South Park Figures at Best Buy

by

I just got a message from Mezco about their exclusive with electronics giant Best Buy for two exclusive South Park figures. I’m a big fan of their South Park line, somehow they are manage to capture the unique two dimensional look in a three dimensional toy. The figures are Motorcycle Cop Cartman and Frozen Kenny:

There isn’t any mention why they are going to have exclusive figures at Best Buy, which is a little strange since Best Buy usually only carries toys when they are part of a DVD or video game package. Since I’m a horrible reporter, I forgot to ask if they were a tie-in to anything. Yeah, I know I suck.

However, I did ask what Mezco’s plans were for this year’s San Diego Comic Con because I loved last year’s Butters as Professor Chaos figure. Mezco was mum on the subject. The only thing they could confirm was that there were exclusives, but not what they were or how many. Dang it! Foiled again!

The full press release follows the break if you really feel like reading it.

NY- Mezco Toyz, renowned creators of action figures and collectibles, have teamed up with Best Buy stores, North America’s number-one specialty retailer of consumer electronics, to offer two iconic figures from the award winning South Park series. The first figure is “Motorcycle Cop Cartmanâ€? dressed as a policeman from the fan favorite episode where he takes over for Officer Barbrady and enforces the respect his “Authorityâ€? upon all of South Park.

The second figure is “Frozen Kenny� from the controversial episode where he meets one of his most unique demises. In a desperate bid to save the town’s hospital, Kenny finds himself electrocuted and frozen to an outdoor generator.

These hilarious, fan favorite figures are available exclusively at Best Buy stores as well as on www.BestBuy.com and will be appearing in stores and online soon.
