WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA — February 2002 — "Suspended in time and space for a moment, your introduction to Miss Janet Tyler…" were the words Rod Serling’s words to his audience at the beginning of Episode 42 entitled, The Eye of the Beholder (November 11, 1960). The Twighlight Zone ran for five seasons (1959-1964) providing its audience with over 150 eerie tales of sheer brilliance. This May, Sideshow Toy is proud to present 12" figures of the Doctor (William D. Gordon) and Nurse (Janet Tyler) from the famed episode, "The Eye of the Beholder". Each figure includes authentic costumes from the episode, a variety of accessories, a display base with the show’s logo, episode, and original airdate printed upon it.
