The Tarman - Toy Update

Arguably one of the most recognizable zombies outside of the Romero clan, Tarman is finally making his way to your toy shelf.  Unfortunately, he's been delayed until February of next year.  While this is sad news to many of us, it isn't necessarily a bad thing.  I'll take a delay over a shoddy finished product any day.

Tarman is being brought to us by Amok Time toys who are also responsible for the Bub action figure as well as a 12" Cemetery Zombie.  Amok Time is unique as they seem to create some of the more obscure movie characters from out past such as Blacula and Elvira. 

I had the pleasure of meeting the President of Amok Time, Paul Lazo, at Steel City Con a few months back.  Paul is a great guy and because he's a collector too, I trust that we will have a great figure in the near future.

For the record... YES, we will have Tarman available in the Zombie Toy Store!

Dr. Tongue Toy Review

Ahhh, toys. My heart flutters upon hearing the word alone. Put the word "zombie" before it and my heart does jumping jacks. One of my favorite toy review sites is Michael Crawford's (find it by clicking here). If it's your first visit, I suggest clicking "search reviews" and take a gander at all of the toy goodness. You will not have a difficult time finding something fun to read. Case in point, the recent review of Dr. Tongue.

Day of the Dead is one of Romero's classics but has always been the bastard step-child when it comes to toys and collectibles. I mean, we all love "Bub" but what other zombies from that movie have we seen? It seems that Dawn of the Dead gets all of the attention. Well, AmokTime is bringing us a gem with their Dr. Tongue figure. Take a gander at the few pics taken from Crawford's site then click here to see them all and read the review.

Oh, and speaking of Bub, there's a review for him over there as well. Just click here to read it!
