Very cool; I wonder if a small technic blue/yellow rubber band attached with a
‘figure 8’ twist, OR a technic cuttable soft flexible pneumatic tube affixed

make the head too tall or interfere with other bricks or movement or did you
just want to try something different? Your cool inspiration just kicked in on

slope ‘chin’. maybe it’s been done b4 but i just thought of it. Anyways, great
work & great inspiration!
