A turn of the head
Head turn adds expression to your character’s performance. The head and eyes coordinate their direction, with adjustable turning speed and range.
A mouth that follows your audio
The installed ServoTalk controller responds to your audio and moves the jaw in sync. No specially encoded audio track is required.
Eyes with personality
Eyes look around at random, moving more frequently while the skull talks. LED settings include steady illumination, voice-responsive throbbing, and fade-in/fade-out behavior.

Questions before you order.
Do I need to program it?
No. Your Head Turn skull arrives with its ServoTalk controller installed and calibrated. Supply an audio playback source and suitable mounting support.
How does the head turn?
The head turns occasionally as the character talks. Movement is random, with the head and eyes moving in the same direction. Both the speed and amount of head turn are adjustable.
Can I use my own audio?
Yes. The mouth responds to the audio you provide through the supplied 3.5 mm audio connection.
Can two skulls talk to each other?
A two-character setup can use a stereo track with one voice in each channel. Ask us about the equipment and wiring for your two-skull setup.
What about an optional body?
The optional body is separate from this skull purchase. Its listed dimensions are 20 inches high, 14 inches wide, with a 12.5-inch base diameter. Contact us about availability and compatibility.
