From http://www.dvdtalk.com/horror/blog/toxies_back.html :
Troma's 35th year is proving to be one of our strongest yet. In addition to our strong slate of new movies and productions, we'll be releasing a new blu-ray every month starting in January.

If it has all the bonuses from the 3-disc, I'm in, because I was just about to buy that one.

Awesome news, now I can (hopefully) have Troma's catalog in Blu.
Will there be a January release? It say's they will start releasing Blu's in January, but Poultrygeist comes out in Feb.

And they probably won't look that good on BD either.

im not expecting them to, considering how old some of them are and how low-budget they are. i DO hope that poultrygeist looks good. besides toxic avenger, poultrygeist is my favorite troma movie.

I was thinking the same. Will take some new features and (hopefully) cleaner transfer for me to purchase on Blu.
As others have said though, i doubt the transfer will look great, just slightly better. The Toxie films are all very low budget, but I hope they put out a good transfer.

Calm down everybody, Troma on Blu-ray means everything looks shittier, and that should be a good thing.
Definitely will grab Poultrygeist and any Toxic Avenger that comes out.

I'm sad to say that I could never get into Troma films....

Definitely an acquired taste. Troma is the definition of low-budget B horror, gore and comedy. I personally love Troma but I can see how people can be turned off by it.

Poultrygeist should look good in HD... it was shot on 35mm stock. ...

Agreed. I've found that I've come to appreciate them more over the years. I'll definitely pick up Poultrygeist and am looking forward to hearing what their other releases will be. Do you really think they'll make Toxic Avenger the first release? I would have thought they would treat it like the Star Wars of the lineup, hold it back for a little bit to get people excited about it. OK, I supposed that is a flawed comparison. We all know that Star Wars gets held back for way more than just a little bit. ;)

That's their moneymaker that got them started. Then it went downhill from there. There's no way it won't be one of the first release products.
Main thing I'm worried about is that they don't care about aspect ratios or putting out the best product they can. Even things like subtitles have been jacked up. I remember, I think it was The Children, where the director had some extra stuff and was really interested in being part of the project with getting the movie out but they ignored him.
I'm interested in some things but I'm going to wait for reviews first.

That's what I'm worried about too and I love Troma films.
When I first read this, the Toxie films were the first to come to mind. The headache I've had trying to differentiate the full Uncut films to the ones just marked wrong.

The more Troma movies I see the more I like them. I think it is safe to say Toxic Avenger could be Troma's first release. That movie essentially made Troma and that is Kaufman's baby. I will have to read reviews to see if an upgrade is worth it, since I own the Complete Toxic Avenger Boxset. I hope the release the movies in a new blu-ray boxset with possibly new features? It would be awesome if the Toxic Crusaders was included, I love that cartoon.

That's what I want. I want the Toxic films, uncut, no messed up framing, and the complete cartoon series.
