Mount the figure on a round, clear acrylic base with no markings. On a nearby display, show this exact figurine in a 3D viewport with visible wireframe and texture layers. Place a premium collector’s box beside the screen, using original key art with crisp, two-dimensional flat illustration graphics.”

“Create a 1/7 scale commercial figure of the pictured characters, ultra-real, arranged on a wooden collector shelf among other figures and art books. Set the figurine on a round transparent acrylic base without any text. A wall-mounted display presents the ongoing 3D sculpt/modeling of this same figure. Include a high-end packaging box on the shelf, styled like top-tier collectibles and printed with original key art in clean, flat 2D illustration panels.”

“Generate a 1/7 scale retail-ready figure of the characters from the photo, photorealistic, showcased on a trade-show booth table with branded backdrops and ambient expo lighting. Use a round, text-free transparent acrylic base. On a nearby screen, depict the modeling timeline or viewport of this figurine in progress. Position a luxury collector’s toy box next to the display, featuring original artwork and a premium packaging look with two-dimensional flat illustration elements.”
