It is hard to say what are the most popular life size cardboard cutouts. Probably political figures and rock stars are at the top of the list, but number one could just as easily be Tinkerbell showing up at children's birthday parties or a full-size Alice used to promote the 'Wonderland' DVD at stores across the nation.
Many famous people have been honored as the subject of life size cut outs. Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga can be seen around town, either next to their records in stores or in the foyer of a home where a party is going on. Guests could also be greeted by the President of the United States - or by Tinkerbell, for that matter. Batman or the Joker, or Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow - it's your choice. It is also possible to make a life size cut out much more personal by sending off one of your own photographs to get a custom, free-standing figure. Imagine having your grandmother see a full-size image of herself in her wedding gown as she arrives at her eightieth birthday party. Anything that suits the occasion can be an attention-grabbing accent to the party.
If you go online, you will see photo galleries of many popular examples of the life size cardboard cutout. You will see Michael Jackson, Elvis, past and present presidents, Tinkerbell, and Santa. There will be hundreds more for you to survey, indexed by subject or genre. To make a cut out, a glossy photo is bonded to a stiff backing, which is then trimmed to exactly fit the image. Sometimes the print is done right on the backing in one step rather than two. A stand on the back of the figure means that it can stand on its own with no other support.
As well as depictions of famous people or characters from books, films, or television, there are trick cut outs. There may be no head or holes where faces can show through, to enable people to put their own faces in a souvenir photo. This sort of gimmick works well for fund raisers, company parties, local fairs, and youth gatherings. Think about getting your own face on a svelte figure cuddled up to Edward Cullen of 'Twilight' fame, or having your toddler smiling next to Cinderella.
Of course, there is another use for these eye-catching fixtures. Many are used for advertising. Bars might station a curvaceous cutie next to a cold beer bottle as large as she is. Both, of course, will be printed on paper. Country music stars allow their likenesses to be used to promote store sweepstakes or their own concerts.
Therefore it may not be necessary to know what are the most popular lifesize cardboard cutouts. It may be enough to know that you can have the perfect one for any purpose by checking what is available online or having your own custom one made for you in time for your special event.
