1. Choose the Perfect Photo for Your Figure

Pick a clear, well-lit photo of the person (or people) you want to turn into a figure. For double figures, select a photo where both subjects are clearly visible and positioned close together. Avoid blurry, overly dark, or heavily cropped images—these will affect the final detail of your custom Building Block figure.
Pro tip: A photo with a simple background works best, as it helps our designers focus on the subject's features and pose. Need help choosing the right photo? Read our guide on How to Take the Perfect Photo for a Custom Gift.
