That looks great Phil!
Just about punching hair . . . it is an artform in itself. Here's a quote from Nick Maley who talkes about Graham Freeborn who punched Yoda's original hair :
"Bails of synthetic (hair like) thread were threaded through hypodermic needles and punched right into the skin itself one hair at a time."
One can read the whole article hear for those interested :

you have pretty much thrown down the gauntlet with this sculpt.
id like to make a suggestion if i may. the hair looks too white imho, if you look at the screen heads they are pretty yellowee/brown and get darker the closer to the skin, especially in the ears.
i found some goat hair in my local fishing shop that would be a pretty good match.
love the new pics, you have captured him for sure.

You have GOT to be kidding me?!?!?!?! That is flippin amazing...OUTSTANDING work!!!
Back in 1996 my girlfriend (now wife) bought me an Illusive Yoda for Christmas...It was the beginning of what went on to become a pretty extensive SW collection. Years later I ended up having to sell it to pay off a bill. After that, I swore that I would wait for the creation of the ultimate Yoda to replace it. I cannot imagine them ever being better than this. Simply saying "I want one" would not even do justice to how those pics made me feel.
Stunning work...

lol thanks guys
Right just got this message from Nick Maley about these latest pics....
"very nice Phil. Don't let the hair get clumpy. It was literally two hairs from each hole. Remember there were 4 versions so don't judge by non-screen photos. Hair around the ears. Not really growing out of them significantly. There was quite a bit of hair but not long stands. The under hair round the back of neck was longer because it was laid. (Much faster). But, if I remember right, in front of ears and the top 3 inches was syringed with a single 16" hair being punched in TWICE which amounted to two holes sprouting 4 x 4" hairs. Is this a foam latex skin or what? As a display we really need more longevity."

Nice cane. have you also been working on hands and feet or are you keeping the ones from last time. It seemed they were pretty perfect the last time around.
