I'm a big Yoda fan myself. I have a much smaller scaled ESB Yoda sculpt going at the moment. With ages plunked into it.
One thing I've noticed about the ESB Yoda puppets eyes- is that there appears to be an optically clear vacuformed styrene shell that rest over the animatronic acrylic eyes.
I believe this was done to prevent frictional wear and tear from the animatronic eye moments against the latex lids. This also means that basically the eyes orbital form/shape is always the same shape even when the eyes move around underneath this clear protective casing.
I've yet to see anyone else detect or talk about this. I watched chapter 31's Yoda's "Feel the Force" speech for several hours in HD resolution from a ripped VOB too come too this conclusion- as I was having eye issues with my sculpt.
I'm nearly 99.9 percent sure about this now.

Sounds like you've got your teeth into your Yoda project itsalive 
Myself, I'm tinkering with a new head I've just made.. its got wires inside the ears and restructured inner eyesockets that make the brows and eyelids look slightly different. its amazing what you can do my adding this and taking away that.. just that same latex head but worked on differently.

looking great guys. especially Cyb and the new look head looks good with the ears posed. im thinking of tryin to get some rods in mine that just move them a little as hes articulated.
ive started painting mine (by hand) but ive ordered an air brush. went in looked at the ones they had and went for the dearer one as they said you can alter the spray types better. i have never used one before but im sure it will make these projects more interesting. anyway heres a pic i took with web cam as itll probably show better than my digi cam :/ just the base colours the now i hope to do more detail with this gun.
slightly different colours than you guys i think.. any thoughts
