Tarman first appeared in The Return of the Living Dead (1985), in a petrified state inside of a Trioxin canister. A crack in the tank releases the 2-4-5 Trioxin gas and reawakens the Tarman while melting its skin.

This is an officially licensed and faithful representation of Tarman's head. It came in three colors: 2-4-5 Trioxin Variant in Brown (limited to 250 pieces), Barrel Bronze Variant (unlimited), and Acid Rain Variant in Blue (200 pieces).
