next Creative LLC, a Fukuoka digital agency, has launched FIGURO, an AI and e-commerce service that turns a single photo into an original figure. Users get a free AI preview in about 30 seconds across anime, chibi, real, and semi-real styles, and production starts only after approval. Figures come in three sizes, full color or unpainted. A launch exhibit runs October 7, 2026 in Fukuoka.
next Creative LLC, based in Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City and led by representative Yoshimi Shimizu, built FIGURO in-house. The service covers personal gifts such as birthday and wedding figures, and made-to-order work for companies, including mascot characters and event novelties. Production runs at the company's own Fukuoka studio using plant-derived PLA resin, and the photo a customer submits is automatically deleted 14 days after shipping.
The launch event is set for Wednesday, October 7, 2026 at ONE FUKUOKA CONFERENCE HALL in Tenjin, part of the "Life gooes on. Women Entrepreneurs Work Exhibition," an official linked event of RAMEN TECH 2026. Figures made with FIGURO will be shown publicly there, and visitors can try the AI preview free with their own photos.
