The Toxic Avenger remake was considered to be an unreleasable movie for several years, but in 2025, the impossible has become reality. With the unrated cut of the film now out in theaters–and garnering positive reviews for its over-the-top violence and general weirdness–the home media release has been set for October 28. Three different Blu-ray editions of The Toxic Avenger are up for preorder now.
Amazon is offering a steep preorder discount on The Toxic Avenger Collector’s Edition Steelbook that drops the price to only $31 (was $50). There’s also a 4K edition with a lenticular sleeve, but it’s still selling for full price. The Toxic Avenger’s standard Blu-ray edition is discounted to $25.85 (was $38), but keep in mind the Steelbook Edition includes 4K and 1080p Blu-ray discs.
The Toxic Avenger Collector’s Edition Steelbook (4K Blu-ray)
$31.13 (was $50) | Releases October 28
The Collector’s Edition Steelbook of The Toxic Avenger Unrated features the mutated face of Toxie–played by Peter Dinklage–while the back has a cool full-body image of the mop-wielding vigilante as he strikes an action pose. Inside, you’ll find promo images of the movie’s two villains, Bob and Fritz Garbinger, played by Kevin Bacon and Elijah Wood, respectively.
It comes with 4K and standard Blu-ray copies of the movie, and bonus features include a behind-the-scenes documentary, director Macon Blair’s audio commentary track, a video on why the world needs Toxie, a 40th anniversary tribute to the original movie, and the film trailer.

The Toxic Avenger Collector’s Edition (4K Blu-ray)
$47 | Releases October 28
The Toxic Avenger’s non-steelbook Collector’s Edition comes with a limited-edition lenticular O-card sleeve featuring Dinklage’s character in human and mutated forms. When you remove the sleeve, you’ll see the cover art pictured above. Toxie is once again preparing for battle and is armed with his trusty mop.
Outside of the different packaging, this 4K edition is the same. It also includes a standard 1080p Blu-ray and the handful of special features found in the Steelbook Edition.
But unlike the Steelbook Edition, this hasn’t received a discount yet, making it significantly more expensive at the moment.
The Toxic Avenger (Standard Blu-ray)
$25.85 (was $38) | Releases October 28
The standard 1080p Blu-ray edition is also billed as a Collector’s Edition, but the “collectible” component here appears to be reversible cover art. The unique cover displayed above shows Toxie doing his best Uncle Sam recruitment pose. The alternate cover art matches the 4K edition. The standard Blu-ray edition comes with the same bonus features.
A remake of Troma Entertainment’s 1984 Toxic Avenger movie, the new version spent several years in limbo. Outside of a few premieres in 2023 at film festivals, the future of the movie looked uncertain as finding a distributor to help release it to a wider audience proved to be especially challenging. As one anonymous producer remarked at the time, The Toxic Avenger was deemed an “unreleasable” movie due to its gory nature and a prediction that it would only attract a niche audience to theaters.
