Baby Yoda Bakpacks
Not only is season 3 of the show coming soon, but one of the show’s breakout stars, Grogu (aka The Child, aka Baby Yoda) is EVERYWHERE. We’ve already seen our share of Grogu merchandise and Grogu snacks, but now we’re about to see a GIGANTIC baby Yoda hovering over New York!
That’s right — According to Star Wars.com, Baby Yoda is getting his own Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon! The balloon will be an original Funko Pop!-inspired design as part of a collaboration between Funko and Macy’s. And the balloon will make history — this will be the first time a Star Wars balloon has ever been part of the parade in all its 95 years!

The Grogu balloon will measure 41-feet high, 29-feet long, and 37-feet wide. Yes, it’s HUGE. Even better, you’ll also be able to get your own replica of the balloon because Funko will be releasing new figures…
