accurate latex Yoda head

[thawn_es]

I´m searching for an accurate latex yoda´s head, because I´m making a full puppet,
I got the inside armature,but i need the head,hands and feet.
If anyone can help me?

I don´t want cheaper latex mask like rubbies,don post,etc...
I´m searching for the most accurate mask like as we saw in ESB.

Thanks!

Contact CYBERMAN, he made the most accurate Yoda so far and offers fg as well as rubber/ latex/silicone (not sure what he uses) heads and hands

Cyberman head is deffo a quality bit of gear however i think there was only two options fibreglass and latex rubber.

the latex rubber version comes partially foam filled to hold shape. if these are still available and you have any large mechanisms to put in then you would need to ask for it not to have the rubber in it if thats an option.

heres my partially completed puppet using Cybermans head

Wow, you did a great job on that Yoda. Congrats:eek

I believe that if you tell him it's for a puppet he will accomodate the latex version without foam.

Yea, you certainly don't want the head with too much foam as it will become a bit top-heavy and awkard to perform. However, you still want something to maintain the shape, I would recomend having it partially filled with a liquid Urthane foam as it's the lightest, just allowing a nice amount of room for your hand to slide into the mouth area. Also line the inside of the hand-opening with a spandex material sleeve and have it run down and out the neck where it can then be attached to the bottom of the body. Just my two cents..

got any pics of the mechanism you need to house?

ideal way to go would be screen style and have the fibreglass shells in place for support and feature movement

Thanks for the info,but CYBERMAN doesn´t have any latex head for sale!:cry

any more idea?

Looks like your only option is to wait it out and get one on the aftermarket. Someone is always selling something for $$$ issues or to make space from something they want more....etc.. Just keep your eyes peeled. Just make sure it is a Cyberman head if you want accuracy.

I will be patient!
