But I've never seen one...
Julien I've been trying to find more information on this since I made the thread, I know it's been mentioned that the Green Laserdisc is Toxic Avenger, The: Unrated Director's Cut (1985) (Uncut) [TRO-7000], but here's some proof that it was at least planned for production, still no evidence of the disc itself. The color is listed as Yellow on the database entry, which isn't that common for a US release, so it's likely they just made it yellow because it was easier. Does anyone have a Yellow PAL or Japanese Rental LD and this Toxic Avenger release to compare the colors?

Alright folks, we now have confirmation thanks to Robert Bortignon on Laserdisc Forever, Toxic Avenger IS NOT just yellow, it's a golder color with a green tint to it. Nice to finally have this settled!

I've changed the image hosting over to Imgur, I figured Discord would work but I guess not. I've attached the two files to this reply as well if that's still not working, thanks for the heads up Julian.
