Hey guys - my comments sections are getting hit hard with scammers who are pretending to be me and asking people to reach out to them to claim a prize. THIS IS NOT ME. I would not ask any of you to text or message me. Please report these comments if you see them. I am sorry if any of you got caught up in the scams. Please be safe out there!

[@goldenage]

Yes! More creator interviews with classic toy makers please! A great way to preserve toy history while getting a deeper look into the process. Its like having a DVD commentary for toys!!

[@toddklein77]

Seconded! And with the passing of a whole generation of them bearing down on us (forever in our hearts Mr. Taylor 😔), it’d be none too soon.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Dude! This is amazing thanks for doing this video with eddy, I never thought I'd see Polluto walk :-D all the extra features and then to top it off! they're bringing him back 😲

[@GIDOJO]

Haha the minute I saw the thumbnail I was like “ED IS GONNA FREAK OUT!!”

[@tompollockjr144]

Those first run 2012 TMNT figures are some of the best turtle figures ever made in my opinion. This guy is a toy legend!

[@GeekCreek]

I'd never even heard of Polluto before today, but this video was such a treat! Eddy Mosqueda is a gift. Thank you for sharing this; I sure didn't see the ending coming!

[@BobTheAwesomeBob]

Same

[@MrWolf12000]

Im ecstatic with the Toxic Crusaders love this year! Crazy underrated toyline

[@tinman_customs8258]

That's SO cool to see - but how terrified are you to have that figure in hand and NOT break it!? I presume you had to ship the thing back to the designer once you photographed it? Excellent work, as always, Dan!

[@WaffleAfterHours]

I've often wondered what would have happened to a ton of my favourite toylines if they had continued. I know about Trash Bag Bunch and Bucky O' Hare's second wave, but I also wonder about Z-Bots, Primal Rage, Dino-Riders, etc.

[@CaptainStarlight]

I thought I was the only one who remembered Z-Bots! 😱 I was hugely into them and the Trash Bags when I was a young'un. 😁

[@ciscodeer9094]

Polluto looks like Godzilla if Godzilla dug around the Japanese toxic waste dump for years, I like it awesome interview Dan

[@lipranditoys]

Congratulations, this is a proper Toy-splosion episode.

[@F13fan]

That’s awesome! I saw where someone actually made some Pollutos to sell and watched Ed from Retro Geek Out show his and review it. But an actual official one is fantastic news!

[@teeveeparty]

Thank god he took all that stuff when he left the studio!! Thanks for sharing this! I'm not looking forward to seeing how much Super7's version will cost!

[@WerewolfLydia]

This was awsome, thanks so much Dan for the interview and all the cool info! Suggestion: maybe a part 2 of this could be about the vintage Toxic Crusaders figurines in general? Would be cool to see the whole collection with background infos and such.

[@Ultrazilla]

Fantastic episode, Dan!!! Loved it! So much great info and footage of Polluto! As a kaiju collector and reviewer, I definitely need this Trashzilla in the worst way!!! So awesome!

[@dontapinkney3994]

The cartoon and toy line was AWESOME back in the early 90’s, in my opinion! I pre-ordered the ULTIMATES for 2023.

[@christopherdeleon2095]

And here I was taking screenshots to sculpt my own. This is really exciting news.

[@Caleb.Collects98]

Best episode of Toy Splosion! I didn't know a thing about Toxic Crusaders but this video gave me some information and a look at an UNPRODUCED toy....UN...PRODUCED....TOY....crazy.

[@tomylot8138]

Wow. The footage was like an original vlog. LOL. Back then they were just to catch moments to remember. This was done to show something everyone would've known if it was released. A vlog.

[@BlackStrife3D]

This was great. Excellent interview!!!

[@skabcat242]

This was great to see how these figures get made.

[@GratefulPrimate]

OMG I love Dan's unapologetic love of toys. I thought he was gonna cry while announcing the new Polluto release.

[@katmaresparkles9578]

The toxic crusaders looks like it would go well with the garbage pail kids.

[@chinovo]

Now it doesn't hurt as bad about passing on the Hiss Tank, things happen for a reason. Going to save money for this bad boy here !!

[@AkilWari]

Amazing, what a pleasant surprise! Well done Dan!

[@dazatron1664]

Great video! Love to see things I’ve never seen before. What a privilege to to this toy in action 👏

[@steelcurtain187]

This was an awesome interview as this was one of my favorite toy lines in the 90s. Very underrated. I have the first wave of super 7 figures pre ordered and can’t wait to see more!

[@drawingbyhand]

This was exciting eddy done a great sculpt on polluto. and pre order wow cant wait. love toy history . this is so awesome.

[@Youcannotfalter]

Wow, this is amazing! Thanks for the video.

[@HenshinHaro]

Since Super7 is doing Toxic Crusader Ultimates, I was going to comment that it’d be cool if they did something with this guy, but the announcement that that the original is getting produced is amazing news. Hope I’ll be able to get in on that.

[@Randomark3087]

Never knew there was a toy of Polluto! That's so cool!

[@mtrader82]

I do remember this figure being shown off but wow it's been a long time! Great video Dan and your a gift to the toy collecting community!

[@theobscuratoyfiles1142]

Wait- WHAT?!?! DUDE. I am 100% behind getting a Pulluto toy, that's insane. I hope it comes with some of those "Little Buddies", so so insane. But THIS is what we need more of in 2022: more revisiting unproduced toys and giving them a 2nd chance at life.

[@drewcee_]

This is why WE WATCH DAN!!🔥🔥💪🏽💪🏽🎯

[@SamsUTubes]

This video is amazing! Great work!

[@bryanwagner5228]

they have the technology , and I'm an adult with money. they need to produce all of these awesome figures that were unproduced.

[@arroncronce8221]

I love Troma and The Toxic Crusaders I would of definitely liked having this in my collection back in the day keep up the great videos Pixel Dan 👊🤟

[@MrJasonbusch]

This is going to be an awesome episode

[@albo9246]

Just amazing! I always wondered, as a Troma fan, what IF all the other Troma characters had become Playmates figures!?! Bwahahaha!

[@pegasuslb]

OMG this is amazing! Can't wait to hear more about the new toys. Will definitely be getting one!

[@dzkmeister]

Ok, now we're cookin' with gas! Incredible stuff.

[@Mine528]

That popping noise is my childhood.

[@ryanthecollectorkid]

Dude such an awesome episode and as a collector of toxic crusaders, you answered the question that was on my mind, are they going to be producing paluto and the answer is yes 😬I cannot you get my hands on one of these and show it on my channel, Thankyou for all the awesome info interviews and Ovcourse getting to show us a myth of a figure great work Dan 😎👍🏻

[@Robogeek28]

I'm hoping that Super7 will release some of the Toxic Crusaders figures that never got released like Polluto here and my favorite, Snailman.

[@jamievaughn1485]

I really love anything Varner has done. Can't wait to see the new one!!!

[@oldgrimrascal]

dang Id like to see that polluto re-sculpted for today and get my hands on one so looking forward to the follow up video to this

[@toylips]

this is awesome. thanks, Dan.

[@Stygian360]

I remember this gentleman from the TMNT episode of TTTMU

[@kuitaranheatmorus9932]

Very cool topic,because it's also one of my favorites and this video was just so good

[@ThatKiwiDudeTV]

Uncle Lloydie deserves the attention his IP is getting right now.

[@danleonard3110]

This is exactly what I wanna see Thanks Dan!!

[@domg4538]

Pixel Dan goes right to the source; breaking out that MOTU Book cash to get the exclusive!

[@Seiferboi]

The figures I have from this line are Toxie and Nozone. I have Muckman, but it turns out he's from TMNT, not Toxic Crusaders. Though, he fits right into the Toxic Crusaders toys!

[@ryleyloser]

I’ve waited my entire life for Polluto to get released! Hope we eventually get the unreleased second wave figures as well 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@UnicronHound]

The unproduced toys I'd LOVE to get my hands on are the Unicron Prototypes from G1 and BW Neo

[@spitt0110]

its hilarious that the custom community has made one not that long ago. its how i originally learned about it.

[@unorthdoxcleric6953]

Can't wait to order Polluto

[@keepitrealandtoasty]

Great stuff Dan!

[@toytripperv8488]

What about the resin reproduction made by Teknodromen toys? I guess that is fine but it had a very limited run.

[@joshuastarcher4272]

DUDE IM DEFINITELY GETTING ONE LETS GOOOO

[@treyjohnson4035]

I was finally able to find the name.of those K mart specials that were sort of a Thundercats knock off. INVISIBLE WARRIORS. I had the Super Ninja,the lion headed one,ebay has none complete

[@paulparker1360]

Well, that was bloody awesome. Sadly I'm sure the actual toy will be a couple of hundred dollars. But it will be fun to see

[@treyjohnson4035]

Similar to the Motu line of Greyskull dinos,Dino, dark purple T Rex had and opening back,a side gun and wind up Drone that was stored in a panel in the belly

[@toykitch5025]

Very interesting,thank's for this vidéo!

[@WaffleAfterHours]

I wonder how many more legendary figures are out there.

[@eltenda]

That's pretty dope!

[@ia5662]

very cool history there, I follow that instagram page and he shows off so many cool Varner creations

[@jondoe4624]

Now I want a toy that I never even knew existed. I wonder how much it would cost make a silicone mold and pump out a few resin sculpts. I don't think demand would be great enough for injection molds to be made Edit: I should have waited to the end of the video, LOL. I am so in on this

[@alexbowen3854]

what about the Barnyard commandos trojan pig prototype

[@selfhelphero6897]

This video has caught me completely off guard I’ve never been so excited, yet so fearful for my wallet 😅, bring on any and all Toxic Crusaders stuff! (Are you shooting these for another book? 🤞)

[@anthony_arcade6269]

Can’t wait!

[@samuelherriotiii2114]

I must own Polluto in the (unofficial) version or the new official taller version.

[@torpedoboy4]

Incredible!

[@GregorySesma]

Very cool.

[@teddickman9976]

How was your match this past Saturday night in Illinois.. did u win???

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Very cool!

[@feridradoncic2237]

Love toxic avengers

[@michaelpalmer5351]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[@edwardjohnson6744]

For me it was N2 toy's V8 INTERCEPTOR

[@ScumOfTheEarthRollerDerby]

Had a Gecko shirt just like that

[@badmrfrosty09]

Now the question is how much will one cost and will we stand a chance against scalpers

[@RickCreating]

Can’t wait

[@storylinestudios6258]

Hellyeah great news!!!!

[@kyleholder3785]

he's gotta send the prototype to Super7 so they can make it

[@yenrab2281]

Does this mean they'll be a Toxie section to your TMNT book?

[@markheadley125]

Awesome toys 😎 👍

[@Charbelo]

I am in! I want this!!

[@astrompowers3455]

Tyrantisaurus Rex's son and Reptar's father!!!

[@tony56321]

Pixel Dan, I wsnt polluto

[@joshuastarcher4272]

This is great. The guy from Varner Studio said they are gonna be releasing the old playmates toy and if they sale good they will come out with the unreleased toys. Hope it happens. I got all the super 7 ones pre-ordered also. This is a classic.

[@edwardmosqueda8276]

This is Eddy Mosqueda, Varner Sudios can't produce this original version of Poluto! "ISH" the company that is selling my original version has been given the only rights to do that!

[@joshuastarcher4272]

@@edwardmosqueda8276 I'm not talking about Polluto and by the way I pre-ordered one. I'm talking about the old playmates version of Toxie and gang not Polluto

[@janetballz5641]

Had fun watching this and I'm not even into toys

[@pimpdaddysatan]

If it's cool and affordable I might get one, just for the hell of it.. let him raid my multiverse.. 👍
