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 with friction between other pieces would work. Does using a 1x1 round plate make the head too tall or interfere with other bricks or movement or did you just want to try something different?

Anyways, great work & great inspiration!
