Bring On The Bad Guys: Venom, Cobra Commander, & The Batman Who Laughs

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 Comics Gallery Batman Who Laughs Diorama

From the pages of Dark Nights: Metal comes one of the most sinister looking villains we've seen in the DC Universe. The visage of evil hiding behind a smile is embodied by the DC Comics Gallery Batman Who Laughs Diorama (MAY182304), which is a fully Jokerized 9" tall Batman. This is what makes the cancer on two legs so menacing. A timeless icon like the Batman stands for truth. Law towards injustice. A man who dedicates his life towards confronting evil on its own terms. Now that figure of swift justice has been bastardized, twisted, corrupted, and made into a plague with teeth in the form of this detailed plastic sculpt that comes in a full-color box window packaging. Truly terrible to behold. You'll love it. Look for him in the Diamond Select Toys section of the May PREVIEWS catalog!

Marvel Comic Gallery Venom PVC Diorama

Eddie Brock hates Peter Parker. He wants to see his head crushed in a vice. His body mangled in a trash compactor. His circle of friends set on fire. Nothing but love in reverse is too good for Peter Parker. It is this hate that is a tasty psychic treat to the black symbiote that now consumes Eddie Brock's physical being. Darkness within darkness yields a power that only direct sunlight from a supernova could counter. It is this hate that you see forming in front of your eys when you gaze upon the Marvel Comic Galelry Venom PVC Diorama (MAY182304). This 9-inch tall high-grade plastic figure that comes packaged in a full-color window box is a picture-perfect reference for what rage looks like when it transforms from man into beast. Pretty soon, he's going to be on the big screen, too, so pick up this Venom diorama before the film breaks out, and everyone wants Eddie Brock for themselves to take care of their annoying neighbors. You'll find this diorama in the Diamond Select Toys section of the May PREVIEWS catalog!

G.I. Joe Destro 4.5-Inch Vinyl Figure

There's never a day that goes by that Laird James McCullen Destro XXIV (better known as Destro) doesn't wish he could make a state-of-the-art weapon that would allow him bypass the machinations of Cobra, and let him be the man in charge on permanent vacation. Oh, you didn't know this about ol' metal head did you? His dreams? He and the Baroness at the helm, left to enjoy his real estate holdings in developing areas of the world.

Clockwork Orange Alex 100% & 400% BEA 2-Pack

Every anarchist in waiting thinks his brand of revolution is the right one. His or her sense of style just needs to be appreciated for its genius. It's all in the marketing, really. Which is why one look at the Clockwork Orange Alex 100% & 400% Bea 2-Pack (FEB188465) will convince you that director Stanley Kubrick was well beyond his time. This Be@brick set shows how a re-interpretation of Alex DeLarge can be just as poignant as the original performance from actor Malcolm McDowell. These poseable be@rbricks can be found in the Import Toys/Statues/Models section of the May PREVIEWS catalog!
