Toxic Crusaders Ultimates Junkyard Unboxing and Review from Super7

[@joeesoko]

After all these years it finally clicks to why Junkyard's tail is so mangled. That flea has been living in his belt and dining on his tail with a fork and knife! That's great story telling through accessories! Awesome review!

[@ursupremetoys6230]

Excellent! This is exactly why the concept and sculpting team at Varner Studios had the best figures.

[@joeesoko]

They truly did! I really enjoyed all 3 of your "Ultimates!" Toxic Crusaders reviews! Got yourself a new subscriber.

[@ursupremetoys6230]

@@joeesoko Thanks! Hopefully we get more Toxic Crusaders soon! So many characters and unreleased figures that I would like to see.

[@2D_Memory]

Great review man, can't wait for mine to show up :)

[@ursupremetoys6230]

Thanks! I don't think you'll be disappointed.

By amalgamating the animated aesthetic with that of the original toy rather than just taking cues from the vintage figure, they've lost some of the grossness that I was hoping would be the focus of these ultimates. Playmates sculpts give me pure nostalgia feels like nothing else and the closer that S7 stays to them the better. Not painting the main weapon is a massive misstep though, but I'm still looking forward to my preorder arriving. I'm hoping for a Nozone and Headbanger next.

[@ursupremetoys6230]

Agreed! That classic gross factor was what appealed to me as a kid, and it's missing from these releases. Psycho is one that would suffer greatly from this softened style. He surely won't be blubbery or slimy looking.

The way you feel about these is how I feel about real Ghostbusters and earthworm jim figures

[@ursupremetoys6230]

Both great toylines. I had a bunch of Ghostbusters as a kid, and watched the toon religiously. Are you getting the new Earthworm Jim figures from Premium DNA?

My vintage Junkyard has the green speckle paint on him. I wonder if there were two versions.

[@ursupremetoys6230]

Well, it was the early 90s. Consistency wasn't always a priority when producing toys. It's interesting that both my loose and carded samples don't have the speckles. But a quick image search seems to show him with and without them! Cool to know.

[@donavanmitchell5224]

There were two paint variations.

[@Mrknifeskill]

@@ursupremetoys6230 all the original figures had bright paint speckled on randomly. Mostly green and purple, but some got almost none so it's easily missed. On my vintage Junkyard its green spots on the feet.

The SDCC gi joe destro (red jackal) and baroness (rednok) didn’t come with the shipper box I was pissed 😤

[@ursupremetoys6230]

LoL I imagine a few people are upset with that decision. I'm still waiting on mine. Super7 finally sent me a shipping notification over a week later.

[@lossiiburns]

@@ursupremetoys6230 smh I’m not to far from the super 7 store they have in San Francisco ca

[@ursupremetoys6230]

Do they keep their Ultimates in the shipper boxes in store? I know Best Buy has been carrying some of them and they don't have the shippers or the slip covers.

[@lossiiburns]

@@ursupremetoys6230 yes they do I know I was at Best Buy and was like where is the shipping box and slip cover they said that’s how it comes I said no it don’t

[@ursupremetoys6230]

Just got my jackal and rednok. No shippers.

[@ADAM_COLLECTS]

Great review. Junkyard was my favourite toxic avenger, must be my love for werewolves. Ah S7….. It was a lazy effort not putting deco on the weapons. they have done it with TMNT, so why not this? The weapons were where playmates kept cost down and S7 could have improved. I’ll give credit where it’s due, those knee joints are impressively hidden at the front, where it matters. What is weird to me is that S7 seem to have reversed the peg and hole on the belt… am i wrong? If this is meant to be an improvement on the vintage figure, good work, weapons are a let down.

[@ursupremetoys6230]

Couldn't agree more. They definitely needed a painted set of weapons as well. I love the vintage style weapons, but I would have liked to finally see a fully painted gun. And yes the peg was facing out on the vintage belt. I always thought it was hidden well on the original.

[@Wpit2]

nice

[@ursupremetoys6230]

Ditto 👍

[@therealunclassified]

Didn't even notice no shippers lol.
