The Gorgs' heads turn invisible in the episode "The Great Radish Famine".

I still wonder how they accomplished that effect. Do you suppose it could have been a specially built Junior puppet or a blue screen effect or some other technical manner?

Well it was all 3 Gorgs...I just assumed the Gorg costumes were so big the actors heads didn't reach into the character heads anyway, so they just took the heads off, but I guess their heads did go into them since the actors relied on "Gorg vision" through pupiles (teehee, "Gorg vision"). Now this is interesting...

I think it was just a blue screen effect or they just edited the head out in the editing process. Probably isn't that hard to do, even with the technology of the 1980s.
