Bring On The Bad Guys: Thanos, Chucky, & Lord Voldemort

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.

Thanos Legacy #1

When your mission is to write a story about a mad god that doesn't pause or hesitate should he have to sacrifice anyone to achieve his goals, such a feat is rarely accomplished in one story arc. There's so much to do when you have so many to kill, and that's why rising star Donny Cates re-visits the Mad Titan to churn out a story that bridges the gap between his best-selling Thanos Wins and the world-shattering Infinity Wars. This month, check out Thanos Legacy #1 (JUL180975) from the Marvel PREVIEWS, and see how artist Brian Level gives life to Cates' mad vision for everyone's favorite megalomaniac!

Sonic Eggman Vinimate

Striking a pose from the Sonic the Hedgehog game, Sonic Eggman Vinimate (JUL182495) embodies Diamond Select Toys' distinctive block-figure style for its line of Sonic characters. If high-end collectibles are your thing, you came across a real winner with this Vinimate that stands approximately 4 inches tall, and features an articulated neck for further posing options. Got the need for speed? You better have plenty of it, as others are bound to be racing to the shop to pick up Sonic's nemesis before you can leave the house. Look for this collectible in the July issue of the PREVIEWS catalog!

The Killing Joke: The Joker Q-Fig Maxtoons Figure

Ever hear a symphony of voices tell you that you and you alone can touch God's sandals while punishing the unwashed for their transgressions against your intellect? Maybe this is what convinces you to put a toxin on the back of postage stamps so that everyone who mails a package during the week is poisoned to death, and dies with the same maniacal grin you wear every day? Every wonder how this psychosis makes you appear to everyone around you? If you want a visual, look no further than The Killing Joke: The Joker Q-Fig Maxtoons Figure (MAR188727) with the Clown Prince of Crime in his traditional purple suit surrounded by chattering teeth. Now you're looking in the mirror, bubba, so look further into the July PREVIEWS catalog and find it in the Toys/Statues/Models section!

Child's Play Chucky Body Knocker

It's said that children shouldn't play with dead things. The same rule applies to dolls that are possessed. Play time never turns out the way you expected. One minute you leave the kid alone with the toy, the next thing you know the kid along with the rest of the family has been wiped out, and police barriers surround the neighborhood. For that reason you should stay clear of the Child's Play Chucky Body Knocker (JUL182958), featured after the murderous icon which appears in multiple Child's Play movies and assorted private nightmares. Solar-powered, Chucky stands approximately 6 1/2" tall and rocks from side to side when exposed to light. No batteries needed! Look for him in the Collectibles & Novelties section of the July PREVIEWS catalog!

Harry Potter: Lord Voldemort 8-Inch Polystone Statue
A step above the normal villain police line-up would be an understatement for this sorceror of sin. He is the detestable maggot that should never have been born, and his name is cursed as it is filthy. He is here before you as the Harry Potter: Lord Voldemort 8-Inch Polystone Statue (JUL182611), and you will be unable to resist the urge to impale the heads of voodoo dolls in his effigy so long as he draws breath, and remains at large to destroy those who do not kneel, or serve him. Standing 8" tall, he is hand-painted, individually numbered, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. This is the Lord at his worst. His most noxious. His most conceited. Put this vile abomination out in the open for all to stare upon with hate. He is evil personified. And though you are told to not say his name, you must curse it with your last dying breath, and pray that this plague on two legs may be banished from our world forever. But first, look for him in the Toys/Statues/Models section of the July PREVIEWS catalog!

And once again we've done our job for the month, showing you our list of unforgivable irredeemables! Go out and pick up a copy of the July PREVIEWS, and let us know your favorite villains, and who YOU want to pit 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, fellow degenerates!
