What it is
For a few weeks, every feed was AI-generated action figures — "starter packs" of people in toy packaging, complete with accessories representing their personality. Upload a photo, get a toy version of you.
Why it's spreading
It's flattering (you, but a collectible), funny (the accessories are always slightly off), and everyone looked equally ridiculous doing it.
The one thing to know
Pretty innocent, as these things go — the usual caveat about uploading photos to AI tools applies, but this one was harmless fun.
