Darth Vader Star Wars Pinata, Pull String, 18 x 17in

This pinata does not hold much candy. So, I altered it. I stuck my hand in the hole in the back and poked through the head inside. I then took 2 heavy duty cable ties and poked holes on each side to support the head & shoulders. I was able to stuff so much candy inside the head & shoulders of Darth Vadar. The cable ties helped to keep this heavy weight in full swing for awhile. Everybody got the chance to break the pinata.

This pinata looked great; my son loved it! Please notice the "pull string" description in the title. It seems most pinatas are going away from "whacking them" method and to the pull string, but my son didn't want to pull the strings! He wanted the traditional approach. So, that's what we did. It DID work - sort of. The head disconnected from the neck pretty quickly, but they held together just enough to allow the two kids (thanks co-vid!) to keep at it. However, two or three pieces of candy fell out at a time. It was less of a big drop and more like a trickle. With only having two kids there, it worked fine, but I could see a piece or two falling out here and there may not work so well with a big group expecting the scramble.

Its a cool looking piñata, he has a cape and everything! The kids had a great time with this at my sons Star Wars 9th Birthday party. Fits 2 large bags of candy.

This was the first piñata we hung up for our son. It was so much fun. It arrived in perfect state. The piñata is not pre-filled with candy, so you must buy the candy separately and stuff it in through the concealed opening on the bottom of the piñata. Have fun!

I don't know who is the genius who came up with the idea for this type of piñata, but it is absolutely amazing! I love the fact we don't have to worry about hanging it far enough away to where no one will get hit with a stick. Instead kids pull or take turns pulling one string and the one that opens up the piñata does so effortlessly and smoothly with the pull of the string It's amazing!! Just makes the whole piñata experience safer and a lot more fun for the kids and eases the stress of parents. Amazing product I would definitely repurchase and or recommend this to anyone planning a birthday

The Pinata arrived early in time for a birthday party. Big hit, just the right size.

This piñata easily broke when I hit at the neck. If the first hit is in the wrong space the party is over

This pinata fell apart after 3 kids had 3 hits each, and these lids were 5-6 years old. But the worst part is that the pinata has 2 parts: the head which is just for decoration and does not hold candy, and a rectangular box the is attached under the head. The box holds the candy. When the 3Rd kid hit it, the rectangular box detached from the head and fell to the ground, but did not come open. So having no way to hang the box back up for more hits, I just held it up in the air & tore it open with my hands so the kids could go after the candy totally lame. The pinata looks good, but the box should be more firmly attached to the head that supports it.
