The Absurd Toxic Crusaders 90s Cartoon Is Getting A Collector's Edition Blu-Ray
Cult-classic animated series Toxic Crusaders is headed to Blu-ray next month, and preorders are now open for it.
Back in the '90s, nothing was better than watching Saturday morning cartoons, and if you're looking to recapture that nostalgic feeling, one of the more absurd shows of that era is headed to home media. Toxic Crusaders: The Series Collector's Edition has been digitally restored and remastered on Blu-ray, and while each episode was a typical 21-minute advert to buy action figures based on the exploits of Toxie, it's still a surprisingly entertaining and weird show in its own right. Priced at $24.75 (was $35), it'll be released on December 10.

In addition to a sharp remaster of the cartoon series, this Blu-ray also includes some extra content alongside the original 13-episode run. There's a new introduction by Lloyd Kaufman--the director of the Toxic Avenger movie--the original Toxic Crusaders toy commercials and TV spots, archival footage thought to be lost to time, and bonus cartoons. There's even a documentary about the making of the Toxic Crusaders video game from Retroware, so this is a comprehensive Blu-ray.
If you never watched it, Toxic Crusaders was an adaptation of the horror-comedy film The Toxic Avenger, only with the violence toned down for younger audiences. The show starred Toxie, a former janitor who was horribly bullied until one day, he's exposed to toxic waste that mutates him into a super-powered creature. He then joins with several other misfit mutants to battle evildoers.
For a few more cartoon series, there are quite a few collections currently available based on ‘80s and ‘90s shows. The complete run of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was recently released on DVD, and this is on sale for $26.60 (was $34). Super Friends: The Complete Collection brings together the Justice League to save the day from the Legion of Doom, and this massive treasure trove of episodes has been discounted to $70 (was $100).
