Now, I know you might be questioning the title. “What even is a Buddy?” I hear you crying at your screen. Well, it is the most useful thing you might buy for driving and setting a scene. No… I’m not joking. 😂

What is a Buddy?

Let’s start with the basics. Think of our Lifesize Cutouts that I have been raving to you all about for the last several months, and cut the height down so it’s just the upper torso. Just 60cm in height, which, as you can tell, is significantly smaller than if you ordered someone tall like Keanu Reeves.

However, the Strut is significantly different.

How Does It Work?

Now, I mentioned the Strut of the Buddy. It is positioned below the Cutout itself, which allows it to be easily set up on a table, on a chair, or in your car’s passenger seat at the perfect height to be seen by all.

But there’s another clever part to the Strut. It has four perforated lines, allowing you to adjust the height to suit exactly where you want your Buddy positioned. Whether you want them sitting higher in a chair, lower on a table, or at the perfect height in your car, you can adjust the Strut to get it just right.

Your New Travel Companion 🚗

Now, while having a Celebrity sitting in your car is certainly going to get some attention, there is actually another reason you might want to take your Buddy with you.

Security.

Travelling alone can sometimes make you feel more vulnerable, particularly when you’re sitting in your car by yourself. Having the outline of another person sitting in the passenger seat can make it look like you’re not travelling alone.

And let’s be honest, most people aren’t going to take a second look at who is sitting there.

From a distance, they see a person.

You see your favourite Celebrity.

The person looking into your car sees someone sitting in the passenger seat, which can make your vehicle look less vulnerable and potentially discourage opportunistic thieves from approaching it.

It could be particularly useful when you’re travelling, stopping at unfamiliar places, or leaving your car parked somewhere while you’re away. Having your Buddy sitting in the passenger seat means there is always someone there… sort of. 😂

Of course, a Cardboard Cutout isn’t a replacement for proper security, and you should never rely on it as your only security measure. But as an additional visual deterrent, having what looks like another person in the car could make someone think twice before approaching.

And the best part?

Your Buddy doesn’t get tired, doesn’t complain about the music, doesn’t ask, “Are we there yet?” and will happily sit in the passenger seat for the entire journey.

Now that’s a travel companion. 😂

Another Driving Use 🚗

Have you ever been sat there in traffic and looked at the people in the carpool lane speeding past you and wished you were them?

Well, now you can be!

It’s not like anyone checks. It’s just the fear that someone will. And with a Buddy, you can drive by with confidence, as they will see someone in the passenger seat and probably won’t put together that it is Sebastian Stan sitting in your passenger seat and David Tennant in the back.

Boom.

This slight investment just saved you 10 minutes of waiting in traffic every day. 😂

And that’s the beauty of a Buddy. Whether you’re looking to add a bit of chaos to your daily commute, create a funny scene, or simply want to confuse everyone around you, there’s always room for another passenger.

Just remember to keep your eyes on the road. Your Buddy can do the celebrity spotting for you. 👀

Other Uses for Your Buddy 🍷

Are you having a lonely night in and just want some company? Want a really good photo opportunity? Well, we present an opportunity for you to really set the mood.

A candlelit dinner with your favourite Celebrity. 🕯️🍷

Imagine it. You’ve got the table set, the candles are lit, the food is ready, and sitting opposite you is… Kim Kardashian.

Now, technically, Kim Kardashian isn’t actually there. She’s made of Cardboard. But does that really matter? You’re still getting the perfect photo opportunity. 😂

You could recreate the most romantic dinner imaginable, have your favourite Celebrity sitting across from you, or even make it look like you’ve somehow managed to get a Celebrity to come over for dinner.

And because it’s a Buddy, you don’t need to find somewhere to put a full Lifesize Cutout. Just put them in a chair opposite you and suddenly you’ve got the perfect dinner companion.

Of course, this isn’t just for romantic dinners. You could use your Buddy for birthdays, parties, photoshoots, gaming setups, or even just to make your friends question why there is a Celebrity sitting at your table.

Honestly, the possibilities are endless.

Just don’t expect them to pay for dinner. They’re Cardboard. 😂

Sparked any ideas?

Now that you’ve seen just a few of the things you can do with a Buddy, I’m sure you’ve already thought of something I haven’t.

Whether it’s a Celebrity sitting in your car, joining you for dinner, appearing in a photoshoot, or just confusing everyone who walks past your house, a Buddy can be whatever you want it to be.

So, what are you waiting for?

Pick your favourite Celebrity, get your Buddy, and let the chaos begin. 😂
