Hello Horror Fan's, Welcome,and you are viewing a ULTRA RARE and scarce 1st Generation copy of the famous TARMAN ZOMBIE from the cult classic THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD part1, The origin of this casting is straight from The Original Alterian Studios movie mold.This ultra clean resin and hard polyfoam casting is the same familiar face we all have grown to love TARMAN,that is prominantly shown in the basement scene of THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD,w Clu Gallager opens the easter egg or Trioxin Barrel lid To reveal the pre melt down TARMAN ZOMBIE,this is before the glass broke and the Oxygen melts his face down,a particularly cool effect.This prop replica is exactly what you see in the barrel minus the crossed hands in the mummy pose,I un fornutatly did not get the hands,but they are coming soon.This casting is pro made by myself as I am a working Effects Artist in LA,Guaranteed Flawless and perfectly matched and painted to the films exact tones used.The detail is just perfect and the teeth are not painted in the traditional sense they are coated in a several layer process with a prosthetic teeth enamel called minute stain,that is actually used by dentists for ultra realism.T were over 20 colors used in the paint scheme,and 10 different washes done to this face.The casting is a typical wall mounted 3/4 size head cast, this was exactly like what was seen in the barrel,it was not a full head.If you are a RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD buff or a diehard fan you cant pass this up,Head will come with standard wall mount hardware installed.This Cast is number 8 out of 20.All painted in the same process,Identical colors and techniques used.Note:pics are washed out by camera flash,I just couldnt get a true color shot! Attn Recasters---, I have had this head in my collection for over 10 years,I made the mold for these from my original,and I have added a SPECIAL ingredient to my matte clear coat that will contaminate,all silicones including tin based silicones and urethane molding compounds from curing,so if you were planning on making money off of this head I have a surprise for you,lol These heads will be made to order,please allow at least 3 days extra for finishing, On a future note, I have included a picture of the next TARMAN head casting/prop replica I will offer very soon,Not exactly sure when ,within a month,sorry for the delay been really busy, EVEN RARER a cleaned up and first gen POST MELT down HEAD,this cast is the only one known in existence,as it was the plaster cast of the face that remains after the melt sequence,and is the first original sculpt of how TARMAN looks out of the barrel,It looks exactly like the EC Bernie Wrightson Artwork sketches of TARMAN,It is smaller than the Head Im offering cause the head was casted in two layers PRE and POST melt sequence,and it was inside the face above as a core mold.You are bidding on 1 painted head in the pictures only and will not recieve them both,look for it soon!!!!,Save yourself some time and ME !,I added a quick buy it now price thats fair for the labor I put into each one.They are a pain in the ass to finish,lots and lots of tedious steps. Thanks for looking, and trust my feedback on Quality and service on EBAY,100% positive for a reason.The pictures of this head do not do it justice at all, t are many many colors in the skin that did not show in the pics,you will Love it! read more
