The Force-sensitive Grogu from “The Mandalorian” will make his debut as a Funko Pop!-inspired balloon at the 2021 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Nov. 25.
But earlier this month the first Star Wars-themed balloon ever in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade took a test flight in New York City.

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.
