For 4 points, this is your question.
This balloon debuted in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1977. In 1979, I was the first balloon from the parade to go outside of the US when I went to London to help celebrate the International Year of the Child. In 1987, I received the Rollie Award, an award named for Rowland H. Macy, for my years of service to the parade. I was in the parade consecutively until 1991. I reappeared again as a float in 2002. Name this character.

Let's see what you get.

Oh boy!! John, you get a 50 and we'll be talking about serious money.
Now, there's a die here of 10,20,25,30,40,and 50.
Let's see if you get the big 50.
(rolls)
[25]
Well, it's half.
You'll be playing for
$25,000
Now, let's see if we can double it to $50,000. You'll do that if you roll an even number. Otherwise, it stays at $25,000.
Let's roll.
