The irrepressible Tall Man, arch-villain of the Phantasm saga, harder to kill than a post-nuclear cockroach. Originally the Tall Man comes from another dimension, a barren world with a dense gravity field, a world populated by the ugly robed dwarves who act as servitors to the Tall Man's destructive and ultimately indiscernible whims. To make sure that he always keeps a pantry full of servitors, the Tall Man utilizes a transdimensional gate to journey to Earth. There, surreptitiously, he sets up bogus funeral parlors in backwater towns, lures and kills his victims, then converts them into more dwarves, seals them inside metal canisters and sends them back through the gate to...well...Tall Man World.

The figure captures the Tall Man in perfect detail. The black suit, the skeletal frame. The malignant expression marking the long vulturelike face. Despite his awkward appearance, the Tall Man often exhibits superhuman strength, carrying around tenanted caskets and the like. The figure is accompanied by one of the Tall Man's skulking servitors. To further enhance his position of authority, he also comes equipped with his nefarious flying death-sphere, a sentient enforcer invested with an on-board arsenal of blades and brain-puncturing drills.
