This is a cool plugin you can use to generated icons and patterned avatars. Also supports faces of real people. 

This is another great plugin for making avatars in figma. It has a lot of filtering options - you can chose the gender, emotion, hair color, photo quality, etc. It's great and commercially free to use.
