Hi here is the TNMT suit I just finished.
and here he is moving, not quite finished version.

I've been asked to explain the mouth mech. it's actually pretty simple,
here is a look at the undermask.
it is made from aluminum strips riveted together with a pivoting jaw that opens via a chin strap and closes via a spring.
Here I've cut some teeth out of plastic and added pink rubber gums and I've attached the top lip mechanism on pivots.
And these are the eyes, I blow formed them from clear acrylic and painted the inside.
put some foam on for lips and to check movement
and then added a little more and shot this vid

clear as mud?
