Troma is celebrating its 50th anniversary by bringing all four Toxic Avenger movies to 4K in a new collection!
Troma Entertainment, the beloved independent film distributor and production house, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year – and as part of the celebration, they’re bringing their iconic Toxic Avenger franchise to 4K in an eight disc “Tox Box” collection! Also known as the “Tox Set”, the collection is available for pre-order on Amazon (get it HERE) and has a release date of August 29th.
For this collection, all four films in the Toxic Avenger franchise have been given new 4K scans and restorations from the original camera negatives. They’re presented in the original 1.85:1 aspect ratio in HDR with English DTS 2.0 stereo audio. Lloyd Kaufman, the President of Troma Entertainment and creator of The Toxic Avenger, has recorded new introductions for each movie. And the set also comes with a collectible Toxic Avenger postcard.
