A not-so-pretty hero who loves his country! Inspired by the vintage mail-away figure, this 7” Toxic Crusaders ULTIMATES! Toxie rocks patriotic threads, complete with a mop and flag, a bandoleer with toxic waste grenades, and even a Blobbie mini figure. With top-notch sculpt and premium paint, this made-to-order figure is anything but trashy – a must-have for your collection!
Let’s dive into the OG Toxic Crusaders action figures – Toxie, No-Zone, Major Disaster, Headbanger, and Junkyard. Standing at 5 inches, these durable plastic figures boasted articulation galore, capturing the show’s unique details.
- Toxie: was the main protagonist of the Toxic Crusaders, a mutated superhero with superhuman strength, agility, and healing abilities. He was dressed in a green and yellow costume with a mask and gloves. His most recognizable feature was his large, green nose, which was a result of the toxic waste that transformed him.
- No-Zone: was Toxie’s sidekick and a radioactive creature with the ability to phase through solid objects. He was dressed in a black and white costume with a hood and mask. His most notable feature was his glowing green eyes.
- Major Disaster:was a former military soldier who gained the ability to control plants after being exposed to toxic waste. He was dressed in a green and brown costume with a helmet and mask. His most distinguishing feature was his large, leafy limbs.
- Headbanger: The design of Headbanger’s two-headed form is likely a reference to the two sides of his personality: his rebellious nature and his desire to be accepted. The two heads could also symbolize the duality of good and evil, or the conflict between Headbanger’s human and mutant sides.
- Junkyard: The Toxic Crusaders action figure of Junkyard features a long, rubbery tongue that protrudes from his mouth. This tongue is a reference to his canine origins and his playful nature.
Each figure oozed personality, with details mirroring their on-screen counterparts.
