Inika Head alternates?

[Click]

So, I'm not sure where to put this, but here it goes. I'm currently working on a MOC that, storywise, uses an Iden. The problem is, I really hate the Inika heads, and I would prefer to have an eye color rather than green. I have seen people use cloth elements inside, or Nuva shoulderpads, but I would like to know if there is anyone out there that has a particularly clever idea for a new Inika head. I've been messing with it for quite a while now, and I can't find anything that looks quite right.

To get a less-skinny neck, you can use the design I came up with in this MOC. To change the eye color, you can use paper under the mask.

If you're making a MOC (I'm assuming that you are)

No need to assume anything.

 

 

 

I've seen (and created) a few Technic-intensive designs that, while not perfect, can generally hold the rubber heads in place. I'm still working on figuring something out and I'll let you know if I come up with anything good.

Wups. That completely flew over my head.

A Toa Mata head with another part like 6575 behind it works OK, although the eyes might not glow as well as with a mask that leaves the top or back of the head exposed.

You can always paint it, just be careful.

I've actually just slipped Inika masks over Mata heads in the past. They are a bit loose, but if you just intend to pose them and leave them there, it works well.

I once saw a guy give instructions to properly put Mata heads onto Inika masks, and they fit. But that was years ago and I forgot where to look. At least I know it's possible.

I may try the Mata head. I do like the look of the eyes, and it shouldn't be too hard to hook it to a ball joint. The only problem is that now I can't find my Iden. I have two brothers that are always taking pieces in and out of my room, so it could be anywhere. If I can't find it, I may try to 3D print a normalified version.

Do you mean print it with an axle in the mouth? Cause you should see about also printing something like a mask-to-face adapter, to attach to a head piece and slip the Inika mask over it, something that closes that gap so it sits snugly and doesn't wobble, but doesn't modify the head or mask themselves

Minifigure capes can pretty easily slide under there - and then stay there - but you might have a bit of trouble tucking in the edges that poke out from behind the mask.
