The Toxic Crusaders toy line only lasted for one wave, with a second planned but never produced due to the cartoon never gaining enough popularity and poor toy sales. For wave two, guest stars from the cartoon such as Snail Man and Mower Man were planned along with regular villain Mayor Grody, based on the corrupt Mayor Belgoody from the Toxic Avenger film. Grody appeared in almost every episode of the cartoon as one of Dr Killemoffs main allies so felt missing from the original toyline. Especially as the line consisted of five heroes but only four villains. Grody would have made up the numbers.
Finally Trick or Treat studios are releasing the unproduced Grody figure which until now had only been seen in a few prototype photographs.
Grody scales pretty well with the vintage line but is slightly bigger than he would have been if released in the early 90s. Trick or Treat have also re-released Toxie and Dr Killemoff slightly taller too. Perhaps as a way to get collectors to re-buy characters they already have so all scale exactly with each other.
