Did those toys come out while those movies were out, or afterwards for nostalgia purposes? I think I remember Alien 4 toys being out (by which time the franchise was over established)

I remember watching the tamer cartoon version of the Toxic Avenger, never saw the original movie(s).

The toxic avenger cartoon came a bit later than the films. I had a couple of the toys and a few years later was shocked to see the movie they were based on.

"I hope I dont get hurt!"

Was a strange discovery for me...
