Bring On The Bad Guys: Chucky, Joker, & Wormwood
Oct 03, 2017
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.

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.

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!
