Max took a look at the Original Stormtrooper Dartboard Surround – S8 “Pew Pew Boom”, and this one was pure fun from the first second. We’re not reviewing the matching board here (we’ll do that separately), but as a standalone surround, this is exactly the kind of quirky, geeky home setup upgrade that instantly makes your dart space feel like your dart space. Max is a massive Star Wars/sci-fi fan, and that enthusiasm really came through — this is the sort of surround you buy because you want something that stands out from the crowd, not just something that quietly does the job.
First impressions were seriously strong. The colours are vibrant, the printing is fantastic, and even with such a large central image, Max expected potential blur or bleeding — but didn’t see it. The writing looked crystal clear, and the foam felt like a nice, dense, hard EVA-style surround that should take the usual punishment from wild darts when friends or family have a throw. That dense feel matters, because with a fully printed design like this, you still want it to be a proper functional surround, not just a decorative one.
Once it was on the wall, the whole vibe clicked. Max loved how it looked in a real dart room setting and said he’d happily have one at home — even at Super League or local league — because it’s different, bold, and a bit of fun. We didn’t throw on this specific surround in the review (because this one was part of a giveaway setup), so we can’t comment on how the marks will look over time from our own session. But the product is explicitly designed to protect your wall from stray darts, fit tightly around a standard dartboard without extra fixings, and is built from a very durable polymer — exactly what you want from a proper printed surround.
In short, the Original Stormtrooper S8 “Pew Pew Boom” Dartboard Surround is a fully printed, officially licensed statement piece built to protect the wall, fit snugly around a standard board with no extra fixings, and deliver that standout sci-fi look for players who want their dart room to feel a bit more personal (and a lot more fun).

The Review
Original StormTrooper Darts Corner Dartboard Surround
We absolutely get the appeal of the Pew Pew Boom Stormtrooper surround. The print is bold and clean, the colours really pop, and the foam feels dense and high quality in the hand. It’s a brilliant option for players who want something more fun and personal than a plain surround, while still getting proper wall protection. We didn’t put darts into this one during the review, so we can’t judge mark concealment from our own session, but the build and official design intent suggest it’s made to be durable and practical, not just a display piece
