The Toxic Avenger Lives On: Umbrella Entertainment Unleashes The Tox Box in 4K

Tromaville’s most hideously deformed hero of superhuman size and strength is back bigger, badder, and in 4K. Umbrella Entertainment has announced The Tox Box, a massive ten-disc collector’s set celebrating The Toxic Avenger franchise from its 1984 cult classic roots to the 2023 reboot directed by Macon Blair. Arriving January 14, 2025, in Australia, this set is a radioactive treasure chest for die-hard Troma fans and collectors of cult cinema.


From Mop to Myth: A Full Franchise in One Box

For over 40 years, The Toxic Avenger has splattered its way through pop culture with grotesque gags, outrageous humor, and eco-friendly mayhem. The Tox Box gathers every chapter of Toxie’s journey, including:

  • The Toxic Avenger (1984)

  • The Toxic Avenger Part II (1989)

  • The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie (1989)

  • Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger Part IV (2000)

  • The Toxic Avenger (2023)


Each film comes loaded with extras, from vintage Lloyd Kaufman commentary tracks to fresh behind-the-scenes features from the new reboot. Whether you grew up on the VHS tapes or discovered Toxie through late-night screenings, this set makes sure every mutation of the franchise is represented.


Collector’s Edition Mayhem

Umbrella’s Collector’s Edition is designed to ooze cult energy right off your shelf. Packaged in a rigid case featuring exclusive artwork, The Tox Box includes:

  • A 48-page book with behind-the-scenes material and new essays by Jack Sargeant and David Michael Brown

  • Eight collectible art cards

  • Three reversible A3 posters

  • Limited numbered release packaging


And that’s just the physical goodies. Each disc is overflowing with commentaries, interviews, rare featurettes, and decades of Troma’s signature DIY insanity. Fans will even find new content from Macon Blair’s 2023 reboot, including cast introductions, Comic-Con panels, and an extended behind-the-scenes look at how Kevin Bacon, Peter Dinklage, Elijah Wood, and Jacob Tremblay brought fresh blood to Troma’s most iconic creation.




Why It Matters for Cult Cinema

For fans of underground horror and offbeat superhero stories, The Toxic Avenger is more than just a B-movie franchise it’s a movement. Lloyd Kaufman’s radioactive baby helped define Troma as the kings of independent cinema, inspiring generations of filmmakers to embrace practical effects, punk-rock attitude, and stories that gleefully break the rules. The 2023 revival proved Toxie still matters, introducing him to a whole new audience while honoring the outrageous spirit of the original.


Now, with The Tox Box, Umbrella Entertainment is giving fans the ultimate way to celebrate the franchise’s wild legacy. From Tromaville to Hollywood and beyond, Toxie’s mop continues to swing.


The Tox Box: Complete Toxic Avenger (1984–2025) will be available January 14, 2025, exclusively from the Umbrella Entertainment webstore. Grab it before it mutates into a rarity! 👉 Order here
