So the question is who would you want on _your_ life size cardboard cutout? You kind of nailed it in the OP. ---

I’d want a Kool-Aid Man and a separate background that looked like a destroyed wall. Or maybe I would like to have my picture taken while I dine with the cardboard cutouts of the cast of Friends. See, that is a card in Cards Against Humanity, and it would be fun to send that picture to my friends who play that game. ---

I used to have a life-sized cutout of Pete Townshend in his [Maximum R&B pose](https://store.bandmerch.com/productimg/zoom/A97283B041.jpg). Got it from a friend who worked in a record store. When I moved I gave it to the guy who worked on my truck…I believe he hung it up in the shop and used it for a dart board. 😃 ---

I already have a Dalek. It’s folded up and in storage behind a bookshelf. There was a life-size cardboard Beverly Crusher available about two decades ago. I really wanted that one, but decided I didn’t have room. Really can’t think of anything I want now.
