NEW YORK — Macy's has revealed one of the massive balloons that will glide down Broadway at this year's Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade — and it's bound to delight fans of "The Mandalorian."
The Disney+ series' pint-sized fan favorite Grogu — aka Baby Yoda — will experience a massive growth spurt in order to be part of the annual event, of which 1010 WINS is a partner. Macys teamed up with Lucasfilm and Funko on the project.
The balloon will measure 41-feet high, 29-feet long and 37-feet wide,
"The giant balloons in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade have always reflected the very best of pop culture and there is no better example of that than Grogu who has become an instant global sensation,” said Will Coss, executive producer, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
He added. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Funko and Lucasfilm on this Funko Pop! version of the beloved character that is sure to delight legions of Star Wars galaxy fans.”
A limited-edition Macy’s Parade balloon-inspired product line will be available for sale only on Funko.com. Macy’s will also have select items from Funko available for purchase at Macy’s Herald Square this fall.
