Seems to be the only head prop I've ever seen for sale:

I have seen this head on ebay before.It refers to the head being featured in a book, but if you compare them, you can see it is not the same head.

You mean the colour? Sure it's not THAT head, but it is from the same molds. And it's casted in resin, way better for storing than the original foam latex.

 

[muppetperson]

I would say that it isnt even from the same mould! Look under the eyes area at what looks like breath holes.There are much more on the one from the book.The one for sale doesnt look original to me-more rougher.And the nose doesnt have the claw end.

Hang on, arent you the seller? Maybe the heads look different because of the angle that the sale head is taken on?

 

[Laszlo]

Yes, it's a different angle. Here is another pic:

I can tell you it's deffinitely from the original forms. I have good closeups from the movie puppet and compared every little sculpting marks.

 

[muppetperson]

Yes, I see now.
