Artist SKET ONE created the Sriracha-inspired 'Sketracha Dunny' for a continuation of Kidrobot's stylized character series.
The Dunny figurine takes on the shape of a Sriracha bottle and holds a pair of green chopsticks that match its bright sauce lid, although the product does not contain edible Sriracha sauce. However, like an authentic Sriracha bottle, the Dunny collectible features icons and text that fans of the condiment will recognize.
To enhance the experience of collecting these fun three-inch figurines, Kidrobot is packaging its Sketracha Dunny in blind boxes, which may contain either the "full" or an "empty" Sketracha Dunny style. As Kidrobot describes: "Neither you or us know which one you are going to get which adds to the fun."
