History with the Macy's Parade[]
In 1985, Macy's partnered along with Mattel to create one of the most technically complex floats in Macy's Parade history, based on Masters of the Universe television program. The float's setting is on the planet of Eternia, and at the front is Castle Grayskull, the home of He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe. His arch-enemy, Skeletor makes an appearance, and standing on top of the Crystal Palace at the back, stands He-Man’s sister, She-Ra. The float was retired after 1986.
