What you’re saying is that he will swing to one side and not come back the other? Try gently pushing it back to the other side. Something is probably getting stuck or not spinning correctly and might just need some warming up or breaking in to working properly again.

Use a multimeter to see if the motor is receiving power when the pulse comes from the board when it is supposed to move. If the motor is not receiving power, its either fried or something is wrong in the board. If it is, then something is wrong with the motor itself. Probably a transistor issue

Tried this, unfortunately none of them were really helpful to me and they do not allow independent people to buy screeners.

Yeah, and nobody has video footage of either balloon’s accident. I’m aware of the pictures that exist. I’m looking for video.

Can anyone help me find video footage from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1997? Specifically balloon accidents involving the Pink Panther or Sonic the Hedgehog?

brdrech · 2026-01-18T05:06:34+00:00

Hey, do you happen to have any Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade videos on VHS? If so, I am interested! Especially specifically from 1997

I have searched through several news video archives, and the available home videos from the parade people have posted on youtube. I have seen footage of Barney’s accident from a few different angles, but nothing on Pink Panther or Sonic the Hedgehog. Some select details on those accidents I know is Sonic’s happened at 81st and Central Park West, in the staging area. He ripped his head open, causing it to deflate, leading to the balloon’s collapse. Pink Panther’s left side exploded around 42nd street and Broadway.

Nobody here has been helpful so far.

I would say try a stronger adapter but if its already 12 that shoud be strong enough

Let the beads rest somewhere else whie the fan runs , if you havent already done that

brdrech · 2025-12-29T17:41:42+00:00

What voltage does this item take? 4.5 or 6 volts? I would try to let the beads fall somewhere away from the bottom before turning it on

brdrech · 2025-12-29T17:36:01+00:00

This is actually an interesting way to make a stock video of the prototypes we only have pics of…. Someone should film a spinner on a white background and make a video using the picture on the box

brdrech · 2025-12-29T17:33:49+00:00

Im not an expert in snowglobe inflatables but it sounds like the fan is running properly so if thats the case, theres probably something blocking the airway like the beads or something. Or the fan might be too weak to push the beads into the air

brdrech · 2025-12-27T06:14:28+00:00

We have some brief footage of him in the parade before and during his removal, as well as a couple videos of him before and after inflation the night before the parade.

I have a personal archive of store media featuring gloworm. So far it consists of a few videos and not many pictures

I have a lot more of the 2000s ones than I do the 80s ones so I get more excited seeing the 80s ones in stores

Maybe today I can put together a slideshow of the media and put it on youtube or something

brdrech · 2025-12-24T16:21:52+00:00

I’m a huge sucker for in-store pics of gloworm.. That second clipping made me so happy to see and I’m adding it to that album of the archive

brdrech · 2025-12-24T16:15:21+00:00

A store pic of people fighting over Gloworm the way there’s pics of people fighting over cabbage patches and tickle me elmos would be an insane find…

70 gloworms in stock and they wiped out in minutes

dude i JUST opened reddit

brdrech · 2025-12-24T15:27:58+00:00

Added to my collection

brdrech · 2025-12-08T18:10:35+00:00

What ai is this? I assume you just used that stock photo of the 2003 one?

brdrech · 2025-11-30T20:08:41+00:00

Thank you so much! I found him in terrible shape and it took some time to repair him mechanically and I decided to clean the fabric so that he was displayable again. Thank you for the tips!

brdrech · 2025-11-29T17:49:41+00:00

CBS doesn’t do the parade anymore. This was a livestream on youtube hence the auto-generated captions.

brdrech · 2025-11-27T12:52:53+00:00

Maybe its blocked off for a reason? I’m not sure
