That’s No Moon, It’s a Death Star Pumpkin
October 4th, 2012
I present to you the ultimate power in the Halloween universe. A fully operational Death Star pumpkin. You kids better hold your candy tight otherwise it’s tractor beam will steal your hard earned stash.
This geeky pumpkin was hand painted and it looks like it took a lot of time to get all of that detail. It’s not a real pumpkin, because you wouldn’t want to see a Death star rot after a few weeks. It’s a fake pumpkin painted with UV reactive and glow in the dark paint.
It measures about 7.5″ tall with a 9″ diameter. It was created by Etsy seller LuckyCricketART and will cost you $225 (USD). While that’s a lot of money for a fake pumpkin, I suppose it’s not a bad price at all if you absolutely must destroy Alderaan.

This is Cricket. I painted the Death Star you have featured above. Just wanted to thank you for including my LABOR OF LOVE on your webpage. it did indeed take a long time – about 20 hours- to complete. And the windows and highlights on the Superlaser Focus Lens are all painted with special UV reactive paint that glows under a black light OR in total darkness. I truly hope a REAL STar Wars fan will purchase it and give it a loving, appreciative home for years to come! YAY!
Glad to oblige. Hope it finds a good home.
:) Me too! If it doesn’t, it’ll always have a good home with me. I’m a big Star Wars fan, obviously.
