There’s a huge market for Funko Pops inspired by your favorite athletes, movie characters, or video game icons, but what if you could transform yourself into one of these adorable figurines? Well, with AI, you can, and I’m here to show you how.
Over the years, thousands of these little statues have been commissioned, designed, and released, usually to coincide with blockbuster movie releases or iconic faces from legendary TV shows and games. Some are very easy to obtain, while other Funko Pops are so rare that it’s nearly impossible to add them to your collection.
With Microsoft’s image maker, you can create the rarest Funko Pop figure of all: you. Fans of these collectible figures have been posting their own creations on X, and you can join them by following our handy guide. The good news is that you can use Microsoft’s AI image maker for free. The bad news is that it’s just for fun, and you won’t be able to buy the Funko Pop figure you design.

Are Microsoft AI Funko Pop Images Any Good?

Can you make real custom Funko Pops?
Real custom Funko Pops can be created via the “Pop yourself” link on their website. While the customization options are much more limited than the AI version, these are officially licensed Funko Pops, which users can purchase and get their hands on.
