When the edit misses

The face or hairstyle drifts away from image 1, so the figure looks like a different person.
Keep the sentence 'Keep the face, hairstyle, skin tone and outfit from image 1' exactly as written. If the likeness still drifts, add 'same face as image 1' right after the first sentence.
The figure looks like a real person in a photo instead of a toy.
Keep 'clearly a sculpted toy rather than a real person' word for word. If the skin still looks human, add 'smooth painted resin skin' to the sentence about the finish.
The whole picture is repainted, so the desk, box and monitor change too much.
Add 'edit only the figure and keep the desk and background unchanged' at the end of the prompt, and keep 'Realistic indoor photo' so the rest of the image stays photographic.
The figure's shadows do not match the warm desk-lamp light, so the figure looks pasted onto the desk.
Keep 'warm desk-lamp light' and 'shallow depth of field' as written, and add 'soft shadow under the base from the lamp' to tie the figure to the desk.

Questions about this edit prompt

Can Nano Banana 2.1 turn my own photo into a resin figure?

Yes, with one clear photo of one adult, because the prompt refers to image 1 and copies the face, hairstyle, skin tone and outfit from it. Group photos or hidden faces usually give a weaker likeness.

Why does my figure look like a photo of a person and not a toy?

The sentence 'clearly a sculpted toy rather than a real person' is what pushes the model toward a toy, so keep it word for word. Without it, the glossy painted resin wording alone can leave the skin looking human.

Can I change the desk or the props without losing the figure?

Yes, edit the scene lines only, such as the monitor or the sketchbook, and keep the figure sentences unchanged. In Nano Banana 2.1 the box artwork and monitor screen are usually the easiest parts to change, while the face sentence should stay the same.
