Yoda - is this "legit"? (from an old random photo)

Browsing Flickr, and I see this photo - the Yoda looks really really good for a fan "in the wild" in 1980:

YOu guys think it's got some provenance tracing to the real molds?

I didnt know Yoda and Austin Powers were childhood friends!

It is not from the film molds. Too many things are off. Great Fanmade Yoda, no doubts there.

Don Post?

Looks like a young Christian Slater.

Definitely not.
Reminds me of the same style mask seen in the famous trick or treat sequence in E.T.

 

[GINO]

Here you go.

Scratch that.
Could be a fan sculpt. Either way, definitely not tied to anything original.

I think it looks way more accurate than the one in E.T....looks great although not hyper accurate.

All I can say is pretty cool for 1980!
