Toxic Crusaders

[Foot Soldier Clang]

Yeah. Like other awesomely violent 1980's movies, the Toxic Avenger was refurnished for kids to watch in cartoon form. Like Robocop and Rambo, Toxie was given a rag tag team of heroes to fight evil with .

Yeah, my wife was on youtube the other night watching the opening credits for cartoons based on R rated films. She thought it was funny that the 80's-90's had so many.

There had to be a bunch of hip young producers trying to change the status quo . Tired of kids having to watch stuff like Care Bears and Get Along Gang, they got the bright idea to get the licenses from movies they all happen to like. That's my theory at least

I actually loved the Toxic Crusaders. I had seen the first couple of Toxic Avenger movies and I was so confused and excited to see the cartoon.

I still have a couple of the figures, namely Toxie, Bonehead and Headbanger. Headbanger was easily my favourite.

A small part of me would like to see these figures come back with more articulation

I've not seen more than one episode of the Toxic Crusaders cartoon, though I have seen and loved all of the Toxic Avenger films.

BUMP

I was right into the Toxic Crusaders-awesome show!!!
Even as a 10 year old at the time I really loved the biting sarcasm of not only this show but Samuari Pizza Cats as well, and coming off the back of the even then frankly **** "secret of the ooze" movie I dont really think that the TMNT where on my radar when
When I saw "the toxic avenger part 3-the last temptation of toxie" at the local video store my mum hired it for me, bless her.

So of course I became a Troma fiend

Anyway, I picked up the complete series on Troma DVD very cheap and its a really good cartoon.

I would like to see them meet the TMNT.

I used to watch this show, too, when I was younger (as well as the Toxic Avenger films). I even collected the comic book, though none of the toys. I remember this being a short-lived cartoon hit, along with Defenders of Dynatron City -- which I also liked.

I remember the BBC showed this on a Saturday morning (fairly sure it was on "Paralel 9"). I bought into the hype at the time and got the first issue of a short-lived comic once it came on.
