Bring On The Bad Guys: Chucky, Joker, & Wormwood

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.

Wormwood Gentleman Corpse Christmas Special

Want to know how you can tell that you've been a bad boy or girl, and Santa's most likely to leave you a bottle of Ebola cola in your Christmas stocking this year? It will start with you asking for this nightmare vision of a Christmas future, in which you'll see at the expense of insanity thanks to writer/artist Ben Templesmith. See, he's about to unleash the Wormwood Gentleman Corpse Christmas Special (OCT170527) to good little comic fans everywhere, and this will ensure a story whereby the Arctic will slowly melt, automation will increase, and labor costs will go through the roof. And Wormwood's the only solution to it all, which means...you lose! Have a lousy Christmas, fanboys and fangirls with this naughty graphic novel from Dark Horse Comics that you'll find in the Premier Comics section of the October PREVIEWS catalog!

Doctor Who: Cybermen Evolution PREVIEWS Exclusive T-Shirt

Life is so much easier when you're from a race of cybernetically augmented humanoids. Whether you have an unwavering instinct to survive, hunger for immortality, or possess an undeniable intent to upgrade yourself, when you're one of the Cybermen, there's no need to apologize. You just mentally re-engineer humans whether they like it or not. To show how you're not afraid of 20th century guns, don this Doctor Who: Cybermen Evolution PREVIEWS Exclusive T-Shirt (OCT172140) and start vying to become the new Cyber-Leader. You'll find this shirt in the Apparel section of the October PREVIEWS catalog!

DC Arkham Asylum VG Joker Vinimate

Everyone loves a greatest hits package. Some songs never grow old. The same could be said for villains. There are some bad guys you never get tired of seeing as they're tearing through unsuspecting crowds and unprepared heroes. If ever there was an example to be made of a timeless costumed terror, you could easily illustrate your pick by showing off the DC Arkham Asylum VG Joker Vinimate (OCT172366). This 4-inch collectible rips the Clown Prince of Crime right from the screen of the popular Arkham Asylum video game series. A face only a mother could love. A mind that only cyanide can kill. Look for him in the Diamond Select Toys section of the October PREVIEWS catalog!

Child's Play Ultimate Chucky 7-Inch Action Figure

Parents can tell you that all children go through phases as they grow up. There are the Terrible Two's, the Troublesome Threes, the Fearsome Four's, the Frantic Five's, and so on. What helps keep the little monsters at bay as they're crying over wet diapers and spilled drinks? Their favorite toys. You can always count on those toys to help you keep the peace...until that toy picks up a butcher knife and slices off your fingers. If that happens, odds are you picked up the Child's Play Ultimate Chuky 7-Inch Action Figure (JUN178663) that comes with baseball bat, hammer, voodoo knife, hunting knife, butcher knife, straight razor, yardstick, pistol, interchangeable right forearm with blade, and interchangeable hands. Yeah. Good luck with this toy, Mom and Dad. Birthday parties are cancelled indefinitely. Look for Chucky in the PREVIEWS catalog Toys section!

DC Comics Reverse Flash HMF-048 Action Figure

Cause and effect is a universal conundrum for DC Comics' Scarlet Speedster, The Flash. As hard as he pushes into the past or the future to make a wrong into a right, there's always someone dogging his heels to stop any progress. This instrument of chaos is likewise a costumed speedster, but his intentions are not noble. He's quite devious, in fact. And he has no qualms about putting a knife in your heart. His real name is Eobard Thawne, but you can call him the DC Comics Reverse Flash HMF-048 Action Figure (JUL178116) as he believes it commands respect. With 20 points of articulation, 3 pairs of replaceable hands, and a head which houses LED lighting components allowing for his eyes to light up, that respect shouldn't be misplaced. Look for him in the Toys/Statues/Models section of the October PREVIEWS catalog!
