Some people were using a system a while back where you had the operating mechanism in your mouth and you controlled it by opening and closing your mouth, it looked like a large hair clip with elastic bands going to the mandibles. personally, I would steer clear of anything with cables or bands under tension, think how close they are to your eyes if one snaps - that's just my opinion.

I found a video on youtube that I think is the best illustration yet on how to build a Predator mask with working mandibles without using an uncomfortable paper clip or remote servos or anything like that. This guy shows exactly where to place the wires/rubber bands on his mask so that when he opens the mouth the mandibles open outward at the same time. Hope this helps. here's a link to the video:

I found this video where this person has made a Predator mask with moving mandibles and I think it's the best one so far on where you have to connect the wires/rubber bands on the mask so that when the mouth opens the mandibles open with it. My suggestion is to download the video so that you can then pause the video or zoom in to see how he made it. It's actually a pretty simple set up and works really well. Hope it helps you, here's the video:

Here is another video of moving jaw/mandibles. Also, I believe his eyebrow also moves.
