  • Color Palette: Pastel grays, neon pinks/greens, and white accents (RGB: #D3D3D3, #FF69B4, #00FF7F)
  • Packaging Features: Bubble-style fonts, geometric borders, and retro logos (think "Mega Force" or "Extreme Sports" labels)
  • Figure Poses: Casual stances (hands-in-pockets, leaning), iconic 90s gestures (peace signs, microphone holds)
• Nostalgic Vibe: Recreates the look of 90s toy packaging and pop culture, evoking memories of Saturday morning cartoons and retro video games

3. Pose Guidance:
   • Classic 90s poses: sitting on a vintage skateboard, holding a microphone like a pop star, or leaning with one hand on hip
