Firebox's 'Giant inflatable Unicorn' is proof that not all inflatable animals need be relegated to the realm of pool toys and parade floats. The "massive mythical mare," as the company calls it, is a piece of novelty decor meant for display inside, where it can majestically keep its owners company.
The Giant Inflatable Unicorn stands at seven feet tall when fully inflated, meaning that consumers will need a relatively substantial amount of living space in order to house the mythical beast. It is crafted from durable, heavy-duty vinyl, making it very difficult to rupture. That durability is important, as Firebox recommends using the unicorn as "the party accessory to eclipse all other party accessories," and a party with the Giant Inflatable Unicorn is bound to get raucous.
