Hello fellow toy enthusiasts! Today, let’s take a dive into the dark, gooey waters of Tromaville as we talk about a character who’s as nefarious as they come – Dr. Killemoff from the Toxic Crusaders series, which has recently been brought to life (or should I say back to the shelves?) by Trick or Treat Studios. This 5-inch action figure has been stirring up quite the excitement and, trust me, it’s well-deserved!
The detail on this figure is something to write home about. With design cues taken straight from the eco-unfriendly villain of the classic cartoon series, Trick or Treat Studios has not skimped on authenticity. Dr. Killemoff, known for his four-armed radioactive menace, comes decked out in his iconic anti-environmentalist attire that any collector of the series would appreciate. The articulation points allow you to pose him in various scheming stances, perfect for plotting the next big toxic spill.
Nod to the classic
The figure’s packaging is also a nod to the classic, vibrant 90s aesthetic, making it not just a toy but a piece of memorabilia. This is a real treat for those of us who remember the original Toxic Crusaders action figures by Playmates. Speaking of which, this new line of figures has me itching to scoop up every piece from the Toxic Crusaders series, both old and new. It would be a dream come true to showcase the entire gang – from Toxie to Nozone – in my growing collection.
Comparatively, while the Playmates figures have their charm and nostalgic value, the new figures from Trick or Treat Studios bring a fresh yet faithful take that complements any existing collection. The Dr. Killemoff figure, for example, feels like it could plot right next to my Super7 Ultimates Toxie without missing a beat.
