The "Kongo" head is made in a 12 step process much like the way the old Don Post Halloween type masks were made. The rubber gorilla skin is attached to a fiberglass underskull. The lower jaw is hinged with hidden return springs so when the actor opens his/her mouth, the gorilla does likewise. It takes between 50-70 hours to complete the head. The coloring, hairing and shading is all done by hand. Single hairs are punched in and around the frame of the face for the utmost in realism. The teeth, tongue and gums are all hand made and painted as well.

For a complete "custom fit" I will send you the head with several foam blocks for you to istall to take up the extra room in the head. All you'll need is a glue gun.

Each head comes with complete instructions on customizing the fit as well as the care and feeding of your new gorilla head!
