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.

This version in "Toxic Green" was released by Cavity Colors and limited to 1,000 pieces. There was also a previous first edition in black.
