There's no way it can get any love when compared to the sheer awesomness that is Cap chasing Enchantress around like a Benny Hill sketch. What's great about the 1989 parade is Dr. Doom getting down and all willy-nilly to that "Hero" song. Oh, the irony of that is just delicious. (Side note: Is it bad that I prefer the Chipmunks version of that song?) I feel bad for the Chris Ware interview.

It's the same float, with the same collapsing tower. And the most of the characters and costumes, as far as I can tell. Which leads to the logical question... was there a 1988 float?

And all the X-Men needed to do, in all of those years, was make one phone call to the Avengers Mansion... I like the way Cap casually tossed Magneto aside with ease.

But the YouTube bit for 1989 seemed a bit poorer in video quality, so I decided against it.

Really. Marvel HAD a ROBO-COP series out at the time. This was probably an easy way to promote it and cheap too, since I'm sure Paramount (or whomever onws the rights to Robo-Cop) made the suit. ~P~ P-TOR No.

The roster has (not surprisingly as it would've been Marvel's most recent big multi-character "licensing" property) a very "Secret Wars" vibe to it. Enchantress was fairly prominent in Secret Wars, so that'd explain her presence. Emma Frost is actually the oddity to me, apart from being a pretty easy costume to make and one to hold the attention of Dad on the parade route....

I mean, who would have thought that Luke Cage and Enchantress would be good choices to make some average kid home from school that day say "Radical! I need to start reading comics in between playing Duck Hunt and and skateboarding!" Also, who knew Dr. Doom and a deceased Green Goblin could support the weight of the Hulk? All and all, nice find!

(Link at end of this comment) Including the announcer-lady's gaffe about WonderWoman being a Marvel super-hero, Metropolis being the city they live in and Doctor Strange having an EXPLOSIVE UNDERGROUND LAB. Melba Moore "sings" some lame song too. Enjoy the cheeserrific wonderment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc5l91No2gM If you liked the 1987 Thansgiving Day parade Marvel float, then you'll love the 1989 one.
