Months after Ghibli left netizens busy, a new trend has now caught the attention of internet users, which allows them to create an AI-powered hyper-realistic 3D figurines of themselves, celebrities, or even pets.

The visually impressive result of the trend and the simplicity in using it have earned the attention of hundreds of users across the globe.

Known as 'Nano Banana', the trend is powered by Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash Image model.

The tool is transforming ordinary portraits into toy-like figurines packaged as collectables.

To create the trendy styled images, people need to upload an image image of themselves and then use a prompt to get the desired result.

As per the Gemini website, Nano Banana is the top-rated image editing tool from Google DeepMind.

"Upload your photos at gemini.google and go bananas," the website said.

In India, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma even created a figurine of himself and sharde it on X by saying: "My young friends suggested me to go with the trend — so here it is."
