Macon Blair’s long-awaited “The Toxic Avenger” reboot is really starting to pick up. In the past few weeks, we’ve finally gotten images of Peter Dinklage as our beloved Toxie. The monster hero even helped turn the Chicago River green for St. Patrick’s Day. Now, we have an all-new teaser that shows Dinklage in action and gives us a bit of Troma-esque gore.  The original film hit theaters in 1984 and was co-directed by Troma Entertainment co-founders Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman. It tells the story of Melvin, a bullied janitor at the Tromaville health spa who falls into a vat…
