How did I ever find joy without this? If you're looking at this, you are going to wonder the same thing after you hit buy it now and hurry to check the date he will arrive to your home. He brings joy to an empty space along with his friends I ordered to keep him company. A must buy. 5 death stars.

It was easy to put put up. It looks better than expected. I was worried about the seams other reported, but I found this to be very minor on mine.

It is cardboard box stock with the picture printed on it. I carefully unfolded it on the floor and was very careful not to wrack the cardboard parts when unfolding the cutout and stand glued to it. It all folded together perfectly and stands rigidly.

There are two seams where the 3 panels come together. They don't jump out at me. Unless you look for them, you are not likely to notice them. If you refold it to store and put it back up a few times, I'm sure how well it will hold up. Being all cardboard, it's not really designed to hold up to that.

Short of sending it as one non-folding piece, it's as good as it can be and it's pretty good. As it is, the box it came in measured 45"x32"x3". The folded cutout is 48"x 22". To ship it as one 7' long piece would incur a large shipping charge for such an oversize item. I think it was a fair price for around $40 delivered.

He was perfect for Photo Booth

Very happy with this purchase. I wasn't sure about paying $39 for this but the quality was excellent and it was a great addition to our party. Now Vader has a place of honor in my Hubby's man cave. I am glad we went with this version of Vader as he was the original Vader from the old movies. He is a lighter color than some of the others but that made him show up better in photos. The light saber really had a glowing look to it as well. The Vader is nice and tall, My husband (standing next to it) is 6ft so that will give you height reference. The cutout was extremely sturdy on it's stand because it's so big and heavy, so we had to tape the back to keep him upright. He came in a huge box, bigger than i expected but even that was a bonus because he wasn't folded as much as I expected so he was in great shape. I highly recommend this item and seller!!!

I bought this cardboard standup for a Star Wars birthday party. It arrived in good shape, was easy to set up, and really is life size! Darth Vader seems super tall in the movies, but now I have a better frame of reference with my cardboard cutout. Overall, quality is fine and a good value, crowd-pleasing purchase. Now that I have him, I'm reluctant to give him up, but he stows away fairly easily. You just never know when you need a life-size cardboard Darth Vader. One caveat: my husband likes to move him around in the house just to give me a fright. Darth really does loom large and shadowy, so I'm freaked out on occasion by his mere presence. But I guess that's the point.
