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 mug version has replaced the trioxin container with a wooden barrel of booze marked "XXX" but Tarman still looks right at home.

Limited release on October 7th-10th, 2021 for the New York Comic Con, by Entertainment Earth. Manufactured by Geeki Tikis. Others in this same release included Evil Dead Ash and The Creep from Creepshow. Wide release slated for June 2022.
