The collection boasts an array of items, encompassing vinyl and CD formats, shirts, skate decks, ashtrays, and more. The CD reissue of Toxicity boasts an updated cover design and a hidden track, formerly known within the fanbase as \"Arto,\" now titled \"Der Voghormia,\" an authentic Armenian hymn. The vinyl reissue is presented on a special-colored disc complete with an additional 7\" featuring the track \"Johnny,\" previously available solely on scarce special editions of Toxicity. The merchandise line encompasses a diverse set of rare and distinctive items, including a reproduction of the album release party T-shirt once bestowed exclusively to attendees, which was subsequently banned by the police, \"Chop Suey!\" Chinese takeout earrings, a compact mirror, and numerous novel T-shirt and hoodie designs. All these items, and more, can be accessed through System of A Down's webstore via the Toxicity collection page.
