[Toy Fair ’17] Super 7 Brings Toxic Avenger into the ReAction Figures Line
As a kid, I loved “Toxic Crusaders.” I fondly remember playing with the toys, which were colorful, wacky, and fit right in with my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys. Imagine my surprise when I realized, years later, that the kid-friendly animated series was a spinoff of Troma’s gory superhero movie The Toxic Avenger – at one point I loved both, having no idea of their connection!
I’m still not sure how a Troma movie became an animated series, but it happened.
In any event, I bring this up because toy company Super 7, who recently got back their ReAction Figures line from Funko, just unveiled two upcoming Toxic Avenger ReAction Figures at New York’s Toy Fair. The retro-style figures both depict lovable hero Toxie, and what’s cool here is that Super 7 made two different versions: one based on the film, and one based on the cartoon.
Movie Toxie is green and drab, while cartoon Toxie is bright and colorful.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
