Bring On The Bad Guys: Poison Ivy, Venom, & Jason Vorhees

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.

Pirates Of The Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales Barbossa Vinimate Vinyl Figure

Arrrrggh! Why be you so untruthful? Do ye think you can lie well enough to the Pirates Of The Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales Barbossa Vinimate Vinyl Figure (FEB172609) that he won't be able to tell you're in league with Captain Jack Sparrow? Woe be to you and any other sea dog that dares cross Barbossa. Given that he's already dead, it's not like he has to worry about a knife in the back. Besides, as a Vinimate sculpted by Diamond Select Toys, he's a top shelf block style figure that's articulated at the neck and available for your posing options. He's waiting for you along with other Minimates in the Diamond Select Toys section of the February PREVIEWS!

Metals: DC Girls Poison Ivy Wave 1 4-Inch Die-Cast Figure

If ever there was a girl that gave you an itch that always needed to be scratched, it's the lovely lass with the green thumb. She's been around the block a few times. You've seen her in Gotham, and recently in her own mini-series. She's a regular thorn in your side if you're hanging around the DC Universe, and now Jada's METALS line is bringing you the Metals: DC Girls Poison Ivy Wave 1 4-Inch Die-Cast Figure (OCT169042) to remind you that of all Gotham Sirens that are on the streets, Poison Ivy is the one who's most likely to GROW on you. This 4-inch die-cast figure gives new definition to the term "heavy metal." Look for her in the Toys/Statues/Models section of the February PREVIEWS catalog!

Metals: Ghostbusters — Stay-Puft 6-Inch Die-Cast Figure

Oh, sure. He looks adorable. You just want to pick him up and give him a big squeeze! How could such an angelic face wish nothing but giggles and hot cocoa on you? But you'll find yourself crushed beneath the pews of your local church when the Metals: Ghostbusters — Stay-Puft 6-Inch Die-Cast Figure (OCT169010) comes rolling into your town! Didn't you see him pulling the Godzilla routine in the first Ghostbusters movie? Stompin' through New York like he was the King of Monsters? His problem was not only did he lack atomic breath, but he was messin' with New Yorkers. Pick him up in the Toys/Statues/Models section of the February PREVIEWS catalog, and give him another chance at stomping on those pesky guys with the hearse hot rod!

Metals: Spider-Man Venom 4-Inch Die-Cast Figure

A face only a mother could love! Someone needs to tell the Metals: Spider-Man Venom 4-Inch Die-Cast Figure (FEB172782) that he needs to brush those teeth if he wants to ask out a girl for a night on the town. It may be enough to breathe that rank breath on Spider-Man to install fear and forboding, but there's little else that you can do with that kind of dental work.  The tongue, however, is a great asset, though, if Gene Simmons from KISS needs a stand-in for the night. Regardless of whether you want to engage in a wagging tongue contest, or throw a roadblock in front of Spider-Man, this figure that weighs just over a half pound is an awesome gift for any fan of the Wallcrawler's rogues gallery. You'll find this sinister symbiote in the Toys Statues Models section of the February PREVIEWS!

Friday The 13th Jason Voorhees ARTFX Statue

It's the classic film slasher direct from Camp Crystal Lake! He's death behind a hockey mask, and comes for you wearing his bedraggled and ominously ill-fitting garments including black shoes, a black shirt, and blue trousers marred by a bloody wound above his right knee. Not exactly the guy you'll find on the cover of GQ. Don't look for his eyes, though. You won't find them on this statue. But you will find interchangeable parts that you can use to display your Jason with a preferred weapon for dispatching teenagers: either a machete or hatchet! Sculpted by Naoya Muto, the Friday The 13th Jason Voorhees ARTFX Statue (FEB172863) stands a hulking 11 inches tall (1/6 scale) on a detailed terrain display base. Look for him in the Kotobukiya section of the February PREVIEWS catalog!
