Comprehensive visual direction and conceptual breakdown for designing a premium Son Heung-min action figure at 1:6 scale.
1. Facial Sculpting Direction
- Balanced proportions based on 1:1:1:1:1 facial grid (forehead to chin)
- Soft almond-shaped eyes with subtle upper and lower curves
- Symmetry-focused, natural smiling expression
- Pore details centered around T-zone, gentle smile lines
2. Hair & Texture
- Side part with lifted fringe at an angle
- Individually sculpted strands with micro-cut technique
- Semi-gloss finish, dark brown shading gradients
- Volumized crown, softly flattened side silhouette
3. Kit & Apparel
- 100D microfiber material base
- Embroidered crests, heat-transferred sponsor logos
- Realistic fold and stretch marks from in-game movements
- Semi-loose fit to reflect authentic athletic wear
4. Backdrop & Packaging
- Tottenham stadium at sunset (paint-over + motion blur)
- Audience light flares and dynamic crowd composition
- Magnetic clear acrylic display box (light gray or deep green frame)
- Embossed matte black label: "SON No.7"
5. Lighting & Cinematics
- 3200K warm tone lighting, angled at 45° from left
- Rim light from right to enhance hair & shoulder definition
- Lower reflector for boots & pose highlights
- Maintain 20% background contrast to isolate subject
6. Digital Integration
- NFC tag triggers highlight reel
- QR code leads to NFT redemption page, includes scratch panel
- AR marker projects figure in real-world scale via app
7. Character Direction (Emotion & Personality)
- Smile: 3–5° upward lip curve, highlight smile creases and dimples
- Focused mode: lowered brows, downward gaze
- Action pose: wide grin with expressive hand gesture
8. Integrated Text-to-Image Prompt
Ultra-detailed 1:6 scale Son Heung-min action figure with a sculpted face based on real references.

Accessories include LED soccer ball, Golden Boot, and embedded NFC, QR, and AR features.
Shot under golden-hour lighting with soft rim light and green-beige color palette.
9. Advanced Q&A
Q1: How can AI simulate a realistic figure without actual face scanning?
Using deep facial landmark extraction → StyleGAN or mesh-based synthesis → STL conversion and manual tuning.
Q2: How can this visual framework be adapted for other celebrity figure lines?
By templating shared variables such as eye spacing, smile shape, and hair patterns across different persona types.
Q3: What's the ideal physical prototype briefing format?
1) Head-body separation reference sheet, 2) Color mapping chart, 3) Accessory parts list, 4) Render lighting configuration sheet.
