The Force-sensitive Grogu from “The Mandalorian” will debut as a Funko Pop!-inspired balloon at the 2021 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Nov. 25.
This will be the first Star Wars-themed balloon ever in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The balloon is set to measure 41-feet high, 29-feet long, and 37-feet wide. It is designed by Funko art director Reis O’Brien and is designed to look like Pop! style of collectibles.
Not only will you be able to watch Grogu fly over the streets of Manhattan on NBC, Thursday, Nov. 25, from 9 a.m. to noon, you will also be able to take home Funko Pop toys based on the balloon.
Funko has developed line of bobbleheads, deluxe bobbleheads, keychains, and apparel based on the Grogu-inspired balloon, alongside a limited-edition series of balloon-themed Pop! products that will be available exclusively at Funko.com. Macy’s will also feature select items from Funko available for purchase at Macy’s Herald Square in New York City this fall.
