Bring On The Bad Guys: Alien Queen, Chucky, & The Joker

Egads! Another molotov cocktail that's served as a kids drink. Say it isn't so! Say we don't have to suffer the bad guys again! Yes, sad for all of those within hearing range... you will submit!  Your lethal injection of mean is back with this month’s rendition of “Bring on the Bad Guys,” and once again we show that we don’t discriminate because of race, sex, color, or creed. If you’re rotten, you qualify. And there are many ways to qualify. It might be that you enjoy kicking cats. It might be that you eat people. Or...maybe it’s because you’re one of Satan’s soldiers. In any event, we flip through the PREVIEWS catalog each month to see who needs to be called out as a deviant, and then we explain why these people … or things … or whatever they are … shouldn’t be helped if you see them bleeding in the middle of the street.

Let us begin.

POP! Aliens: Alien Queen 6-Inch Vinyl Figure

Not a good idea to argue with the Queen. She'll chew your face off, man! Plus, lay eggs in your belly. Not a pretty sight. So you might want to show some respect for this PREVIEWS Exclusive POP! vinyl figure from Funko that commemorates James Cameron's sci-fi action film, Aliens! A classic creature design from the famous H.R. Giger, the Alien Queen is doing a dance as it's the 30th-anniversary of the scare classic this summer. Sculpted in Funko's trademark 6" style, this plastic powerful predator is both cute and chilling (depending on your tastes)! Check out the POP! Aliens: Alien Queen 6-Inch Vinyl Figure (JUL162833) on page 569 of the July PREVIEWS!

Child's Play: Chucky Mask

Pins and needles prick the skin of little dolls all the time when voodoo masters around the world wreak revenge on those they despise. Such torture is impossible, however, should the doll be one who goes by the name of "Chucky." He's the poster child for toys gone tyrant, and who doesn't know that it's just best to not play with this maniacal monster. So imagine how much fun you'll have wearing the face of this psycho with the Child's Play: Chucky Mask (MAR168513) that secures to your face with a retro-style elastic band! Packaged in a classic-style two-piece window box, this mask can be found in the Toys/Statue/Models section of the July PREVIEWS catalog!

Living Dead Dolls: Hellraiser III — Pinhead Doll

He'll tear your soul apart!!! 'Cause that passes for fun any given day of the week when you're the High Priest of Hell. Hey, some people like to golf, he torments the damned, it's all relative, right? Truth is, Pinhead is now the the latest addition to world of the Living Dead Dolls, and his hooks, picks, and blades dangle from his holy robes just like in the Hellraiser movies. So, yeah, if you pick up the Living Dead Dolls: Hellraiser III — Pinhead Doll (MAR168514) from the July PREVIEWS, this 10" tall testatment to eternal torture will be waiting to convince you how exquisite suffering is actually good for the soul. Pay no attention to the ungreatful guests hanging from chains telling you to turn and run. They're just jealous that you're moving to the front of the line.

Legends of Cthulhu Action Figures

Are you one of those collectors that bolts for those independent dealers at the comic cons? You know what we're saying. Those tables that show a million and one different toys for sale that can't be found anywhere at the local stores. Those retro collectibles that harken back to the stuff you saw advertised in comic books in the 70s and early 80s. Back when Kenner dolls were the bomb. Well, if you check out the Legends of Cthulhu Action Figures (MAR148418) you'll teleport back to those old days, because these figures are true to the time period with appropriate articulation, awesome accessories, and deco consistent of the era. Check out the Cultist, Spawn of Cthulhu, the Professor, and the Deep One on page 582 of the July PREVIEWS!

POP! Hero: The Dark Knight Returns — The Joker Figure

He's come in many shapes over the decades, and has gone from sporting a mustache on TV to blowing up hospitals on the big screen. But one of the most infamous incarnations of the Clown Prince of Crime is when he appeared in Frank Miller's classic The Dark Knight Returns. A sad, sad man who had nothing to live for was once again transformed back into a raging psychopath once he learned that the Batman was back in town. Now he's available for your toy collection as the POP! Hero: The Dark Knight Returns The Joker Figure (JUL162706) in the July PREVIEWS catalog, and he stands knife in hand as a 3 1/2" tall figure with limited articulation. You can find this PREVIEWS Exclusive collectible on page 560 of the July catalog, hanging out with all the other characters based on the classic Frank Miller series.

So, once again we've done our job for the month, showing you who we think is best carrying the torch of terror. Go out and pick up a copy of the July PREVIEWS, and let us know who YOU want to put against each other in a fight to the death. Hit us up on Facebook or Twitter, and let us know about your favorite bad guys.

See you next time, fiends!
