What Is a Standup?

Star Wars Standups

Marilyn Monroe

No, not as in comedy - think decorations and gifts. Generally, a standup is a life-size photograph of a celebrity, famous person or character, backed with heavy duty cardboard. An easel is provided so that this large cutout can stand up on its own (hence the term "standup"). They are often called "cardboard cutouts", too, though this does not imply the life size nature of this unique decoration.
Standups make great gifts for fans of almost any genre. Hollywood legends like Elvis and Marilyn Monroe are very popular, both in a variety of poses from movies and television clips. Politicians are fun as well, from George Washington to Barack Obama and many presidents, vice presidents and senators in between. Pop stars like Justin Bieber, WWE wrestlers, and characters from all kinds of movies from Disney to Tim Burton (e.g. Snow White to Jack Skellington). Enjoy life size animals from polar bears to dinosaurs (well, the dinos are tall, but mostly not "lifesize").Plus, there are cutouts that create photo ops as standins or standees: stand behind the standup and place your face in the hole provided and become a bride or groom, surfers, hockey player, referee and more.
