The
Toxic Crusaders cartoon series, which ran in 1991, is coming to DVD as a complete series package of all 13 episodes. It will be released in the second half of 2004, according to
this post from Troma Films staff member Edward Havens at the Troma message boards.
If you can't wait that long, and need a taste, then you might consider getting the
Tox Box DVD box set. It's been available for a year-and-a-half, and it contains unrated director's cuts of the first 3 films that the cartoon was based on (and no, the films aren't meant for the kiddies!). But exclusive to the box set is a fourth disc:
Toxic Crusaders: The Movie. According to the above-linked thread at the Troma boards, "it says its the movie, but its really just the first four episodes cut together." So if you don't own any of the "Toxie" films yet and are interested, that's a great place to start, and get some
Toxic Crusaders episodes to keep you going until the big 'toon compilation comes out sometime in the next 3-9 months.
Apparently all of this information has been out there for months and months, but noone sent me a tip-off about this until Jamie Greer dropped me a note this past weekend. So we owe a big THANK YOU to Jamie! We will keep an eye on this, and let you know more when we do, so stay tuned.
