Dead simple (I hope)

I have been busy re-decorating jnr's bedroom for the couple of days, and although I will admit it was somewhat foolish to consult with a four year old, and indeed, allow him to choose his own colour scheme, it actually doesn't look too bad- notwithstanding the slight paint spillage yesterday-so we come to finishing.
Jnr has picked carpet, curtains and the like, I now just need to build some shelves (which may require power tools- will attempt to video for old times sake!).
What the budding young interior design guru has asked for is a large buzz lightyear sticker for one wall.

So... Does anyone know where such an item might be available, or indeed, are there any folk on here with access to kit to print one on a suitable material?

Ideally about 4 feet high, and removeable if possible (without too much damage)

fingers crossed, over to you.....

cheers for that, but ideally wanted one from the film rather than the the cartoon series.

If that makes any sense as they are both cartoons!

I've just ordered wall stickers from a website for a nursery. If you google wall stickers I'm sure you'll find something and they are designed to be removeable.

If I can remember/ find the site name I'll pop it on here.

Emsman - if you find anything in the US and it won't ship to the UK, let me know. I will have it sent to me and then I'll ship it out to you...

...having an eight year old son, I know how important this stuff is to them.

Give FPL Print a try. 01923772144

Ask for Robert and tell him that Rob from Supapress put you in touch. If he can't do it, he would be able to point you in the direction of someone who can.

Find an image on the net, print it onto acetate, use an overhead projector (if you're allowed anywhere near incandescent bulbs yet), and project it onto the wall. Trace it out with a pencil and colour it in with emulsion or gloss or something.

This ^^

Stickers leave marks, this can be painted over easily.

Plus there is the added "look what my Dad made" factor biggrin

What about a cardboard standee, the type they put in shops to advertise DVD's etc?

Should be easy to wall hang.

Thanks folks, some great offers as always from the good people of PH.

Think I am going to get the image posted (thanks indeed) and get a mate to print it on a plotter in 2 or 3 bits onto self adhesive vinyl, then stick it on the wall.

Much appreciated folks- watch out for the 'emsman falling downstairs whilst decorating' thread- won't be long I'm sure

There's also a logo here if you need it too (also vector - so it'll go to any size):
