Making of: Technical Description: The head has 12 servos, 10 for the eye and brows and 2 for the jaw, jaw slew. Eye mixing and jitter was programmed in my own iPuPEXT unit, with dual 3 axis control sticks for pupeteering. The head was self contained utilising a magnetic latching battery compartment in the base of the neck, and a magnetic on, off switch buried below the skin for ease of power saving without battery removal.
