Giant Inflatable Cobra at Netflix’s Cobra Kai Premiere
Netflix went big for the final season of Cobra Kai, held at the historic Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood on February 12th. Among the many highlights was a massive inflatable cobra, designed and manufactured by Inflatable Design Group as an eye-catching nod to the show’s iconic dojo.
The premiere inflatable served as a prime red carpet photo opportunity for attendees, including The Karate Kid legends Ralph Macchio and William Zabka. The larger-than-life snake towered over premiere attendees, quickly taking over social media. It also appeared in the Getty Images coverage, proving that a well-executed inflatable can steal the show.
Premiere Inflatables for Hollywood’s Biggest Events
Inflatable Design Group has provided custom inflatables for some of the biggest Hollywood red carpet events. At the Kung Fu Panda 3 premiere, a giant inflatable panda set the stage at the TCL Chinese Theatre, creating a vibrant backdrop for the event and stars like Jack Black, Kate Hudson, Angelina Jolie, and Bryan Cranston.
The inflatable helped enhance the red-carpet experience, ensuring the event was a visually striking spectacle. Read more about the event in the Hollywood Reporter article about the event.
Inflatable Activations and Promotions Before a Premiere
Premiere inflatables are not just for red carpet events, they also make incredible marketing tools in the weeks and days leading up to a movie or show release. For example, we created giant inflatable replicas of the title characters of the adult cartoon Tuca and Bertie. These inflatable characters floated along the coasts of New York City and Los Angeles on a giant barge, drawing attention to the show’s upcoming Adult Swim premiere.
Another standout example, also for Adult Swim, is our inflatable activation for Smiling Friends. These inflatables popped up overnight in cities across the US, including Las Vegas, featuring a built-in character cutouts, custom lighting, and sound boxes that made it seem like the animated characters were chatting inside. These unexpected installations generated buzz and encouraged fans to interactive and share their experiences across social media.
