History in the Parade
In 2005 and 2006, magic-making artists at the Macy's Parade Studio, alongside Cartoon Network, debuted the Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi float. It is modeled after the cartoon duo's decked-out, mystical tour bus. A life-sized puppet of well-intentioned but stingy, band manager Kaz, piloted the musical bus and large bobble-head editions of the duo's favorite felines, Jeng Kan and Tekirai, are also on board. Inflatable walk-around characters of Ami and Yumi popped out of the roof of the bus. This float was only seen in 2005, and is unlikely to ever return.
