Are you people dense?

We need an Appule balloon!

Oolong with a grin, and his panties.

I'm watching Oprah right now. Awkward episode, it's about women acheiving something durring sex...

Anyways, I remember seeing a Goku and Vegeta giant headed costumed folk walking around at the annual Toronto Santa Claus Parade years ago.

I was being sarcastic in that Oprah post but the point is that I can't understand why anyone would even bother to watch that show unless their name was Duke Nukem.

BOT: Nail balloon!

I'd like to see a Shenlong balloon; just because he's so gigantic in the series that to have a giant facsimile like that in real life would be fun to see. X3

My 2nd choice would be Goku. (Chibi Goku, on Kinto'un; because it'd be cute that way X3 ) He'd be my first; but you know how ridiculously difficult it is to translate that hair to 3-D in the games that 3-D'ing it to giant balloon standards would be near-impossible.

Not strictly speaking Dragonball (sorry, Mike), but here's one I did for a photoshop contest once.

*head-desk*

Unless you were being funny, which, knowing you, is highly likely.

If that was Iron Monger, I think "Iron Thong-er" would fit him better.

Anyway, I'd like to see a Shenron one the most.

Pfft. Shenron is better to look at than flippin' Garfield or Kermit the Frog!

No wait, I take that back. I like Kermit!

Don't you ever badmouth Garfield or Kermit again.

I know.

Was just partially leading someone closer to the real answer... and watching Tori-bot head-desk once more.

Oh that silly Iron Manger and his shenanigans!

I liked the episode of the Iron Manager cartoon where he had to eat all of the trash at a car scrapper facility so that the environment would continue to be habitable for human life to exist for the ages to come.

I've watched the Macy's Thanksgiving parade once, not on tv though. I got up really early, took the train to Manhattan, stood outside in the middle of a crowed sidewalk, hugging myself in cold fall weather, and waited for the parade pass by. Never did it again. But I always wondered if they would ever make DB related parade balloon, let alone allow it.

If I had to pick it would be Goku riding Shen Long (like on the cover of the first DB volume), Krillin's big bald head (they could put him right behind Charlie Brown), or fat Buu. I think these would make great DB Macy's parade balloons.

I'm pretty sure if someone just snuck into the place(Where they store the baloons, duh!) and just PAINTED the Charlie Brown float, you'd get a just as good Kuririn float.

...and yes, it IS that easy.

Anything with Kintoun would be absolutely perfect. Young Goku on Kintoun would be awesome, but Goku and Gohan on Kintoun, with Hironobu Kageyama on a nearby float singing, would be even better.

Vegetto and Bulma on Kinto'Un would be tres cool. Maybe Broli.

Broli would black out the sky. And if he deflates, he'll kill all the spectators.

I don't think it's out of the question for FUNimation to fund an actual balloon for the parade. Dragon Ball Z is already very popular with the children of America. And hell, if Pikachu can get his own balloon, I don't see why Goku can't!

P.S. Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi had their own float in the parade and that show aired on CN. So, anything is possible. (no pun intended)

I'd die to see Goku holding Gohan while riding Kinto'un.

But knowing how this stuff usually goes it would either be Broli or Vegeta crushing a scouter.
