Monte\'s is easily the best. Harry Inman did one too that was pretty good. It got the cartoonishness down, just more stylized. It wasn\'t as screen-accurate as Monte\'s.
There\'s several more out there but they all look off to me. People always tend to miss the point when sculpting Tarman. He\'s supposed to look HAPPY. People try and make him look mean and pissed off, which doesn\'t fit the character. He\'s overjoyed to be up and walking around munching brains. It\'s all one big party to him lol.
I agree on the Amok Time figure. That thing is awesome. I thought it would never come out, but it finally did. I still need to pick one up.
If you\'re looking to see what all else is out there, just search Google images for Tarman mask or bust. You\'ll see what I mean about most of the rest of them. Not bad efforts in terms of general sculpting talent or ability in most cases - they just miss the essence of the character IMO. If they just tweaked his expression, it would make a lot of them soooo much better and more desirable, at least for me.
