If you've never seen South Park, the South Park x Kidrobot 'Dead Kenny' should give you a pretty good indication of what happens to one of the characters in every episode.
Poor Kenny can never catch a break. The kid's been beaten, shot at and ripped apart for a good 15 years. Seeing the South Park x Kidrobot 'Dead Kenny' will remind you of all the cruddy things that the character has unfortunately been through. This particular figure shows him with an exposed rib cage, black eyes, scratches and unfortunately, more. It's hard to imagine what's caused Kenny's current condition -- then again, maybe it's not considering all the adventures he's had with his pals.
The South Park x Kidrobot 'Dead Kenny' will be available in select retailers and Kidrobot's online store.
